[Verse 1]
It's funny how love goes
Because I know this could never work out
But honey, how love grows
Even though there's no reason to doubt
This can never be
You keep saying it's wrong
Neither one of us is free
Still I want to hold on

[Chorus]
When even a fool would let go
Because he knows that there's no use trying
Even a child would say no
When he knows that he'll end up crying
Tell me now, is it wise holding you
When even a fool would let go?

[Verse 2]
Love has no reason
Like the words in a song that don't rhyme
My love has no season
I just know that it's there all the time
Baby, just you and me
I can't believe that it's wrong
Thinking about you and me
Just makes me want to hold on

[Chorus]
When even a fool would let go
Because he knows that there's no use in trying
Even a child would say no
When he knows that he'll end up crying
Tell me now, is it wise holding you
When even a fool would let go?

[Outro]
Tell me now, is it wise holding you
When even a fool would let go?

Dolly Parton

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
