I found out the hard way
And I'm never gonna break your heart
I know, too late
And I don't want to break your heart
Guess I had to go away just to find
What I left behind

You're the only one, you're the only one
Take me back to where we started from
And let's make it now like we made it then
This old heart ain't gonna break your heart again

Nights I lay in bed
And your covers wouldn't warm my feet
And morning found me
Bitter or a bit too sweet
Oh baby, I had to go away
Just to run back and say

You're the only one, you're the only one
Take me back to where we started from
Can we make it now like we made it then?
This old heart ain't gonna break your heart again

You're the only one, darling
They'll never be anyone else but you
I love you so much
You are my love, you've become my life
And I never meant to break your heart
But sometimes you've just got to go away
To find what you left behind

You're the only one, you're the only one
Take me back to where we started from
Can we make it now like we made it then?
This old heart ain't gonna break your heart again

You're the only one
You're the only one
You're the only one
You're the only one
The only one
Take me back to where we started from
You're the only one
The only one
You're the only one
You're the only one
The only one

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
