It's you that I run to whenever I need to
Darling, you console me
When trouble surrounds me
When bad times have found me
Just reach out your arms
And hold me, hold me, hold me
Darling, please take me in your arms of safety
Reach out your arms and hold me, hold me
When my feelings are showing
When my tears are flowing
Just reach out, reach out
And hold me, hold me, hold me

You know all of my needs
You fill them completely
You know that you control me
I depend on your loving
Without you I'm nothing
So reach out your arms
And hold me, hold me, hold me

Darling, please take me in your arms of safety
Reach out your arms
And hold me, hold me
When life is demanding
When I need understanding
Reach out, reach out
And hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me

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
