Ronstadt, Linda - Tracks Of My Tears Lyrics






People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Oh I need you, need you

Since you left me if you see me with another guy
Looking like I'm having fun
Although he might be cute he's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one

So take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
I'm just a clown since you put me down
My smile is my make-up I wear since my break-up with you

Baby take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Woah baby take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

  8. P.... W....

    could you imagine sitting in the Troubadour having a few drinks listening to a Linda Ronstadt set and then walking outside on a hot summer La night smoking a cigarette times are great by the way this is my daughter's account I'm a 59 year old male and I wish I could go back to my Blue Bayou

  9. K.... S....

    🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

  10. j.... ....

    So good so strong and so fragile ... life sung in beauty.

  11. A.... Z....

    She's perfect

  12. c.... ....

    I love her smile at the end of the song. She should of been proud. What a beautiful person.

  13. M.... D....

    Listening to Linda since getting home from military in late dec 67...She is Absolutely the best of the best in any type of Music you could have put in front of her ........from the Stone Pony's throughout her Career she is an American Treasure ! ol couple of 50yrs way down in TX Lovin Linda and wishing her Goodness, Grace Happiness and a cure for her illness...Thank You for all of Your Dedication to Perfection in your Life of Music all the memories...Blessings you so Deserve..ol couple way down in TX

  14. S.... W....

    Lord can't give you back your youth - but for a few minutes perhaps hours - Ronstadt can.

  15. J.... A....

    Linda out smokes Smokey. No easy (little)feat I'm willin to bet...

  16. G.... H....

    I think she is handling her age and illness well, good luck kid.

  17. S.... ....

    WOW, she sounds so good! Such a pure heartfelt performance. Just a little frustrated with the video pulling away from her too often and at key moments like when she hits the high note at 2:30. Maybe a split screen at times would have been better. Still have her albums.

  18. H.... M....

    I cry every time I hear this song, and she has such a beautiful voice!!! :) <3

  19. c.... g....

    You'll really notice how she sang it through her chest. She improved as time goes learning the vocal and breathing styles and it's quite far from her vocal range with her nelson riddle and mexican songs. That's a true master of musical arts.

  20. R.... C....

    Truly amazing. What a quality singer and person.

  21. D.... J....

    Her singing is so perfect, puts tears in my eyes.

  22. T.... K....

    Almost as good as the Little Anthony and the Imperials song this is a cover of LOL

    T.... K....

    The original is Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. Little Anthony Never recorded this, perhaps you are thinking of Hurt So Bad. Linda's versions are Divine.

  23. K.... B....

    OMG what a voice !

  24. K.... D....

    Never be a another singer like linda ronstadt because she only one that can sing🎶🎶🎶🎶

  25. c.... ....

    Lindas voice had everything.soft sweet, then powerful in a moment. She had it all, and Beautiful too. What a dream!

  26. R.... A....

    Fell in love with the voice! But her natural beauty, wow!

  27. b.... ....

    Love the Prominent Front Teeth.

  28. M.... D....

    Someone needs to fix that drag at the three minute mark. Get a digital person on that ASAP.

  29. B.... K....

    Although this is close to the final released version of this song, it is not identical. It looks like she's struggling with her headphones, too... wonder what that is about?

    This is the version of the song that was released on the album and as a single: https://youtu.be/26bNyb3KfEY

  30. W.... Z....

    547 jealous morons

  31. D.... S....

    This is a shitstorm of calm

  32. A.... M....

    she's so brill!

  33. K.... B....

    LOVE HER!! <3

  34. J.... B....

    The undisputed Queen of Cover.

  35. d.... s....

    Linda has a very powerful and beautiful voice. In my book, second only to Karen Carpenter.

  36. B.... E....

    I like the real version but really good singer

  37. A.... A....

    Achingly beautiful -- song and songstress.

  38. B.... L....

    Linda......you did well sweetheart! You and your sweet voice will never be forgotten. Your life....well done sweetie!

  39. H.... G....

    I'm in love 😍😗

  40. d.... m....

    I’m just blown away. The voice is so crisp.

  42. J.... S....

    Vocals so pure and effortless... Thank you Linda🖤✨

  43. E.... L....

    You are the best Linda!

  44. S.... S....

    Thank you for this great video. This is the www.singdaily.com Song of the Day for January 8th, 2020.

  45. E.... S....

    You can clearly hear that "Eagles" sound in there on the back up. They sounded great together and complimented each other.

  46. B.... K....

    3 million views. Heh who s she on steel

  47. T.... N....

    Typical.....

  48. T.... N....

    Keep singing black people music, but took her fat ass over to SA and performed during apartheid.....no respect for,her.....fat ass.

  49. L.... B....

    The ability to turn good songs into Massive Hits/Great songs when she sang. Long live Linda, G.O.A.T.

  50. D.... J....

    That little smile at the end says, "I laid that track down!"

  51. R.... B....

    Excellent documentary on CNN films now.

  52. L.... W....

    This takes me back to middle school …… I loved her

    L.... W....

    I agree.

  53. C.... ....

    Even the angels are jealous of that voice

  54. D.... N....

    Andrew Gold on guitar. Greg Ladanyi on the board.

  55. C.... V....

    This woman can sing anything n everything. Grew up listening to her now I'm sitting herw in my living room listening to Linda with my son sharing my memories of her music with him.

  56. r.... l....

    What amazing talent, nailing it live in one take, they don't (can't) do it like that anymore!

  57. S.... T....

    I don't know why, but her music always seems to find me when I need it. The only word I can find for that is magical.

  58. H.... ....

    A Voice From The Heavens

  59. s.... ....

    The genius of Motown should be noted here. Written by Smokey Robinson.

  60. D.... A....

    Sorry to say that she is a peace of shit

  61. N.... D....

    An INCREDIBLE Talent!!

    N.... D....

    easy to look at as well

  62. N.... H....

    Wish she could have done more collaboration with the Eagles; two of the very best. Hope all is going well for her, she gave us a piece of her soul every song.

  63. W.... V....

    She can sing. I just wish people would stick to their original songs. Because fair or not, many people can't help but compare, and the original usually wins out.

    W.... V....

    Well, that's what is called 'Artist Interpretation'.

    W.... V....

    @Cro Magnon Yeah, true, but nevertheless, some things shouldn't be touched.

  64. M.... M....

    Effortless w/out vocal gymnastics(ugh)
    One of a kind.

  65. L.... Y....

    Yep, she makes it her own.❤

  66. N.... H....

    I get very emotional when I think of how she's been deprived of her beautiful voice. Truly heartbreaking.

  67. E.... S....

    One of those unique singers to this day. No one sounds like Linda.

    E.... S....

    Eden Seven thank god.

  68. K.... S....

    Voice like velvet.

  69. A.... R....

    Linda and a lap steel just go together perfectly! Amazing voice. Just fills the room with emotion. Not like I can say anything else that hasn't already been said, but what a fox! Absolutely naturally beautiful. I'm 35, and I've had a crush on her for some time now. A long, long time, even!

  79. T.... T....

    20 seconds of dead air makes this video unsuitable for looping.
