Please Don't Stop Loving Me

Dolly Parton - Porter Wagoner

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

Please please don't stop loving me
For I couldn't live with you gone
Please please don't stop loving me
For I couldn't make it alone

You bring me the sunshine when none is in sight
And when I'm in darkness you bring me the light
You opened my eyes when I couldn't see
So please oh please don't stop loving me

You're my inspiration my purpose in life
When things go all wrong you make them all right
I would be useless if you ever leave
So please oh please don't stop loving me

Please please don't stop loving me...
Please please don't stop loving me

The Fire That Keeps You Warm

Dolly Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

Let me walk in the sunshine of your smile
Let me hide in the shadows of your eyes
Let me lie in the safety of your arms
Let me be the fire that keeps you warm
I'll keep your warm

Let me be the someone that you need
Let me be the shelter that you seek
Let me be your strenght when you are weak
And let me be the fire that keeps you warm

Let me walk in the sunshine of your smile...

Let me be the one always around
Let me help you up when you are down
Let me make a smile out of a frown
And let me be the fire that keeps you warm

Let me walk in the sunshine of your smile...

Too Far Gone

Dolly Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

We never have a kind word for each other angry words are all we speak
The home where we once lived and loved now echoes with the angry words we speak
Too selfish and too proud to admit it when we know that we are wrong
Now it's too late to rebuild the home we're tearing down it's too far gone

Two people just existing always talking never listening
Too busy pointin' out each other's fault to see our own
Because we didn't try our love just slowly died
Too late to be revived it's too far gone
(Too far gone too far gone too far gone)

We're too busy thinking of ourselves to think about each other's needs
We seldom have a moment for each other we share little that we need
We can't get along even long enough to try to change what's wrong
Now it's too late for you and me zhere's nothing we can do we're too far gone

Two people just existing always talking never listening...

We'd Have To Be Crazy

Dolly Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

Crazy crazy we'd have to be crazy
To put up with the crazy things we do
Crazy crazy we'd have to be crazy
But you know I'm crazy about you

Either I'm crazy or you are one or maybe it's me and you
For we'd have to be crazy to live like this and go through what we go through
Well our love's so strong but we can't get along there's never a minute of peace
If I ain't a querrellin' and a fussin' at you you're a querrellin' and a fussin' at me

Crazy crazy we'd have to be crazy...

Well we must love to live like this in our subconscious minds
How can you love somebody so much and despite 'em at the very same time
I guess our fightin's the only excitement we have in our life
Would you think all people could live like this we couldn't be too bright

Crazy crazy we'd have to be crazy...

The Power Of Love

Porter Wagoner

© Porter Music, BMI

Oh the power of love can make you leap tall buildings
Love can make you cry like a little bitty child
Oh the power of love can make you sad and lonely
Or wanna kick up your heels and face the world with a smile

Love has the power of a giant with a touch like a feather
Love can make your sky turn blue when it's stormy weather
Love can make you feel so cold or burn a hole right through your soul
The most powerful thing in the world must be love

Oh the power of love can make you leap tall buildings...

Love can make your whole world shake like a large explosion
Or love can leave you quiet and still if it takes a notion
Love can take you way up high and make you jump thinkin' you can fly
It's a powerful powerful thing the power of love

Oh the power of love can make you leap tall buildings...
The most powerful thing in the world must be love

Sixteen Years

Porter Wagoner - Tom Pick

© Porter Music, BMI

In a pickup truck we bought in 1962
And paid each month till it belonged to me and you
The cardboard boxes in the back hold everything we own
Things we've saved for sixteen years to start a brand new home

We're hauling sixteen years of love in cardboard boxes
Sixteen years of laughter sweat and tears
We've stacked the back with happiness sadness love and cheer
Things we've saved together sixteen years

We sold our little dreamhouse on a small six acre farm
And said goodbye to friends we'll miss and fields of golden corn
In our search for city life where pay is big and jobs are fine
Sixteen years of love and tears following behind

We're hauling sixteen years of love in cardboard boxes...

Together You And I

Dolly Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

My love for you is deeper than the depth of any ocean
And as faithful as the stars that grace the night
As constant as the sun in its journey through the heavens
That's why we will always be together you and I

Together you and I can stop the rain and make the sun shine
Paint a pretty rainbow in the sky
Together you and I belong like a songbird and a song
That's why we will always be together you and I

Life with you is sweeter than the fragrance of the flowers
And as happy as the laughter of a child
As peaceful as a river as lasting as forever
That's why we will always be together you and I

Together you and I can stop the rain and make the sun shine...
Together you and I can stop the rain and make the sun shine...

Without You

Dolly Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

Without you
The days come and go they mean nothing to me
Nothing means nothing without you
My eyes overflow till all I can see
Is a future I can't face without you

Without you without you it's not like before
How can I face life without you
The days are as dark as the nights anymore
And I am so lonely without you without you

Too many things to remind me of you
How could I forget about you
Oh how can I make it now that I've lost you
For I am so lost without you

Without you without you it's not like before...

Two

Dolly Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

Two people too proud to say I'm sorry
Two hearts too broken to ever mend
Too many harsh words too often spoken
Too late to find love together again

To love and to cherish to honer and obey
Too many vows too hard to keep
Together we made them together we break them
Too late to start over the hurt is too deep

Two people too proud to say I'm sorry...

Two careless people too selfish and too blind
To see that tomorrow someone has to pay
And too many children that never should have to
Will pay for too many mistakes made today

Two people too proud to say I'm sorry...

Sounds Of Nature

Dolly Parton - Porter Wagoner

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

I can hear the rippling water falling gently
From the waterfall that I have found
From the meadow I hear meadowlarks a singing
Seems there's sounds of nature all around

I can hear the wind go whistling through the treetops
I hear raindrops falling softly to the ground
In the distance I can hear the roar of thunder
Seems there's sounds of nature all around

Sounds of nature fill the air with music
How I love and cherish every sound
I often kneel in prayer to thank the Master
For the sounds of nature all around

In a barren tree a lonesome dove is calling
For its mate that's nowhere to be found
In the garden I hear honeybees a humming

Sounds of nature fill the air with music...
Seems there's sounds of nature all around
