Linda

We started out as children, with the whole world to explore

You always had a big heart, keeping open every door

Through the chapters of our story and the secrets that we hid

You could always make me laugh just like we were still kids

We grew up side by side as the pages slowly turned

And you were there to comfort me through every lesson learned.

Oh Linda, it’s a rare thing, this journey that we shared

A lifetime of a friendship, I knew you always cared

From the playground to the twilight, right up until the end

You never cast a judgment, my true and steady friend

When I look back on everything we’ve been through

You were the only one who really knew me.

The years just kept on rolling, the world got spinning fast

But we held onto a promise that was always built to last

You always had a funny line to lighten up the room

Your loving, tender spirit chased away the heavy gloom

Even when the days were long and the roads got hard to tread

I could count upon the wisdom in the gentle things you said.

Oh Linda, it’s a rare thing, this journey that we shared

A lifetime of a friendship, I knew you always cared

From the playground to the twilight, right up until the end

You never cast a judgment, my true and steady friend

When I look back on everything we’ve been through

You were the only one who really knew me.

It's hard to say goodbye to the one who held my hand

Through every single season, you could always understand

We were truly friends for life, a bond that time can't break

I'll hold onto your laughter for my own aching heart's sake.

Oh Linda, it’s a rare thing, this journey that we shared

A lifetime of a friendship, I knew you always cared

From the playground to the twilight, right up until the end

You never cast a judgment, my funny, loving friend

When I look back on everything we’ve been through

You were the only one who really knew me

Yeah, Linda, you're the only one who really knew me.
