Linda
Dreaming of Linda: A Melodic Tale of Unrequited Love
Lyrics
When I go to sleep
Expressing the start of a nightly routine.
I never count sheep
Instead of counting sheep to sleep, the person thinks about Linda.
I count all the charms about Linda
While trying to sleep, the person mentally lists Linda's admirable qualities or things associated with her.
And lately it seems
Recently, something has changed or intensified.
In all of my dreams
In every dream, the individual is intimately close to Linda.
I walk with my arms about Linda
Within dreams, the person imagines being physically close to Linda, holding her.
But what good does it do me for Linda
Reflecting on the pointlessness of the daydreams because Linda is unaware of the person's existence.
Doesn't know that I exist?
Feeling down because Linda doesn't recognize or acknowledge the person.
Can't help feeling gloomy
Experiencing a sense of sadness or melancholy.
Think of all the lovin' I've missed
Regretting missed opportunities for affection and connection with Linda.
We pass on the street
Encountering Linda in passing while out in public.
My heart skips a beat
Feeling a sudden excitement or emotional response upon seeing Linda.
I say to myself, "Hello, Linda"
Greeting Linda internally as they pass by.
If only she'd smile
Desiring a positive response or acknowledgment from Linda, such as a smile.
I'd stop for a while
Willing to pause and engage if Linda were to smile.
And then I would get to know Linda
Expressing the desire to know Linda better if given the chance.
But miracles still happen
Believing in the possibility of unlikely events or situations.
And when my lucky star begins to shine
Anticipating a fortunate turn in fate.
With one lucky break
Hoping that one fortunate event will lead to a relationship with Linda.
I'll make Linda mine
Expressing a desire to win Linda's affection or to have her as a romantic partner.
