A Long, long time

Of all the ones she was the one

I thought she was the best

In looks and voice and lovely eyes

Far, far above the rest

She stole my heart I fell for her

I loved her from the start

If free to love I’d love her true

She really had my heart

Linda Ronstadt is her name

I loved her from afar

Romantic yes I know it is

But that’s the way we are

And seeing her face again today

I suddenly realised

I met my own true Linda

Under those Scottish skies

My Maggie had the looks of her

Dark hair and shining eyes

And love came walking in my door

To my happy great surprise

A sad song that our Linda sang

I find a fitting rhyme

For the girl I met I think I’ll love

For a long, long time
