Dolly Parton

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna miss you, I'm gonna miss you
You fought a good fight, may you rest in peace now
You've earned the right, you stood brave and tall
The ultimate price, we honor you now
For God and country, you gave it all
And although I'm proud of all that you stood for
My selfish heart just wants you home
Your family and friends are all so proud of you
But I can't accept the fact that you're gone

[Verse 2]
And I'm gonna miss you
When the golden sun sinks slowly o'er the crest of yonder hill
I'm gonna miss you
In the wee hours of the morning' when the world is calm and still
When I can see you, touch you, feel you, hear your heart beating true
Even though you're gone, my love lives on
And I, I'm gonna miss you

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you
Your touch, your smell, your kisses, and the comfort of your eyes
I'm gonna miss you
Your laughter, tears, your humor, and that crooked little smile
And I'm gonna miss the plans and dreams we had that never will come true
God wanted you, but I did too
And I, I'm gonna miss you
I'll miss you

[Verse 4]
And I'll see your face in every star
I'll be loving' you wherever you are
I'll miss you, god how I'll miss you
While others go on with their lives
And I see you in our child's eyes
I'll miss you, oh how I'll miss you
I'm gonna miss you, oh I will miss you
Oh how I'll miss you
I'm gonna miss you, forever miss you

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
