JOLENE

(Dolly Parton) « © '73 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare with flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep and there's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name Jolene
And I can easily understand how could you easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me Jolene

Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene...

You could have your choice of men but I could never love again
He's the only one for me Jolene
I had to have this talk with you my happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do Jolene

Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene Jolene (Jolene)

WHEN SOMEONE WANTS TO LEAVE

(Dolly Parton) « © '73 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
When you love somebody with all your heart and soul
You want to keep them with you but you know they want to go
What do you do what do you say
When you know they want to leave as bad as you want them to stay

And there's nothing quite as sad as a one sided love
When one doesn't care at all and the other cares too much
It's a sad situation I must say
When someone wants to leave as bad as you want them to stay
[ dobro ] You know how much I love you but I know you don't love me
And I know it's just a matter of time before you leave
But I do I stand aside and just let you walk away
But I know you want to leave as bad as I want you to stay

And there's nothing quite as sad as a one sided love
When one doesn't love at all and the other loves too much
It's a sad situation I must say
When someone wants to leave as bad as you want them to stay
Oh it's a sad situation I must say
When someone wants to leave as bad as you want them to stay

RIVER OF HAPPINESS

(Dolly Parton) « © '73 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Somewhere a river of happiness flows
We'll sit on its banks while the warm breezes blow
Somewhere there's a garden where only love grows
Somewhere a river of happiness flows

Dry your eyes don't cry no more
We'll find a place where there's laughter and joy
So take my hand and don't let go
Come with me and together we'll go

Somewhere a river of happiness flows...
[ ac.guitar ] We'll walk in the sunshine we'll laugh and we'll sing
And dance to the tune that our happiness brings
Come go with me to this place I speak of
Together we'll find it this place is called love

Somewhere a river of happiness flows...
Somewhere a river of happiness flows

EARLY MORNING BREEZE

(Dolly Parton) « © '71 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
I open up my door to greet the early morning sun
Closing it behind me and away I do run
To the meadow where the meadow lark is singing in the tree
In the meadow I go walking in the early morning breeze

I cup my hands to catch a multi-colored butterfly
Perched upon the petals of flowers growing wild
Freeing it I watch it as it flies away from me
To visit with the flowers in the early morning breeze

Rainbow colored flowers kissed with early morning sun
The aster and the dahlia and wild geraniums
Drops of morning dew still linger on the iris leaves
In the meadow where I'm walking in the early morning breeze
[ guitar ] Misty-eyed I look about the meadow where I stray
For its there I find the courage to greet the coming day
For there among the flowers I kneel gently to my knees
To have a word with God in the early mornig breeze

A rainbow colored meadow kissed with early morning sun...
Mhm mhm la la la da da dee la la la in the early morning breeze

HIGHLIGHT OF MY LIFE

(Dolly Parton) « © '73 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Darling you're the highlight of my life
You're the one that makes it all worthwhile
You're the one that taught me how to smile
Darling you're the highlight of my life

You're a part of every dream I dream
You're my love my life my everything
I'll never love another how could I
When darling you're the highlight of my life

Darling you're the highlight of my life...
[ steel ] You're the one I always think about
And you're the one I couldn't live without
And you have always been my guiding light
Darling you're the highlight of my life

Darling you're the highlight of my life...
Darling you're the highlight of my life

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU

(Dolly Parton) « © '73 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
If I should stay I would only be in your way
So I'll go but I know I'll think of you each step of the way
And I will always love you I will always love you

Bitter-sweet memories that's all I am taking with me
Goodbye please don't you cry we both know that I'm not what you need
But I will always love you I will always love you

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope that you have all that you've ever dreamed of
I wish you joy and happiness but above all of this I wish you love
And I will always love you I will always love you I will always love you

RANDY

(Dolly Parton) « © '73 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Randy in your eyes I see the promise of a future
The promise of love like I have never known
Randy cradled in your arms I feel like I'm in heaven
And heaven knows I needed someone like you for so long

So Randy take me with you for that's where I want to be
Teach me how to fly on these new wings you've given me
Randy let me show you what your love has meant to me
Randy let me be the only one you'll ever need

Randy you had given me reason to live again
Reason to love again and reason to smile
Randy you had given me new inspiration
New dreams to dream and the reason to try

So Randy take me with you...

LIVING ON MEMORIES OF YOU

(Dolly Parton) « © '73 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
My days are as dark as my nights and I see no sunshine in sight
Your mem'ry keeps blocking my view and I'm living on mem'ries of you

Can't eat when I'm hungry can't sleep when I'm tired
And all of these tears can't put out this far
Your mem'ry just won't turn me loose and I'm living on mem'ries of you

There's just no forgetting about you how long can I survive without you
I just can't believe that we're through and I'm living on mem'ries of you

Can't eat when I'm hungry I can't sleep when I'm tired
And all of these tears can't run off this far
Oh your mem'ry just won't turn me loose and I'm living on mem'ries of you
Yes I'm living on mem'ries of you

LONELY COMIN' DOWN

(Porter Wagoner) « © '71 Porter Music, BMI »
I woke up this morning in a strange place
I looked into the mirror at a strange face
Then I looked for you but you could not be found
Then I felt the lonely comin' down

I walked across our room to the empty bed
Saw the imprint on the pillow where you layed your head
The presence of you still lingered all around
Once again I felt the lonely comin' down

Then I felt the lonely dripping down my face
As I realized no one could take your place
I wondered where the love had gone that we had found
Then again I felt the lonely comin' down

I wondered where the love had gone...

IT MUST BE YOU

(Blaise Tosti) « © '73 Songyard Music, ASCAP »
Just like the tide goes with the sea
We belong together you and me
Just like the dawn followed by day
We'll always be together and that's just how it will stay

It must be you that's always walking in my dreams
It must be you who'll always be right next to me
So when you find yourself alone just think of me and I'll be there
Must be you by my side the whole way through
[ steel ] Just like the fresh white winter snow
Our love is pure and it will always grow
And when we're in those autumn years
Together we'll look back but we won't shed a single tear

It must be you that's always walking in my dreams...
When you find yourself alone...
