Dolly Parton

I've been down on my luck
I've been shadowed with trouble and sorrow
But I aim not giving up
Because I know there is always tomorrow
There are no guarantees
Life is always a hit or miss
But I truly believe
I won't always be feeling like this
I'm going to shine like the sun
When these clouds roll away from my door
When it's all said and done
I won't be at your mercy no more
I will prove my own worth
Heal the damage and hurt that's been done
And when the cryings all done
Well, I'm going to shine like the sun
I've been thinking here lately
What all I can do to improve
Though I've suffered greatly
I know just what I have to do
I have to move forward
Cut losses, break loose and move on
And I have to swim shore ward
Lest I should drown out here alone
I'm going to shine like the sun
When these clouds roll away from my door
I won't crawl I can run
I'll be at no ones mercy no more
I'll be swinging on sunbeams
So proud that I finally won
And when the losings all done
Well, I'm going to shine like the sun
I'm going to shine, I'm going to shine
I'm going to shine like the sun
When these clouds roll away from my door
And when it's all said and done
I won't be at your mercy no more
I'll be off chasing rainbows
Rejoicing and having my fun
And when the crying's all done
Well, I'm going to shine like the sun
When the crying's all done
When the trying's all done
When the lying's all done
There'll be nothing' but sun
When it's all said and done
Well, I'm going to shine like the sun
Shine like the sun, shine like the sun

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
