Linda
russ morgan and his orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never count sheep
I count all the charms about Linda
And lately it seems
In all of my dreams
I walk with my arms about Linda
But what good does it do me for Linda
Doesn't know that I exist?
Think of all the lovin' I've missed
We pass on the street
My heart skips a beat
I say to myself, "Hello, Linda"
If only she'd smile
I'd stop for a while
And then I would get to know Linda
But miracles still happen
And when my lucky star begins to shine
With one lucky break
I'll make Linda mine
The lyrics to Russ Morgan and His Orchestra's "Linda" describe the deep infatuation and longing of the singer for a woman named Linda. The song speaks to the ways in which Linda occupies the singer's thoughts both during his waking and dream life. He admits to counting Linda's charms instead of counting sheep when he goes to sleep and even dreams of walking with her in his arms.
Despite his intense feelings for Linda, the singer laments the fact that she doesn't even know he exists. This knowledge causes him to feel "gloomy" and to think of all "the lovin'" he's missed out on because of their lack of connection. However, even though Linda doesn't know him, the singer still holds out hope for a possible future between them. He speaks of the possibility of a "lucky break" that would allow him to win her over and make her his.
The song captures the way that infatuation and longing can occupy the mind of the singer, even in moments where he's supposed to be resting. The lyrics make listeners empathize with the singer’s situation since everyone has experienced a crush at some point in their life. The song also speaks to the hope that one can hold onto in the face of unrequited love.

When I go to sleep
At night, when I try to sleep
I never count sheep
I don't count imaginary sheep to help me fall asleep
I count all the charms about Linda
Instead, I think about all the wonderful things about Linda
And lately it seems
Recently, this has happened more often
In all of my dreams
I dream about her a lot
I walk with my arms about Linda
In my dreams, I hold Linda closely
But what good does it do me for Linda
However, this doesn't really benefit me because Linda
Doesn't know that I exist?
Isn't aware of my existence
Can't help feeling gloomy
This makes me feel sad
Think of all the lovin' I've missed
I can't help but think about all the opportunities for love that have passed me by
We pass on the street
Sometimes, we cross paths on the street
My heart skips a beat
This makes my heart race with excitement
I say to myself, "Hello, Linda"
I quietly greet her in my own head
If only she'd smile
I wish that she would smile
I'd stop for a while
If she did smile, I would pause and talk to her
And then I would get to know Linda
This would help me to get to know Linda better
But miracles still happen
Sometimes, amazing things do occur
And when my lucky star begins to shine
If I get lucky
With one lucky break
If I catch a lucky break
I'll make Linda mine
I will have the chance to be with Linda
