Still Within the Sound of my Voice

Linda Ronstadt



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?

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 know

if it's wrong then I have no choice

but to love you until I no longer have the 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.
