Dolly Parton Lyrics

Just Between You And Me (1968) - Dolly Parton (with Porter Wagoner)

Because One Of Us Was Wrong lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton

I'm sorry I was weak enough to step out on you

Well, I should have been strong enough not to step out on you too

I know that I'd hurt you and I stepped out for spite

Because one of us was wrong don't mean the other one was right

I'm not making excuses for myself I was wrong as I could be

But you shouldn't have cheapened yourself trying to get even with me

My conscience bothers me mine won't let me sleep at night

Because one of us was wrong don't mean the other one was right

Two wrongs don't make one right and now we both got heartaches

But if we both try we can forgive each other for our mistakes

We let no wonderful love slip through our hands we'd better hold on tight

Because one of us was wrong don't mean the other one was right

The Last Thing On My Mind lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton

(originally by Tom Paxton)

It's a lesson too late for the learning

Made of sand, made of sand

In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'

In your hand, in your hand

Are you going away

With no word of farewell

Will there be not a trace left behind

Oh, I could've loved you better

Didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind

As we walk along my thoughts are tumblin'

Round and round, round and round

Underneath our feet are someplace rumblin'

Underground, underground

Are you going away

With no word of farewell

Will there be not a trace left behind

Oh, I could've loved you better

Didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind

I've got reason a plenty for goin'

This I know, this I know

The weeds have been steadily growin'

Please don't go, please don't go

Are you going away

With no word of farewell

Will there be not a trace left behind

I could've loved you better

Didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind

Are you going away

With no word of farewell

Will there be not a trace left behind

Oh, I could've loved you better

Didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind

Love Is Worth Living lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton

I know what you're thinking when you look at me

The love in your eyes is so easy to see

It's real and it's good what I feel for you

Love is worth living when you love like we do

I understand when you're not feeling well

If there's something on your mind I always can tell

I'm there when you need me and you're there when I need you

Love is worth living when you love like we do

We found the happiness that very few do

You know that I want you and you know that I want you

Love is worth living when you love like we do

We found the happiness that very few do

You know that I want you and you know that I want you

Love is worth living when you love like we do

Just Between You And Me lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton

So I feel so blue sometimes I want to die

And so I've got a broken heart so what

They say that time will heal all wounds in mice and men

And I know that someday I'll forget and love again

But just between you and me I've got my doubts about it

Just between you and me you're too much to forget

So I've lost the only one I've ever loved

And so I've never felt so low so what

I'll just tell myself each time I want to cry

That someday time will dry the teardrops from my eyes

Just between you and me I'm not so sure about it

Just between you and me you're too much to forget

You're too much to forget

Mommie, Ain't That Daddy lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton

The snow was fallin' swiftly and it mounted on the street

Little footprints in the snow made by our children's feet

As I walked them to the good will store to get some clothes to wear

As we turned around the corner I saw you standing there

I tried to turn the children and walk the other way

I prayed they hadn't seen you then I heard the baby say

"Mommie, ain't that Daddy holding out his hand

Begging for money from that other man?"

They asked me "Ain't that Daddy?"

And "Yes" I had to say

And I wondered if I'd failed you

And made you turn this way

No, you didn't fail me, my weakness was just too strong

Because you see, I thought more of the bottle than our family and our home

No, you didn't fail me sweetheart, you loved me all you could

You had my babies and you loved me like no other woman ever would

You know I guess I'd be better off dead

Than in the awful ship I'm in

But death just don't seem to have a place for those that stay drunk on whiskey, wine and gin

You see I die a constant death over and over every day

If I could change, you know I'd do it for you, the babies and our home

But you might as well forget me for I'm just too forward gone

But I wish you would do me one last favor and do it just for me

When they ask you, "Momma ain't that Daddy?"

Just say "It used to be"

4-0-33 lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton

Well, the two new people that's moved to the middle of the block

And we're at the top of the town and don't you think we're not

Well, we found love and happiness people envy us you see

For we found heaven right here on earth at 4-0-33

Yes, we found what most people are looking for

And it's not a lotta money to spend on real fine car

But it's so when and where a bird flies and sings so free

And there's whole lotta winds in this little house at 4-0-33

Four thousandth block proves what true love can do

Once a lonely place but was sold to me and you

Oh, all around the house you can see little children play

But they're not as a people's kids were proud to say

They are the symbol of our love for all the world to see

They're a part of heaven right here on earth at 4-0-33

Our love's on the day you can see many people drive by

For look at the house they think there from the sky

They think this place would make them as happy as you and me

And the whole town's tryin' to buy our house at 4-0-33

Four thousandth block proves

And we're not gonna sale our happy little house at 4-0-33

Wouldn't take a pretty thing for the love we had at 4-0-33

Sorrow's Tearing Down The House lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton

I met you and we married we planned our future well

We built our home on happiness then suddenly it fell

It wasn't long there after our love began to tilt

Sorrow's tearing down the house that happiness once built

First came the weekly parties that never seemed to end

And then came the heartbreak brought by so-called friends

I guess that I'm as much to blame and while we share the guilt

Sorrow's tearing down the house that happiness once built

First came the weekly parties that never seemed to end

And then came the heartbreak brought by so-called friends

I guess that I'm as much to blame and while we share the guilt

Sorrow's tearing down the house that happiness once built

This Time Has Gotta Be Our Last Time lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton

Here we are again going in this cheap place

What if was seen by a friend and they recognize our face

We both know that it's wrong we both should be at home

This time has gotta be our last time

I know that you want me just as much as I want you

You've got a family and I've got one too

From now on we must stay apart we just can't break all their hearts

This time has gotta be our last time

We'll put our rings back on our hands

Your conscience hurt you well mine does too

I'm not this kind of woman and I'm not this kind of man

We just can't go on cheating neither of us is this kind

This time has gotta be our last time

Before I Met You lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton

I thought I had seen pretty girls in my time

But that was before I met you

I never saw one that I wanted for mine

But that was before I met you

I thought I was swinging the world by the tail

I thought I could never be blue

I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved

But that was before I met you

I thought I'd stay single always be free

But that was before I met you

I said that no sweet thang could ever hold me

But that was before I met you

I thought I was swinging the world by the tail

I thought I could never be blue

I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved

But that was before I met you

That was before I met you

Home Is Where The Hurt Is lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton

We're well known in every honky tonk in town

Not a night goes by that we don't make the rounds

People wonder why we choose to live this way

Why don't they ever stay at home I hear them say

But home is where the hurt is

Cause love doesn't live there anymore

Home is where the hurt is

That's why we don't stay at home much anymore

What was once our happy home has come to be

A place to fuss and fight and disagree

Our lonely house with wall to wall regret

And these bright lights somehow help us to forget

Cause home is where the hurt is

Cause love doesn't live there anymore

Home is where the hurt is

That's why we don't stay at home much anymore

Two Sides To Every Story lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton

Two sides to every story we didn't stay that out if we'll take time

Two sides to every story you tell yours and I tell mine

Well, where were you last night when I came home

When I came in you were out and gone

Well, I waited up till up to two then I went downtown to look for you

So how's about tellin' me where you were at

Well, me and the boys stopped off for a drink or two

(Now ain't you a pretty thing)

Well, we got to drinkin' and I guess that time just flew

Well, the time must've flown for you all right

'Cause I thought you're gonna stay out all night

And I told myself I ain't puttin' up to that

There's always two sides to every story we didn't stay that out if we'll take time

Two sides to every story you tell yours and I tell mine

You said you went downtown to look for me

Did you have to dress up fancy as could be

You know I never leave the house you know jacky clothes lookin' like slut

And I's downtown just to look in my best for you

Now I'm not accusin' you of doin' wrong

But that's awful late for you to be out and gone

Now look who's talkin' bout bein' late and I went about to sit and wait

Why you were at that when with no tellin' who

There's always two sides to every story we didn't stay that out if we'll take time

Two sides to every story you tell yours and I tell mine

There's always two sides to every story we didn't stay that out if we'll take time

Two sides to every story you tell yours and I tell mine

Put It Off Until Tomorrow lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton

Put it off until tomorrow

Wo-wo

You've hurt me enough today

You say our love is over

That you have found another

You say you're going away

But leave me tomorrow

Wo-wo

You've hurt me enough today

I can't believe the words you say

But I must accept the fact

You won't be coming back

Oh, stay

Stay just one more day

Loneliness isn't far away

Put it off until tomorrow

Wo-wo

You've hurt me enough today

Put it off until tomorrow

Wo-wo

You've hurt me enough today

Just Because I'm A Woman (1968)

You're Gonna Be Sorry lyrics - Dolly Parton

Some day you're gonna want me but I ain't gonna be around

Some day you'll find you miss the kiss that you're forever turnin' down

When you decide you want the love that once you could've had

Well that's gonna be to bad and you're gonna be sorry

You're gonna be sorry for all the dirty deals you've handed me

All the nights you stayed away you wished you'd spent with me

While you were busy makin' out, I was busy makin' plans for checkin' out

And when you find this out, you're gonna be sorry

You'll wake up cryin for me like I've done so many nights for you

You'll walk the floor and you'll call my name but I ain't gonna hear you

You'll curse the night and you'll hate yourself for ever doin' me wrong

But I'm gonna be long gone and you're gonna be sorry

You're gonna be sorry for all the dirty deals you've handed me

All the nights you've stayed away you wished you'd spent with me

While you were busy makin' out, I was busy makin' plans for checkin' out

And when you find I'm gone, you're gonna be sorry

You're gonna be sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry

I Wish I Felt This Way At Home lyrics - Dolly Parton

If I, could be with you forever

My restless heart

Would never want to roam

I've never been loved

The way you love me

I wish I felt this way at home

When you kiss me

It's words without speaking

And I don't believe that

God would call this wrong

Your arms are the refuge

I was seeking

I wish I felt this way at home

But I don't, and I won't

We did all that we could

He and I

We tried hard

But it's just no good

I may never be free

Cause I've no reason

And I don't expect you to wait that long

But I'll say one more time

As I'm leavin'

I wish I felt this way at home

Yes, I wish I felt this way at home

False Eyelashes lyrics - Dolly Parton

Folks back home think I'm a star now when they hear my records play

They say there home town girl made good and she'd go a long long way

Mom wonders why I don't drive back in that big fine car I own

The truth is I don't have a car and I'm ashamed to go back home

A pair of false eye lashes and a tube of cheap lipstick

A pair of worn out high heel shoes and a dress doesn't fit

These are all my possessions all I have to my name

And a record played in my home town is my only claim to fame

I'm so glad that dad can't see me now, his favorite little girl

Singing in this dingy place on the wrong side of the world

And I'm glad that I can't see the boy that offered me his name

For I was blind and turned from him in this empty search for fame

A pair of false eye lashes and a tube of cheap lipstick

A pair of worn out high heel shoes and a dress doesn't fit

These are all of my possessions, all I have to my name

And a record played in my home town is my only claim to fame

Yes a record played in my home town is my only claim to fame

I'll Oil Wells Love You lyrics - Dolly Parton

I met a man in Texas

And oh, he was so fine

And I said to myself

Self, I'm gonna make him mine

He owned a lot of oil wells and his bank roll sure was healthy

And I new if I married him I'd suddenly be wealthy

Oh I'll oil wells love you

I'll oil wells care

I'll oil wells need you

I want you oil wells dear

Well I never had no money

Not a penny to my name

And I said I'd find a rich man

And I'd love my way to fame

So he took mt in his arms

And I cuddled up real near

The money bug then bit me and I wispered in his ear

Oh, I'll oil wells love you

I'll oil wells care

I'll oil wells need you

I want you oil wells dear

He looked in to my eyes and thought he saw a love light shine

Nearly did he know that that light was dollar signs

Now that we are married there ain't nothin' left to tell

We'll live happily ever after because all is well that ends well

Oh, I'll oil wells love you

I'll oil wells care

I'll oil wells need you

I want you oil wells dear

The Only Way Out (Is To Walk Over Me) lyrics - Dolly Parton

The only way out

Is to walk over me

So you found someone else

And you're going to leave

Did she tell you

I don't love you?

Did you really believe?

On the floor, by the door

I'll be down on me knees

[Chorus:]

Cause the only way out

Is to walk over me

You don't hear and you don't feel

But i know you can see

And just to prove that i love you,

I'll crawl at your feet

Just look down, at the ground

Where your footprints will be

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]

You have put me

Just as low

As anyone ought to go

But i'll lay down beside

What's left of my pride

If you go, then you'll

Know, cause you can't help

But see that

The only way out is to walk

Over me

[Bridge]

Yes the only way out

Is to walk over me

Little Bit Slow To Catch On lyrics - Dolly Parton

I'm a little bit slow to catch on

But when I do, I'm caught on

A little bit slow to move on

But your baby is a' movin' on, on

Your baby is a' movin' on

Well, I couldn't see the light for the brightness

Of the sweet little smile you gave me

I couldn't see how you were cheatin' on me

But finally I'm a catchin' on, on

Finally, I'm a' catchin' on

I'm a little bit slow to catch on

But when I do, I'm caught on

A little bit slow to move on

But your baby is a' movin' on, on

Your baby is a' movin' on

I couldn't see the hurt for the happy

And at first that's the way you made me

It took me a while to get your style

But finally I'm a' catchin' on, on

Finally I'm a' catchin' on

I'm a little bit slow to catch on

But when I do, I'm caught on

A little bit slow to move on

But your baby is a' movin' on, on

Your baby is a' movin' on

You say you can't see the light for the darkness

That surrounds you since I'm gone

You can't eat or sleep 'cause you're lonely

Well, finally you're catchin' on, on

Finally you're a' catchin' on

I'm a little bit slow to catch on

But when I do, I'm caught on

A little bit slow to move on

But your baby is a' movin' on, on

Your baby is a' movin' on

I'm a little bit slow to catch on

But when I do, I'm a caught on

A little bit slow to move on

But your baby is a' movin' on, on

Your baby is a' movin' on

The Bridge lyrics - Dolly Parton

The bridge, so high

The bridge, so tall

Here is where it started

On the bridge

The moon is big and yellow

And the stars are all a' glow

From the bridge, I see reflections

In the waters far below

You kissed me for the first time here

An' held me awfully tight

And the bridge became our favorite place

We came here often in the night

And one night while standing on the bridge

Desire swept through us both

Passion took us by the hand

And showed us where to go

From the bridge we saw a meadow

So we ran together there

Where we found love together

Our emotions filled the air

The bridge, so wide

The bridge, so long

Where once we stood together

Tonight I stand alone

Tonight, while standing on the bridge

My heart is beating wild

To think that you could leave me here

With our unborn child

My feet are moving slowly

Closer to the edge

Here is where it started

And here is where I'll end it...

Love And Learn lyrics - Dolly Parton

That's the way love is, you have to love and learn

I've lost again

Why can't I win?

These tears that I cry

Make my eyes burn

Each new love I find

Turns out to be the wrong kind

And it looks like I'll

Just have to love and learn

Love and learn

Hurt and yearn

For someone who will

Love me in return

I'll be hurt many times

Before the right one, I find

But that's the way love is

You have to love and learn

Love and learn

Just hurt and yearn

For someone

Who will love me in return

I'll be hurt many times

Before the right one, I find

But that's the way love is

You have to love and learn

Yes, that's the way love is

You have to love and learn

I'm Running Out Of Love lyrics - Dolly Parton

I'm running out of love and I'm running out of patience

You seem to get worse every day

I'm running out of love, better learn to resist temptation

Or someday you'll wake up and I'll be far away

How long did you think you could keep on doing me wrong

How long did you think I'd stay quiet and take it

The love I had for you is almost gone

And I ain't gonna let you take my heart and break it

I'm running out of love and I'm running out of patience

You seem to get worse every day

I'm running out of love, better learn to resist temptation

Or someday you'll wake up and I'll be far away

You come and go just any time you want to

And you never bother to tell me where your going

And I wonder if there's anything you don't do

Someday you'll pay for the wild seed your sewing

I'm running out of love and I'm running out of patience

You seem to get worse every day

I'm running out of love, better learn to resist temptation

Or someday you'll wake up and I'll be far away

Just Because I'm A Woman lyrics - Dolly Parton

I can see you're disappointed

By the way you look at me

And I'm sorry that I'm not

The woman you thought I'd be

Yes, I've made my mistakes

But listen and understand

My mistakes are no worse than yours

Just because I'm a woman

So when you look at me

Don't feel sorry for yourself

Just think of all the shame

You might have brought somebody else

Just let me tell you this

Then we'll both know where we stand

My mistakes are no worse than yours

Just because I'm a woman

Now a man will take a good girl

And he'll ruin her reputation

But when he wants to marry

Well, that's a different situation

He'll just walk off and leave her

To do the best she can

While he looks for an angel

To wear his wedding band

Now I know that I'm no angel

If that's what you thought you'd found

I was just the victim of

A man that let me down

Yes, I've made my mistakes

But listen and understand

My mistakes are no worse than yours

Just because I'm a woman

No, my mistakes are no worse than yours

Just because I'm a woman

Baby Sister lyrics - Dolly Parton

Baby sister what a waste to see you in this place

I lose my mind from worrying over you

In a bar room filled with people all higher than a steeple

But I know why you do the things you do

And I curse the man that made you what you are today

I hope he dies a thousand times a thousand ways

Your eyes are filled with tears, sis lets get out of here

Cause I love you baby sister, lets go home

And I curse the man that made you what you are today

I hope he dies a thousand times a thousand ways

Your eyes are filled with tears, sis lets get out of here

Cause I love you baby sister, lets go home

Try Being Lonely lyrics - Dolly Parton

Suppose you wanted someone the way I want you

Just imagine your body, mind and soul breaking in two

Walk the floor each night, shed tears you can't conceal

Just try being lonely, then you'll know just how I feel

I saw you with your new love and oh it hurt me so

Funny how I see your face everywhere I go

You smiled and looked to be so happy as you passed by

So I hurried around the corner so you wouldn't see me cry

Suppose you wanted someone the way I want you

Just imagine your body, mind and soul breaking in too

Walk the floor each night, shed tears you can't conceal

Just try being lonely, then you know just how I feel

Dumb Blonde lyrics - Dolly Parton

Don't try to cry your way out of this

Don't try to lie or I'll catch you in it

Don't try to make me feel sorry for you

Just because I'm blonde

Don't think I'm dumb

Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool

When you left you thought I'd sit

An' you thought I'd wait

An' you thought I'd cry

You called me a dumb blonde

Ah, but somehow I lived through it

And you know if there's one thing this blonde has learned

Blondes have more fun

You flew too high up off the ground

It's stormy wheater an' had to come back down

But I've found new thread for my old spool

Just because I'm blonde

Don't think I'm dumb

Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool

When you left you thought I'd sit

An' you thought I'd wait

An' you thought I'd cry

You called me a dumb blonde

Ah, but somehow I lived through it

And you know if there's one thing this blonde has learned

Blondes have more fun

You flew too high up off the ground

It's stormy wheater an' had to come back down

But I've found new thread for my old spool

Just because I'm blonde

Don't think I'm dumb

Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool

Your Ole Handy Man lyrics - Dolly Parton

I have to mow the lawn

And I have to wash the car

And I'd just like to know

Just who you think you are

I'm gettin' tired of wagging

That old heavy garbage can

Your woman's gettin' tired

Of being your ole handy man

I have to run your water

And I have to wash your back

And I have to scrub the tub

After you have had your bath

You're as helpless as a baby

But I love you, understand

I'm just gettin' tired

Of being your ole handy man

Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man

Now I know you've got ten fingers

But where's your helpin' hand

I've just made a decision

I've stood all I'm gonna stand

Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man

I do everything for you

You never help yourself

An' I think I'd die from shock

If you raised a hand to help

Well, I'm not gonna keep it up

That's what you got planned

Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man

Now I know you got ten fingers

But where's that helpin' hand

I've just made a decision

I've stood all I'm gonna stand

Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man

I Don't Wanna Throw Rice lyrics - Dolly Parton

She married the one I love today

When my back was turned she took him away

Now while they're all outside, waiting to throw rice

What I want to throw will surely black her eyes

'Cause I don't want to throw rice

I want to throw rocks at her

She took the only love I had

No, I don't want to throw rice

I want to throw rocks at her

It would be a way to hurt her 'cause she hurt me so bad

Well I never stole nothin' in my life

But if I get the chance I'll steal him from his wife

'Cause all is fair in love and war, maybe I'm carryin' this too far

But I feel like tying dynamite to her side of the car

No I don't want to throw rice

I want to throw rocks at her

She took the only love I had

No, I don't want to throw rice

I want to throw rocks at her

It would be a way to hurt her 'cause she hurt me so bad

Put It Off Until Tomorrow lyrics - Dolly Parton

Put it off until tomorrow

Wo-wo

You've hurt me enough today

You say our love is over

That you have found another

You say you're going away

But leave me tomorrow

Wo-wo

You've hurt me enough today

I can't believe the words you say

But I must accept the fact

You won't be coming back

Oh stay

Stay just one more day

Loneliness isn't far away

Put it off until tomorrow

Wo-wo

You've hurt me enough today

Put it off until tomorrow

Wo-wo

You've hurt me enough today

I Wasted My Tears lyrics - Dolly Parton

I wasted my tears

When I cried over you

I wasted my tears

When I cried over you

I should've known

You would never be true

I loved and I lost you

Now I'm so blue

I wasted my tears

When I cried over you

You said that you loved me

And would always be true

Now you gone'n left me

Oh, what will I do

Oh, why did you leave me

For somebody new

I wasted my tears

When I cried over you

I wasted my time

When I spent it with you

But one is so blind

When love is so new

Now out of my fears have come true

I wasted my tears

When I cried over you

I wasted my tears

When I cried over you

Something Fishy lyrics - Dolly Parton

There must be something fishy going on

You said you were goin' on a fishin' trip with some old friend

You said that you'd be home tonight somewhere around ten

Well here it is, it's two o'clock and you're still not at home

I think there's something fishy goin' on

I think that I'm a sucker that's swallowing your line

I try to make myself believe that it's all in my mind

But you never asked me if I'd like to go along

So there must be something fishy goin' on

[Chorus:]

There's something fishy goin' on

On these fishin' trips you're goin' on

I'm gettin' tired of stayin' home alone

Some night when you come home and discover that I'm gone

You can bet there's something fishy goin' on

I guess some large-mouth bass left that lipstick on your shirt

I don't think you're a fisherman, honey

I think you're a flirt

Well if you're goin' fishin' then why don't you bring 'em home

I think there's something fishy goin' on

[Chorus]

Yes, you can bet there's something fishy goin' on

Fuel To The Flame lyrics - Dolly Parton

You kindle the fire of love inside me

Each time our lips meet

I'm not strong when we're alone

Your kisses make me weak

You must know how I feel

But do you feel the same

Everytime you kiss me

You add fuel to the flame

My eyes light up when I see you

I burn with desire

Each time you're near

You say you'll care

But still I'm not sure

But please don't ask me to love you

If you're not gonna change my name

Everytime you touch me

You add fuel to the flame

This fire you started inside me

Has reached my very soul

You're adding fuel to a flame

That's already burning out of control

When you give me your name

I give you everything

Everytime you kiss me

Adds fuel to the flame

Yes everytime you touch me

You add fuel to the flame

The Giving And The Taking lyrics - Dolly Parton

I keep on a' givin'

And I took all the takin'

I gave all my love to you

And I took all your hurt

I treated you so good

But you treated me like dirt

They say love is give and take

Now my poor heart is breakin'

I keep on a' givin'

And I took all the takin'

I always gave you everything

That I knew how to give I would for you

I treated you too good for my own good

Now I'm along and left forsaken

I keep on a' givin'

And took all the takin'

The giving and the takin'

Has caused my heart to break

I've given all that I can give

And I have taken all that I can take

The giving and the takin'

Has caused my heart to break

I've given all that I can give

And I have takin' all that I can take

I'm In No Condition lyrics - Dolly Parton

Don't look at me with love in your eyes

Go look at somebody that can make it worthwhile

I'm hurt from a love affair I didn't want in

I'm in no condition to try to love again

Don't smile at me because it's no use

'Cause I don't have a smile that I can give to you

Someday, you might look me up, but let me be till then

For I'm in no condition to try to love again

I'm in no condition to try to love again

Man I love just broke my heart

And it must have time to mend

He have me the breeze

Now he's gone with the wind

I'm in no condition to try to love again

Man I love just broke my heart

And it must have time to mend

He have me the breeze

Now he's gone with the wind

I'm in no condition to try to love again

No, I'm in no condition to try to love again

The Company You Keep lyrics - Dolly Parton

Yes, you're known by the company you keep

You say you're doin' nothing wrong

I don't believe you are

I'm only trying to help you sis

Before you go too far

Cause I think you're an angel

But folks think that you're cheap

Cause you're known by the company you keep

Please listen to your big sister

I feel I know what's best for you

I feel that I must warn you sis

That's the least that I could do

I'm not accusing you of anything

I know it's fun you see

But you're known by the company you keep

The company you keep keeps you out too long

Mom and dad don't go to sleep until you get home

Sis, you're gettin' in too deep

You'd better look before you leave

Cause you're known by the company you keep

Sis, you're gettin' in too deep

The road of life is steep

And you're known by the company you keep

I've Lived My Life lyrics - Dolly Parton

I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen

I left the country for the city

Thought I was smart but I was silly

I should've known I'd get in trouble being so green

I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen

I met a boy and learned to love him

I would have done anything for him

I loved him more than anything I've ever seen

I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen

Only eighteen but its all over

I ruined my life to please my lover

I made him happy, he made me cry

Then said goodbye

I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen

Only eighteen but its all over

I ruined my life to please my lover

I made him happy, he made me cry

Then said goodbye

I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen

The Little Things lyrics - Dolly Parton

You never send me flowers

Or ever buy me candy

You never bring me pretty things

When you come to see me

And you forgot my birthday

Oh I wish you could see

How I miss

The little things

That you don't do for me

You never say that I look nice

Or that you're proud of me

You overlook

The little things

That you should see

These little things are big enough to hurt

But too small to make me want to leave

But I do miss

The little things

That you don't do for me

Now how can I miss flowers

That never reach my door

How can I taste candy

That's still at the candy store

These little things mean a lot to me

To you they may be silly

But I do miss

The little things

That you don't do for me

Yes I miss

The little things

That you don't do for me

19th Amendment lyrics - Dolly Parton

(We want the vote)

August 18, 1920: Woman Suffrage Amendment Ratified

Women have been fighting for the legal right to vote since the 1840's. In 1890 the National American Woman Suffrage Association, NAWSA, was established with Susan B. Anthony its leading force. But women have been fighting for their rights since the very beginning of time

First they said we couldn't dance

Then said we couldn't drink

And unless some man allowed it

They said we couldn't think

They said we shouldn't speak 'til we were spoken to

Well, there was just so much back then We weren't allowed to do

But the first bite of that apple I guess revealed the truth

That's when Eve got smart

And that's why Adam don't like fruit

But that ol' tree of knowledge

Had some limbs that broke

We had to fight for women's rights

They said we couldn't vote

It is the duty of the women of this country to secure for themselves the sacred right to vote

We've carried signs, we've cussed at times

Marched up and down the streets

We had to fight for women's rights

Wore blisters on our feet

We got tired of seein' all our dreams go up in smoke

Burdens more than we could tote

Having lies crammed down our throats

But that ol' dam finally broke

When women finally got the right to vote

(We want the vote)

They said a woman's place

Was staying in her hut

Washin', cookin', cleanin'

Wipin' baby's butts

They said she'd never see the day

We'd equal up to them

But here we are, we've come so far

I guess we sure showed them

The first bite of that apple I guess revealed the truth

That's when Eve got smart

And that's why Adam don't like fruit

But that ol' tree of knowledge

Had some limbs that broke

We had to fight for women's right

They said we couldn't vote

(We want the vote)

We were defiant, I'll admit

But we all knew we couldn't quit

‘Cause the suffrage amendment must be passed

We protested, we cried out

Finally it came about

Ratified by Tennessee, we won at last

And the first bite of that apple

I guess revealed the truth

That's when Eve got smart

And that's why Adam don't like fruit

But that ol' tree of knowledge

Had some limbs that broke

We had to fight for women's rights

We won the right to vote

They thought we were a joke

They tried to dash our hopes

With every word they spoke

They tried to revoke

A woman's right to vote

But we made it!

And August 18, 1920: Woman Suffrage Amendment was ratified

(We want the vote)

5 To 9 lyrics - Dolly Parton

Well, I tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen

Pour myself a cup of ambition

Yawn, and stretch, and try to come to life

Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping

Out on the street, the traffic starts jumping

With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living

Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving

They just use your mind and they never give you credit

It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

Working 5 to 9, you've got passion and a vision

'Cause it's hustling time, only way to make a living

Gonna change your life, do something that gives it meaning

With a website that is worthy of your dreaming

Well, you got dreams and you know they matter

Be your own boss, climb your own ladder

That moment's getting closer by the day

And you're in the same boat with a lotta your friends

Launching ideas you all believe in

The tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way

Working 5 to 9, making something of your own now

And it feels so fine to build a business from your know-how

Gonna move ahead and there's nothing that you can't do

When you listen to that little voice inside you, yeah

5 to 9, you've got passion and a vision

'Cause it's hustling time, only way to make a living

Gonna change your life, do something that gives it meaning

With a website that is worthy of your dreaming

5 to 9, you keep working, working, working

Working 5 to 9, till your dreams come true

Working 5 to 9, you keep dreaming, dreaming, dreaming

5 to 9, 5 to 9, you can do it

A Smoky Mountain Christmas lyrics - Dolly Parton

I'm dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas

With the kids around the fireplace stringing popcorn for the tree

I'm dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas

With nothing much that money buys, but everything worthwhile in life

Dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas

"You can take the girl from the country" I have heard 'em say

But you'll never take the country from the girl

And me I've been a rambler for the better part of life

But no matter where I ramble in this world

I keep dreaming of a cabin in my Smoky Mountain home

Remembering my life there as a child

Just as free as the butterflies, the hummingbirds and streams

As different as the snowflakes on the windows of my life

And I'm dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas

With the kids around the fireplace making angels for the tree

I'm dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas

With nothing much that money buys but everything worth while in life

Dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas

Yes I'm dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas

With the kids around the fireplace stringing popcorn for the tree

I'm dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas

With nothing much that money buys, but everything worthwhile in life

Dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas

Yes, I'm dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas

About Susan, About Your Woman lyrics - Dolly Parton

I know you want to put the blame on me

You want me to be the one to leave

You'd think that I don't know about your plan

But I have always known about Susan

You don't want to tell me how it is

But you've already told me in your kiss

And I just want you to know I understand

And I have always known about Susan

I love you and I want you to be happy

Whether it be with or without me

And if Susan's the one that can love and make you happy

God bless her for loving you for me

You're free to go and you don't owe me nothin'

But in my heart, I know you understand

And I thank you for the time that you spent with me

But I have always known about Susan

I love you and I want you to be happy

Whether it be with or without me

And if Susan's the one that can love and make you happy

God bless her for loving you for me

I have always known about Susan

Almost Too Early For Christmas lyrics - Jimmy Fallon & Dolly Parton

It's almost too early for Christmas

Too soon to be singing this song

There's still Halloween decorations

And haters will say that it's wrong

Let's turn on the lights for Mariah

Tell Rudolph to shine up his nose

It's almost too early for Christmas

But why don't we see how it goes?

Why don't we see how it goes?

So jingle bells

And deck the halls

I'm coming home

I miss you all

I'm giving thanks

For Santa's sleigh

So grab your deer

And make it rain

Even in the autumn weather

We'll be wearing ugly sweaters

So string up the lights (string up the lights)

This time of night (this time of night)

We're having the time of lives (the time of our lives)

It's almost too early for Christmas

Too soon to be singing this song

There's still Halloween decorations

And haters will say that it's wrong

Let's turn on the lights for Mariah

Tell Rudolph to shine up his nose

It's almost too early for Christmas

But why don't we see how it goes?

Window displays all full of snow

Candy cane clouds are comin'

Go... put on your sugar coat

It's...

Almost too early for Christmas (almost too early)

Too soon to be singing this song (singing this song)

There's still Halloween decorations (too early)

And haters will say that it's wrong

Let's turn on the lights for Mariah

Tell Rudolph to shine up his nose

It's almost too early for Christmas

But why don't we see how it goes?

Even in the autumn weather

We'll be wearing ugly sweaters

Can't stop us now (can't stop us now)

It's all around

It's never too early for Christmas

Don't Make Me Have To Come Down There lyrics - Dolly Parton

Last night I had a dream about God

He was standing on a mountain top

Looking down, around in such dismay

And in my dream I heard him say

Don't make me have to come down there

My children, you had best beware

If you don't pay attention, consequences will be dire

Don't make me have to come down there

I've told you time and time again

You can't disobey and hope to win

I am still the boss here, in case there's any doubt

You know I put you in this world, and I can take you out

Don't make me have to come down there

You've always been my cross to bear

I've let you try my patience as all good fathers do

You're on my last nerve, I have had it up to here with you

I gave you a book, you didn't read it (You didn't read it)

I gave you my word, you didn't heed it (You didn't heed it)

Gave you a map, you said you didn't need it (You didn't need it)

And now you've lost direction, and you're wandering aimlessly

Don't make me have to come down there (Don't make me)

This is not a game of truth or dare (Don't make me)

Now, I don't want to punish you, but if it has to be

This is gonna hurt you more than it hurts me

Don't make me have to come down there

Bridge this great divide and make repairs

Go to your room and pray 'til you can learn to play fair

Don't make me have to come down there (Come down there)

Politics, earthquakes, erratic weather

Pandemics, war, and hate, still, you'd rather

Turn a deaf ear, a blind eye; I am wondering whether

I should take my Bible belt and whip you into shape

Don't make me have to come down there (Don't make me)

My children, you had best beware (Don't make me)

Clean up this mess and put on something decent to wear

Don't make me have to come down there

(Don't make me have to come down there)

Don't make me have to come down there

My children, you had best beware (Don't make me)

Why can't you learn to listen and learn to love and share?

Don't make me have to come down there

Don't make me come down there

Don't make me have to come down there

Don't make me, don't make me

Don't make me have to come down there

Don't make me come down there

Don't make me have to come down there

Don't make me, don't make me

Don't make me have to come down there

Faith lyrics - Galantis & Dolly Parton (feat. Mr. Probz)

Know the road gets hard

And you just wanna leave

I ain't ever too far

Just have a little faith in me

When all the fears you hide

Are all you can believe

Oh, I'll be standing by your side

Just have little faith in me

Have a little faith in me

Just have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me

Just have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in, in, in me, me

Just have a little faith in me, me

Have a little faith in, in, in me

Have a little faith in me, in me

Have a little faith in, in, in me

Have a little faith in me, me

When you don't know who you are

I will find you so easily (Oh)

Don't you worry, whenever you need me

Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in, in, in me (Faith in me)

Have a little faith in, in, in, in, in, in, in me

Just have a little faith (Just have a little faith in me)

Have a little

Have a little faith in me, in me

Have a little faith in, in, in me

Have a little faith in me, me

Let me shine and radiate

With your love and light, and help me make

Any change I can in this world today

Just show me the way

Have a little faith (Before we go way back)

Have a little faith (Show me the way)

Have a little faith

Girl Left Alone lyrics - Dolly Parton

There's no room for me

I'm a girl left alone

With fields all around me

I feel so alone

I could tell my story for whom it will urge

But I know I cannot sleep if there's no room for me

I'm a girl left alone

There's no hope for me

I'm tossed and thrown

Like a ship on the sea

There was a mistake and now I will sink

For those that still love me

I must go this way

I hear the great story

Of the great eternity

Where souls can be happy

And I will be free

I know I will suffer

In this world eternity

But in heaven I wonder

If there'll be room for me

God Only Knows (Team Timbo Remix) lyrics - for KING & COUNTRY & Dolly Parton

Wide awake while the world is sound asleep and

Too afraid of what might show up while you're dreamin'

Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you

Nobody, nobody will believe you

And every day you try to pick up all the pieces

All the memories, they somehow never leave ya

Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you

Nobody, nobody will believe you

God only knows what you've been through

God only knows what they say about you

God only knows how it's killing you

But there's a kind of love that God only knows

God only knows what you've been through

God only knows what they say about you

God only knows the real you

Cause there's a kind of love that God only knows

There's a kind of love that, there's a kind of love

You keep a cover over every single secret

So afraid if someone saw them they would leave

But somebody, somebody, somebody sees you

Somebody, somebody will never leave you

God only knows what you've been through

God only knows what they say about you

God only knows how it's killing you

But there's a kind of love that God only knows

God only knows what you've been through

God only knows what they say about you

God only knows the real you

Cause there's a kind of love that God only knows

There's a kind of love that, there's a kind of love

God only knows

There's a kind of love that, there's a kind of love

For the lonely

For the ashamed

The misunderstood and the ones to blame

What if we could start over

We could start over

For the lonely

For the ashamed

The misunderstood and the ones to blame

What if we could start over

We could start over

Cause there's a kinda love that God only knows

God only knows what you've been through

God only knows what they say about you

But God only knows the real you

Cause there's a kind of love that God only knows

God only knows what you've been through

God only knows what they say about you

But God only knows the real you

Cause there's a kind of love that God only knows

There's a kind of love that, there's a kind of love

God only knows

There's a kind of love that, there's a kind of love

God only knows where to find you

God only knows how to break through

God only know the real you

There's a kind of love that God only knows

Gonna Be You lyrics - Dolly Parton, Belinda Carlisle & Cyndi Lauper (feat. Gloria Estefan, Debbie Harry)

(from "80 For Brady" soundtrack)

I'm sticking with you

'Cause I know there's no one else

Who knows me better, holds me together

And everybody else could turn their back on me

But I know that you won't

When I'm feeling like I'm sinkin', sinkin', sinkin'

You're the lifeline that I'm needin', needin', needin'

And you're always there

So I always know

It's gonna be you

Who comes to my rescue anytime that I'm drowin'

Into the cold deep water, yeah, you're gonna dive in

You pull me through

Gonna be you

I'll be there for you

'Cause you're always there for me

Always got my back, I always know that

And everybody else could give up on me

But still, but still, you don't

You're my lifeboat when I'm sinking, sinking, sinking

You're my lifeline when I need it, need it, need it

Yeah, you're always there

So I always know

It's gonna be you

Who comes to my rescue anytime that I'm drowin'

Into the cold deep water, yeah, you're gonna dive in

You pull me through

Gonna be you

When I spin out

When I'm crashin' down

You're the one that pulls me back up again

If everybody

Turns their back on me

You won't

So I always know

It's gonna be you

Who comes to my rescue anytime that I'm drowin'

Yeah, into the cold deep water, yeah, you're gonna dive in

You pull me through

Gonna be you (You, you, you, you)

Gonna be you

It's gonna be you

Who comes to my rescue anytime that I'm drowin'

Into the cold deep water, yeah, you're gonna dive in

You pull me through

Gonna be you (Gonna be you, gonna be you, gonna be you)

Gonna be you

It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels lyrics - Dolly Parton

(originally by Kitty Wells)

As I sit here tonight the jukebox's playing

The tune about the wild side of life

As I listen to the words you are saying

It brings mem'ries when I was trusting wife

It was't God who made honky tonk angels

As you wrote in the words of your song

Too many times married men think they're still single

That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

It's a shame that all the blame is on us women

It's not true that only you men feel the same

From the start most every heart that's ever broken

Was because there always was a man to blame

It was't God who made honky tonk angels...

That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

Little Blossom lyrics - Dolly Parton

Oh dear I'm so tired and so lonesome

I wonder why mommy don't come

She told me to shut up my blue eyes

And before I woke up she'd be home

She said she was going to see Grandma

Who lives by the river so wide

And I guess my mommy fell in there

And perhaps she won't be home tonight

So I guess I'll go down and meet daddy

Perhaps he has stopped at the store

It's a great big store full of bottles

And I wish he wouldn't go there anymore

So out in the night with the baby

Her little heart beating with pride

'Til her tired feet entered the gin palace

With music all radiant with light

Oh daddy she cried as she reached him

I think that the music's so sweet

But it's almost suppertime daddy

Little blossom wants something to eat

A moment his blurred eyes gazed wildly

Down into her face sweet and fair

And as the demon possessed him

He grasped at the back of a chair

A moment a second was over

He lifted her fair golden head

A moment the baby's life trembled

Then poor little blossom was dead

Makin' Believe lyrics - Dolly Parton

(originally by Jimmy Work)

Making believe that you still love me

It's leaving me alone and so blue

I'll always dream, still I'll never own you

Making believe, its all I can do

Can't hold you close when you're not with me

You're somebody's love, you'll never be mine

Making believe that I'll spend my lifetime

Loving you and making believe

Making believe that I never lost you

But my happy hours are fun and so few

My plans for the future will never come true

Making believe what else can I do

Can't hold you close when you're not with me

You're somebody's love, you'll never be mine

Making believe that I'll spend my lifetime

Loving you and making believe

Mama He's Crazy lyrics - Lainey Wilson & Dolly Parton

(originally by The Judds)

Mama, I found someone

Like you said would come along

He's a sight and so unlike

Any man I've known

I was afraid to let him in

'Cause I'm not the trustin' kind

And now I'm convinced that he's heaven-sent

And must be out of his mind

Mama, he's crazy

Crazy over me

And in my life is where he says

He always wants to be

I've never been so loved

He beats all I've ever seen

And, Mama, he's crazy

He's crazy over me

And, Mama, you've always said

"You'd better look before you leap"

Well, maybe so, but here I go

Lettin' my heart lead me

He thinks I hung the moon and stars

And I think he's a livin' dream

Well, there are men, but ones like him

Are few and far between

Mama, he's crazy

Crazy over me

And in my life is where he says

He always wants to be

I've never been so loved

He beats all I've ever seen

And, Mama, he's crazy

He's crazy over me

Oh-oh-oh, Mama, he's crazy

He's crazy over me

Palms Of Victory lyrics - Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton & Linda Ronstadt

Then palms of victory, crowns of glory

Palms of victory I shall wear

I saw a wayward traveler in tattered garments clad

And struggling up the mountain, it seemed that he was sad

His back was heavy laden, his strength was almost gone

Ηe shouted as he journeyed, "Deliverance will come!"

The songsters in the arbor that stood beside the way

Attracted his attention, inviting his delay

His watchword being "Onward!" he stopped his ears and ran

Still shouting as he journeyed, "Deliverance will come!"

Then palms of victory, crowns of glory

Palms of victory I shall wear

I saw him in the evening, the sun was sinking low

He'd overtopped the mountain and reached the vale below

He saw that golden city, his ever lasting home

And shouted loud, "Hosanna! Deliverance will come!"

Then palms of victory, crowns of glory

Palms of victory I shall wear

Peace Like A River lyrics - Dionne Warwick & Dolly Parton

Peace like a river

Bathe me in your holy stream

In your soothing, living waters

Flood my soul and wash me clean

Point me in the right direction

Use me as you think you should

And may I be a great reflection

Of the things that's right and good

Mmm (peace like a river)

Peace like a river

Oh yeah (peace like a river)

He's the answer to our questions

To our prayers, to all things

He is forgiveness to all confessions

Provider of all needs

And he is hope (Yes, he is)

In desperation (Oh, yes)

Comfort to the soul and mind

Well, he's our God and our connection

To a land that transcends time

His hand (his hand)

Is ever-reaching (ever-reaching)

And his joy, beyond compare

Oh, his prayers are ever-teaching

And his burden, a light to bear

He is there and ever-willing

To lead us through the darkest night (Through the darkest night)

And his love is ever-giving

And his son, the guiding light (peace like a river)

Oh, peace like a river

Flowin' on (peace like a river)

Sweet peace (peace like a river)

Sweet peace

Wash me down, Lord

Oh, wash me clean, Lord, wash me clean (Wash me, Lord)

Baptize me in your living water

He's the answer (He is the answer)

To our questions (To our questions)

To our prayers and to all peace

He's the healer of imperfections

The provider of all needs

And He is hope (He is hope)

In desperation (Desperation)

Comfort to the soul and mind (Soul and mind)

He is peace (He's peace)

Like a river (Like a river)

He is yours (He's yours)

And he is mine (He's mine)

He's yours

He's mine

Peace like a river

Please lyrics - Rhonda Vincent & Dolly Parton

(originally by Elton John)

We've been crippled in love, short changed, hung out to dry

We've chalked on the walls a slogan or two about life

Stood dazed in the doorway, the king and queen of clowns

We've been flipped like a coin, both of us landing face-down

So please, please

Let me grow old with you

After everything we've been through, what's left to prove

So please, please, please, oh, please

Let me grow old with you

We've been living with sorrow, been up, down and all around

We've buried our feelings a little too deep in the ground

Stood dazed in the doorway, the king and queen of clowns

(We've been flipped like a coin, both of us landing face-down)

So, please, please

Let me grow old with you

After everything we've been through, what's left to prove

So, please, please, please, oh, please

Let me grow old with you

But tied to the same track, the two of us look back

At oncoming trains ahead

How many more times can we lay on the line

Watching our love hang by a thread

(So please, please

Let me grow old with you)

After everything we've been through, (what's left to prove)

So please (please), please (please), please, oh, please

Let me grow old with you

Oh, please

Let me grow old with you

Puppy Love lyrics - Dolly Parton

Puppy love, puppy love

They all call it puppy love

I'm old enough now to kiss and hug

And I like it, it's puppy love

Pullin' my pig tails makes me mad

When you kiss me, makes me glad

You turn to leave and make me sad

Still you're the sweetest sweetheart I've ever had

Puppy love, puppy love

They all call it puppy love

I'm old enough now to kiss and hug

And I like it, it's puppy love

Puppy love, puppy love

They all call it puppy love

I'm old enough now to kiss and hug

And I like it, it's puppy love

Sometimes you won't even carry my books

The next time you'll see me you'll rag on my looks

You're meaner to me than a mean ole crook

And I must confess I'm really hooked

Puppy love, puppy love

They all call it puppy love

I'm old enough now to kiss and hug

And I like it, it's puppy love

Rocky Top lyrics - Dolly Parton

Well, I wish that I was on old Rocky Top

Down in the Tennessee hills

Cause there ain't no smog, no smoke on Rocky Top

Ain't no telephone bill

Now but once I had me a man on Rocky Top

Half bear the other half cat

Well, he was wild as a mink

But he was sweet as soda-pop

And I often think about that

Oh Rocky Top, you'll always be

Home-sweet-home to me

Good ol' Rocky Top

Rocky Top, Tennessee

Now once two strangers climbed ol' Rocky Top

Lookin' for a moonshine still

Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top

And some say they never will

Did you know corn don't grow at all on Rocky Top?

The dirt's too rocky by far

And that's why all the folks on Rocky Top

Get their corn from a jar

Oh Rocky Top, you'll always be

Home-sweet-home to me

Good ol' Rocky Top

Rocky Top, Tennessee

Now I've had years of cramped-up city life

Trapped luck a duck in a pen

All I know is it's a dad-burn pitty

Life can't be simple again

Oh Rocky Top, you'll always be

Home-sweet-home to me

Good ol' Rocky Top

Rocky Top, Tennessee

Tennessee, Rocky Top

Sent From Above lyrics - Dolly Parton

It's you I go to

The one I talk to

'Cause you know how to

Restore my faith

I know you will be

Forever with me

I've been through hell

To find this heaven

I believe we'll last

Sent from above

I know you must

Be heaven-sent

And I love you ever so much

Sent from above

I know you must

Be heaven-sent

And I love you ever so much

Sent from above

Ooh-oh-ooh-oh, mm-mm-mm

And I soar on angel wings

It's heaven when we touch

And I will never give you up

Sent from above

I know you must

Be heaven-sent

And I love you ever so much

Sent from above

I know you must

Be heaven-sent

And I love you ever so much

Sent from above

Ooh-oh-ooh-oh, mm-mm-mm

From above, from above

Sent from above

From above, from above

Sent from above

Silent Night lyrics - Dolly Parton

Silent night, holy night

All is calm, all is bright

Round young virgin, mother and child

Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night

Shepherds quake at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah

Christ the Saviour is born, Christ the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night

Son of God, love's pure light

Radiant beams from Thy holy face

With the dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus Lord at Thy birth, Jesus Lord at Thy birth

Silent night...

Something Bigger Than Me lyrics - Dolly Parton

(from "Annabelle's Wish" soundtrack)

Yesterday I laid in my bed

Made up my mind to stay there instead

Fighting the same old fight

That I always lose by night

Somehow, sometime mid-afternoon

As the sunshine lit up my room

Somethin' made me sigh

And get up for one more try

Something bigger than me, braver than me

Helps me to face the day

Helps me to find my way

And makes me believe

That I'll be okay

Somethin' greater than me, wiser than me

Shows me where I go wrong

Knows when I'm down too long

And gives me the hope

I need to be strong

Something I can't explain

Soothes me like summer rain

Listens when I complain

Even in my dreams

Somethin' bigger than me, kinder than me

Loves me the way I am

And in some wondrous plan

Helps me to be the best that I can

Something I never doubt

Knows what I'm all about

Says it will all work out

Even in my dreams

Something bigger than me, that's what I see

Each time a chance comes by

Or somebody new says "Hi"

Or I start to laugh when I thought I'd cry

When miracles happen, I always know why

What could it be

But somethin' bigger than me?

The Last Word In Lonesome Is Me lyrics - Dolly Parton (feat. Alison Krauss)

(originally by Roger Miller)

The last word in lonesome is me

My heart is as lonely as a heart can be lonely

The last word in lonesome is me

Too bad what's happened to our good love

Sometimes our best isn't quite good enough

And the last word in lonesome is me

The last word in lonesome is me

My heart is as lonely as a heart can be lonely

The last word in lonesome is me

Life is a desert and love quenches thirst

We all have to hurt sometimes, this is my first time

And the last word in lonesome is me

The last word in lonesome is me

My heart is as lonely as a heart can be lonely

The last word in lonesome, well it's me

And Roger, we will always love you...

Two Little Orphans lyrics - Dolly Parton

Two little children a boy and a girl

Sat by and old church door

The little girls feet were as brown as the curl

That fell on the dress that she wore

The little boys clothes were all tattered and torn

They shone beneath his blue eyes

Why don't you go home to your mommy I said

And this was the maidens reply

Mommy's is heaven angels took her away

Left Jim and I all alone

We've no one to love us daddy is dead

And our darling mother is gone

Mommy got sick angels took her away

To dwell in those matins so bright

She said she would come for her children someday

And I guess she's coming tonight

The sexton came early to ring the church bell

And found them beneath the snow white

The angels made room for the orphans to dwell

Up in heaven with their mommy that night

We Irish lyrics - Dolly Parton

We Irish love to sing

We Irish love to dance

We Irish love to party

Whener' we get the chance

We have a lot of troubles

But we have a lot of soul

We'll drink a pint of Guinness

And forget about our woes

Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best

We love our myths and stories

We love a mournful song

We love our joyful music

And a good old sing-a-long

We love our pennywhistle

Uilleann pipes and air bodhrán

We Irish love our football

Our heroes and our homes

We Irish love to sing

We Irish love to dance

We Irish love to party

Whener' we get the chance

We have a lot of troubles

But we have a lot of soul

We'll drink a pint of Guinness

And forget about our woes

Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best

We Irish love St. Patty

We love to celebrate

And nothing suits us better than

An all-out green parade

Green beer and hats and jackets

Green dresses, shirts and ties

And nothing could be brighter

Than the light in Irish eyes

We got a pub on every corner

And a church to worship in

We party hard then pray the Lord

Forgive us of our sins

We rid ourselves of grief and guilt

Relieve our troubled hearts

I know God loves the Irish

And accepts us as we are

We Irish love to sing

We Irish love to dance

We Irish love to party

Whener' we get the chance

We have a lot of troubles

But we have a lot of soul

We'll drink a pint of Guinness

And forget about our woes

Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best

We Irish love to sing

We Irish love to dance

We Irish love to party

Whener' we get the chance

We have a lot of troubles

But we have a lot of soul

We'll drink a pint of Guinness

And forget about our woes

Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best

When Life Is Good Again lyrics - Dolly Parton

When life is good again

I'll be a better friend

A bigger person when

Life is good again

More thoughtful than I've been

I'll be so different then

Mama lyrics - Dolly Parton

Mama, the one that wipes the noses and the tears
Mama, the one who keeps the peace and calms the fears
She irons and washes clothes
She cooks, she cleans, she sews
She's good about resolving family drama
A friend, our guiding light
She's daddy's loving wife
A constant in our lives
Mama

The one that never sleeps 'til all's in bed
The one that never eats 'til all are fed
Her never-ending love,
Her gentle, caring touch
She never asked for much
Mama

Oh mama, the one that wipes the noses and the tears
Oh mama, the one who keeps the peace and calms the fears
She irons and washes clothes
She cooks, she cleans, she sews
An angel heaven knows
Mama

Mama you will always be
The very core and heart of me
And even though you're gone
I see your love in everything

When I look in my children's eyes
It makes me think and realize
What you've done to enrich my life
I hope I can do the same

Oh mama, the one who wipes the noses and the tears
Oh mama, the one who keeps the peace and calms the fears
She irons and washes clothes
She cooks, she cleans, she sews
An angel heaven knows
Mama
A friend, our guiding light
She's daddy's loving wife
A constant in our lives
Mama

An angel in our lives
Sweet mama
Oh mama
Mmm-hmm
I love you, mama
