Linda Ronstadt - Long Long Time

Linda Ronstadt sang Long Long Time in Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour 1970

written by Gary B. White

Love will abide, take things in stride
Sounds like good advice but there's no one at my side
And time washes clean love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means.

Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time

Caught in my fears
Blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me when you never let me near
And I never drew one response from you
All the while you fell all over girls you never knew
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me for a long long time

Wait for the day
You'll go away
Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay
And life's full of flaws
Who knows the cause?
Living in the memory of a love that never was
Cause I've done everything I know to try and change your mind
and I think I'm gonna miss you for a long long time
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time.

Since the first time I looked into her eyes, and heard the passion of this shy, fragile angel at the Troubadour in L.A., there has never been another female singer to me that compares. It would be a life's dream to meet Linda, and play guitar along with one of her songs. Man, what an angel. And, although I agree with falcon, she has always been more than worthy of the R&R Hall of Fame. With all due respect to Madonna, or any other artist, female, or male.

Love is patient; it always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perseveres.

@minermike61 Agree

[Izzycuddles09]

@jothos1 i,m not that young . i,ve been through a lot heartache. i like her music.i was talking about love.

[jothos1]

@Izzycuddles09 I suspect that you're still young enough to know everything. When you grow up you'll gradually learn how little you know.

@alski888 I don't know exactly what you're saying. You love Linda, I love Linda and we agree that she is our favourite singer of all time. I'm not sure where travesty comes in. would you mind explaining. Best wishes.

@dday7777 Oops Typo That have not Been Inducted

[dday7777]

@3koger Linda was married to the Govenor of Cal Jerry Brown She may not be in the hall of fame. I understand the man that contols most of the inductees is the Ceo of the RnR hall of Fame, or whatever you call him. There have been people that have been inducted into the RnR hall of fame that have not got half the talent as some who have been. Its really a sham! Oh I mean shame.

Greatest female vocalist EVER

[alski888]

@jothos1 I think this falls under the category of travesty. In my opinion, she is the greatest female vocalist I've ever heard.

Nobody really takes the R&R hall of fame seriously do they? They have proven many times over that they don't go by talent or quality. Thats my take and it always has been.
