Roy Orbinson created this masterpiece and Linda brought out all its beauty, making one feel poignant and hopeful. Linda's cover of this song can bring anyone to tears. Thank you, Linda!

Wow!!!! What a voice. No one can sing that song like Linda (which means pretty in Spanish). How did her parents know or imagine what their daughter would turn out to be. Thank you Linda and Roy for writing that beautiful song.

[anneamato]

Beautiful! And...sadly true....sometimes it takes losing what we do not realize we should have valued, until it is no longer available.

[alandeane]

"Blue Bayou"

I feel so bad I got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind
On Blue Bayou

Saving nickles saving dimes
Working til the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be

Gonna see my baby again
Gonna be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again
On Blue Bayou

Saving nickles saving dimes
Working til the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be

Oh that boy of mine
By my side
The silver moon
And the evening tide
Oh some sweet day
Gonna take away
This hurting inside
Well I'll never be blue
My dreams come true
On Blue Bayou....

The lyrics need to start a few seconds earlier. Those of us who do not know the words can't wait for the last second..

This is the story of a man who go abroad and earn money for her sweetheart come back to her life

[leethomas]

So she basically stole (or 'covered') a Roy Orbison song. Where are the props for him? His original version is still the best.
