Manilow, Barry - A Linda Song Lyrics
He never wrote a song for Linda
He wrote as though he lived alone
He wrote of dreams that end of sad brave men
Inventing worlds he never know
And she was right there all alone
Loved him back to life
When his luck ran low
But he never wrote a Linda song
He nearly broke his heart at writing
Linda kept him from despair
Standing by his side, through the hungry days
But he hardly seemed to see her there
And she was right there all alone
The one real thing in his crazy world
And he never wrote a Linda song
When the bills piled up and couldn't pay
He couldn't dream no more
So he hitched a ride and he road away
And he left a note for Linda by the door
By the door
When times got rough he phone her
Once or twice she took the call
Then she changed her number and she turned her head
And Linda never looked back at all
He'll never write a song for Linda
And she was right there all alone
Oh he knows,is no one understands
And he never wrote a Linda song
No he never wrote a Linda song

Manilow, Barry A Linda Song Comments
Linda Allen was his long time companion/girlfriend. She was in his life before he became a star. Read the book Manilow wrote - he talks about her. There are many pics of them together in the 70s on pintrest. I’ve always wondered whatever happened to her...
Heard this song in basic training. We all ribbed the dude who had it, but somehow never got around to tellin' him to shut it off when he'd play it.......
I am a "Linda"
8 years.....
1:53 - 2:08 that line breaks my heart even after all these years
He never wrote a song for Linda
He wrote as though he lived alone
He wrote of dreams that end
And of sad brave men
Inventing worlds he'd never known
But he never wrote a song for Linda
And she was right there all along
Loved him back to life
When his luck ran low
But he never wrote a Linda song
He nearly broke his heart at writing
Linda kept him from despair
Standin' by his side
Through the hungry days
But he hardly seemed to see her there
And he never wrote a song for Linda
And she was right there all along
The one real thing in his crazy world
And he never wrote a Linda song.
When the bills piled up
He couldn't pay
He couldn't dream no more
So he hitched a ride and he rode away
And he left a note for Linda by the door
By the door
When times got rough he'd phone her
Once or twice she took the call
Then she changed her number and she turned her head
And Linda never looked back at all
He'll never write a song for Linda
And she was right there all along
All he knows is no one understands
And he never wrote a Linda song
No he never wrote a Linda song
...when times got rough he'd phone her, once or twice she took the call
then she changed her number and she turned her head and Linda never looked back at all
I’m a Linda
Linda, there's always somebody writing something for you. As I'm doing.
Linda grant me too
this song brings a tear to my eye.. so beautiful.
Great tune. Short, sweet and to the point.
Todas sus canciones son preciosas..., busco un vídeo que hizo con dibujos animados era muy especial pero no logro encontrarlo si alguien puede ayudarme
TOO SENTIMENTAL SONG....
Ridiculous. I suppose you want to add some "beatz" and edgy lyrics to make it cool....
I remember listening to this album one side to the other as a teenager....I would listen privately in bedroom and at times even cry, lol....Such a long time ago.
my husband left me while this song was popular. yeah I cry still
Sorry to hear that Lyn.
Hopefully you are beginning to move on which can't be easy.
awesome song. how many times did Barry come through when you needed just the perfect song????
+alankadair Indeed, every time.
alankadair Almost Every One of them...
alankadair an accurate number would be difficult to gauge
This song made my heart ache...
Great song. Thanks for posting.
I still have this album; I purchased it in 1978. Plays great. This is one of my favorite albums; Even Now.
+Edward Wylie I still have mine too....someplace. Loved it in its day, and still listen to the songs. I often ask different Linda's that I run into... "Are you the Linda that Barry Manilow sings about?"
@Bat65 That sounds like a great pick up line ...hehe....
+Edward Wylie Like what you did there, and it's one of my favorites, and obviously a lot of other peoples' too. Sucks that too many guys didn't feel "free" to like this real, beautiful, touching music. Barry is plenty ManEnough.
This was my moms favorite song! She was in the BM fanclub. So hard to listen.Her name was Linda
I miss her too Jors. Everytime I hear Barry it wells up
This is one of my all time favorites! I don't know why Manilow isn't as big with people these days as he had been years ago! His music is just fantastic! And this is coming from a former fan of 'gangster rap' hahaha
This song is so freaking great a linda song.
He wrote this for his manager.
