I don't mind the winter rain when I'm hurting I can't stand the pain
F G7 C
Just as long as I can be close to Linda
F G7 C
I can't face the darkest day and know that it won't end that way
F G7 C
Just as long as I can be close to Linda
F G7 F C
For she is warm and she is real and oh how good she makes me feel
F G7 F G7
All my troubles disappear and I am strong and free from fear

When my Linda's near
F G7 C
The only thing that worries me is I know lots of guys would like to be
F G7 C
Standing here in place of me close to Linda
F G7 F C
For she is warm and she is real and oh how good she makes me feel
F G7 F G7
All my troubles disappear and I am strong and free from fear

When my Linda's near

F G7 C
The only place I want to be is close to Linda
