Before I’m Over You.

Before I’m Over You.

Lyrics: The late staff songwriter for Sure-Fire Music, Betty Sue Perry, (1935-1974).
Vocals: The late American country singer/songwriter Loretta Lynn, (1932-2022).

Before I’m Over You.

I just can’t get it through my head,
You love another now instead,
Can’t make myself believe we’re really through.
I’m walkin’ up and down the hall,
Talkin’ to the silent wall,
I’ll lose my mind before I’m over you.
I think I’ve almost lost my mind,
I think about you all the time,
I’m goin’ crazy yes I know,
And I don’t have far to go.
The way you treat me is a shame,
But I’ll keep lovin’ you the same,

I’ll lose my mind before I’m over you.

I keep your letters I should burn,
I wear your ring I should return,
But there’s a million foolish things I do.
It makes me cry but you would laugh,
To know I kiss your photograph,
I’ll lose my mind before I’m over you.
I think I’ve almost lost my mind,
I think about you all the time,
I’m goin’ crazy yes I know,
And I don’t have far to go.
The way you treat me is a shame,
But I’ll keep lovin’ you the same,
I’ll lose my mind before I’m over you.

Irish Singer, Actress & TV Personality Linda Nolan Dead.

Aged just 65 years, the singer, actress and TV personality Linda Nolan, has sadly passed away after a 20-year battle with breast cancer, at Blackpool Victoria Hospital, surrounded by her 3 surviving sisters; Anne, Coleen and Maureen. [Linda’s sister Bernie, sadly died from breast cancer in 2013 last]
Her sad demise was brought about this mid-morning (Wednesday January15th), having succumbed to her a battle with double pneumonia.

Linda was first diagnosed with stage-three breast cancer in 2005 before getting the all-clear in 2006. However, in 2017 she was diagnosed with a form of incurable secondary cancer in her hip, which spread to her liver in 2020. In 2022 she shared the news that cancer had spread to her brain, with two tumours identified on the left side of her brain, leaving her struggling with both her speech and balance.

Linda rose to fame, alongside her 4 sisters as a member of the girl band “The Nolan Sisters”, latter the first Irish act (born in Dublin) to sell over a million records worldwide. Having toured the world and selling over 30 million records, Linda later pursued a career in stage musicals.
Beyond her incredible early career, Linda dedicated her later life to helping others; raising some £20 million for numerous deserving causes, including Breast Cancer Now, Irish Cancer Society and Samaritans, together with countless others charities.

“Her memory will live on forever in the many lives she touched and in the music she performed.”
