Lyrics
Linda, Linda, it’s such a lovely night,
The moon is shining bright.
I really thing you might come out.
Malinda, Linda, I always thought you knew,
Like a cooing dove wants his lady love,
I just want just you.
Chorus:
Ain’t you coming out Malinda?
Moon is peeping thru your window.
Want to see the stars begin to
Wink their eyes and start to shine
Honey mine, honey mine.
Next your heart I want to linger
Place a ring upon your finger.
I want you near, my dear, don’t fear, I’m here.
Ain’t you coming out Malinda
By the honeysuckle vine?
Verse 2:
Linda, Linda, remember long ago,
The lights were burning low,
Your eyes were all aglow you know,
Malinda, Linda, the kiss I gave you then
Came around tonight, really thought you might,
Give it back again.
