Sometimes I think of you and tears fill my eyes
To think of the meaning you've given my life
You've touched me in places no one ever reached
You've given me reason and cause to believe

You are my rainbow, you've colored my life
And you are my sunshine, I'm warm in your light
You are my fountain that never runs dry
You're my inspiration, my reason to try

I'll love you 'til green grass turns lavender blue
And all the stars fall from heaven and vanish like dew
When horses and chariots chase down the wind
Well that's when I'll leave you, I'll love you 'til then

I'll love you 'til green grass turns lavender blue
And all the stars fall from heaven and vanish like dew
When horses and chariots chase down the wind
Well that's when I'll leave you, I'll love you 'til then

That's when I'll leave you, yes
I'll leave you then
I'll need you 'til then
I'll love you 'til then

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
