Lynda's favorite song, the one she used to close all of her TV Specials, was Always, by Irving Berlin. (Berlin had written the song for his wife and presented it her the day of their marriage.) The lyrics to that song are:
I'll be loving you Always
With a love that's true Always.
When the things you've planned
Need a helping hand,
I will understand Always.
Always.
Days may not be fair Always,
That's when I'll be there Always.
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But Always.
I'll be loving you, oh Always
With a love that's true Always.
When the things you've planned
Need a helping hand,
I will understand Always.
Always.
Days may not be fair Always,
That's when I'll be there Always.
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But Always.
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But Always.

Lynda has spoken publicly about her deep appreciation of Mrs. Quayle's kind generosity. (Mr. Altman and Mr. Clifford were ultimately found innocent in a very public BCCI scandal trial.)
