[Verse 1]
Though the sun may be dawning
You're the one that lights the morning
As I awake to the heaven
Of your sweet summer loving

[Verse 2]
By a stream in the country
Running barefoot and feeling free
While the love in our hearts blend
Into sweet summer loving

[Chorus]
Sweet summer loving
In the dandelions
Sweet summer loving
Keeps me high as candy wine

[Verse 3]
When that big red balloon sets
Like a painting across the West
As the sky turns a crimson blue
As the world turns for me and you

[Verse 4]
By the light of the moon glow
While the warm summer wind blows
'Cross the sill of your window
We'll be letting our love flow

[Chorus]
Sweet summer loving
In the dandelions
Sweet summer loving
Keeps me high as candy wine
Sweet summer loving
In the dandelions
Sweet summer loving
Keeps me high as candy wine

[Outro]
Sweet summer loving
Sweet summer loving
Mmm
Sweet summer loving
Mmm
Sweet summer loving
I love your sweet summer loving
Sweet summer loving
Sweet summer loving
Mmm
Sweet summer loving
Mmm
Sweet summer loving

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
