Linda On My Mind (Rerecorded)

Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind

And next to me, my soon-to-be, the one I left behind

And Lord, it's killing me to see her crying

She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind

Yes, I know that I once loved her

And I placed no one above her

And I never thought I'd ever set her free

But it just wasn't in my plans

The way that Linda squeezed my hand

The first time that I held her close

As she danced with me

She said, "I've loved you for a long time

But you're married to a friend of mine

And I've tried hard to never let it show

But my love for you is stronger

I can't hide it any longer"

And so I thought I'd better let you know

That I'm lying here with Linda on my mind

And next to me, my soon-to-be, the one I left behind

And Lord, it's killing me to see her crying

She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind
