"Rebecca Lynn" is the title of a song co-written by Skip Ewing and Don Sampson. It was recorded by country music singer Bryan White on his late 1994 self-titled debut album, from which it was released as the fourth and final single. The song reached a peak of Number One on the "Billboard" country charts in early 1996, giving White his second Number One.

Content

"Rebecca Lynn" is a mid-tempo country ballad in which the narrator recalls a female named Rebecca Lynn, a "quiet girl with green eyes full of fire" with whom he fell in love in second grade. The first verse and chorus follow them through elementary school as they play together. In the second verse, they learn "what it really means to be in love" and eventually propose after the prom. By the third verse, the two have married and had a child together as well.

At Music Fest '96, White sang the song to Rebecca Lynn Rushing, a fan of his who was then six years old.
