You Can Close Your Eyes

My mom used to sing this to me and my sister. We ALWAYS CRIED. >_<; I didn't want to think about my mom dying when I was 7.

THANK YOU for posting this. As much as I like James Taylor's material, Linda's version of this song is a CLASSIC and has always been top a favorite of mine. . Her voice is heavenly,.  Also, not to harsh anyone's mellow', if you haven't already heard, Andrew Gold checked out about a month ago. RIP

It's "The sun is surely sinking..." not "The sun is slowly sinking..."  I guess it's ok to change J.T.'s lyrics???

[Dragonfaire]

I prefer to hear James...

[Wagsputin]

Simply lovely.

[AnotherSpecialEdMom]

Thank you, thank you. This song brings back both happy and sad memories for me. I listened to Heart Like a Wheel so much that I wore it out.

[Zachain]

In my opinion, incomparable to James' version.

when i was a baby (born 1989), i was put to bed every night to a cassette with this song on it. when the cassette wasn't around, my mom would sing it to me. i absolutely love this.

[gillybird86]

Same here. Though it was a different version. The tape I had, had a "good morning" side, and a "goodnight" side. Covers of "Morning has broken", Rise and shine", and "59th street bridge song" was also on there as well.

SaintFu, lush and lovely indeed!

newtonmonroe-

Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it.

There is so much on this album (Heart Like a Wheel) to enjoy. I think one of the best photos ever taken of Linda Rondstadt graces the cover of this album.

Take care,

SaintFu

Saintfu: I just wanted to thank you for posting this classic song. I have listend to Linda's rendition for thirty years, and it still haunts. Thank you for this!

mlc2005,

You're quite welcome. Thanks for stopping by.

I didn't have much vinyl when I was in college, but this album (Heart Like a Wheel) was among the collection. There's so much on the album that will make you cry, "Failthless Love" perhaps being the best example. When I went completely digital in my music collection, this album was one that survived the transition. You're right - she does an excellent job, here.

Best,

SaintFu

Hey!

Thanks for your comment.

I checked out your page - I like what I see in your favorites. Based on what you listen to, I might suggest you check out Eva Cassidy on YouTube. Anything she did live at Blues Alley will make you cry, guaranteed.

Best,

SaintFu
