I don't mind the winter rain when I'm hurting I can't stand the pain Just as long as I can be close to Linda I can't face the darkest day and know that it won't end that way Just as long as I can be close to Linda For she is warm and she is real and oh how good she makes me feel All my troubles disappear and I am strong and free from fear When my Linda's near The only thing that worries me is I know lots of guys would like to be Standing here in place of me close to Linda For she is warm and she is real and oh how good she makes me feel All my troubles disappear and I am strong and free from fear When my Linda's near So I've just got to make her know no matter where I go she too must go The only place I want to be is close to Linda Is close to Linda is close to Linda
