While Gayle is the younger sister of Loretta Lynn, her musical sound is very different from Lynn's. Gayle's career began as country music moved towards a more pop-oriented sound in the 1970s, as exemplified by such performers as Lynn Anderson and Barbara Mandrell. Gayle's music reflects the modern Nashville sound.

Crystal Gayle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I'll always come again
You know I like to spend my morning time
Like sunlight dancing on your skin
I've never gone so wrong as for telling lied to you
What you've seem is what I've been
And there is nothing I can hide from you
Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now til I can gain control again
Like a lighthouse you must stand alone
Landmark a sailor's journey's end
No matter what seas I've been sailing on
I'll always roll you way again
Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now til I can gain control again

I love Crystal. She was my earliest influence as a vocalist... She's beautiful, elegant and has a voice of velvet. Met her twice, and just as sweet and beautiful in person too.
@sweetlife031
+Desiree Vargas - I've met her also...She's a wonderful person!
@Spookythecaique
Yes, she is. I had the honor of working with some of her band members on a few music projects. All of them were so kind...
@stephenokwiri9215
I totally agree with you Desiree Vargas, count yourself lucky to have met her in person. I know I will never meet her but kindly let her know that her music inspired many Africans especially hear in Nairobi,Kenya. It is unfortunate she does not know
@theafricanphilosopherqueen3032

@ukmatchbox1-753
+Desiree Vargas - takes one to know one :)
@agnessmith9313
One of a kind...gorgeous, classy and true to herself. There aren't many of these women left in this morally corrupt world of entertainment.
