As night falls around us
Love's tender embrace
Replaces the sun's golden light
Then love shows us beauty
That only love can describe
Love, you're so beautiful tonight

As you fill our hearts with tenderness and emotions inside
Lost in each other with the world closed outside
Oh this must be like heaven
Well, it's heaven to you and I
And love, you're so beautiful tonight

Your nearness in the silence
Your rapid heartbeat
Your face touching mine
Then you whisper on my cheek
I'll love you 'til the stars in the heavens lose their light
Oh love, you're so beautiful tonight

As you fill our hearts with tenderness and emotions inside
Lost in each other with the world closed outside
Oh this must be like heaven
It's heaven to you and I
And love, you're so beautiful tonight

I'll love you 'til the stars in the heavens lose their light
And love, you're so beautiful tonight

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
