Linda Ronstadt - Still Within The Sound of My Voice lyrics

Where have you gone my darling one

Are you on your own

Are you having fun

Is there someone to hold when you need it bad

Is it uncontrolled like the love we had

Does the day go by like a memory

Do you ever try to remember me

In an automobile or a crowded bar

Well I hope you're all right wherever you are

And if you're still within the sound of my voice

Over some radio

I just want you to know

You were always my only choice

And wherever you go

That I still love you so

If you're still within the sound of my voice

In the dead of night

Do you hear me call

Something's not quite right

No one's there at all

Did you make a mistake

Was it in your head

Or was it really me talking

To your heart instead

And if you're still within the sound of my voice

Watching this video

I just want you to know

That it always made me rejoice

Just to have you so near

There's a place for you here

If you're still within the sound of my voice

I am calling like the echo of a passing train that cries

One last time before it fades into the distant hills and dies

I am sending out a message like a ship out on the sea

In distress but only you can send a lifeline out to me

Are you still within the sound of my voice

Why don't you let me know

I just can't let you go

If it's wrong then I have no choice

But to love you until I no longer have a will

Are you still within the sound of my voice

I am calling like the echo of a passing train that cries

One last time before it fades into the distant hills

And dies
