Dolly Parton

[Verse 1]
Oh I know, I'm only dreaming
Cos I'll awake, and you'll be gone
And my tears will still be streaming
As my broken, heart beats on

[Verse 2]
Yes I know, I'm only dreaming
But I'll just, keep dreaming on
I will dream about the pleasures
That we shared in days gone by

[Verse 3]
And I'll remember and I'll treasure
Every kiss and your kind eyes
And I will dream that you still hold me
In your arms as you did then

[Verse 4]
And I recall each thing you told me
Hear your voice as I did then
Yes I know, I'm only dreaming
But I'll dream, and I will too

[Verse 5]
I'll be here, and I'll be waiting
And I will dream, of your return
Some will say I'm being foolish
While some will say that I'm just blind

[Verse 6]
And that I want to face what the truth is
That you are, no longer mine
But I will dream, your brave retaliation
To some sweet day, to their surprise
You will say your love's still burning
You'll dry each tear drop from my eyes

[Verse 7]
But I know, I'm only dreaming
Cause I'll awake and be alone
And my tears will still be streaming
And you will still be just as gone

[Outro]
Yes I know I'm only dreaming
But I must keep dreaming, on

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
