Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
What will I do with you gone?

Sitting in my lonely room just staring at the wall
For lack of something else to do, I count the tears that fall
Trying to get it through my head you don't care at all
What am I gonna do with you gone?

What does life hold for me anymore?
With you gone what once mattered don't matter no more
You still have the key to my heart and my door
What am I gonna do with you gone, with you gone?

I can hear the lonesome whistle of a passing train
I can feel my heart beat rhythm with the pouring rain
Realizing that my life won't ever be the same
What am I gonna do with you gone?

Will I ever be happy again?
With you gone, my whole world has just come to an end
Will I ever forget you? When will I forget?
What am I gonna do with you gone, with you gone?

With you gone, what does life hold for me anymore?
With you gone, what once mattered don't matter no more
And you still have the key to my heart and my door
What am I gonna do with you gone, with you gone?

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
What will I do with you gone?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
What will I do with you gone?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
What will I do with you gone?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
What will do I with you gone?

Dolly Parton

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
