I heard the news today that Dolly died
I can’t believe I felt the way I feel
Of course it do, it’s Dolly; yes, I cried
A world without this Dolly can’t be real
She sang that she would always love me too
She sang the way that sunshine fills the day
I know she’d say: It’s just what I can do
But somehow more than songs, she found a way
A way to give and give and give some more
To children everywhere, to all, to me
Her life became the song we’d all adore
A song that knew the tune that life could be
When Dolly Parton gives the world a song
It’s best that everyone will sing along.
