[Verse 1]
If you've been wondering what I'm gonna do
While you are sleeping, am I sleeping too?
Well I'm just sitting here loving you
Close my eyes and loving you
I'm just sitting back, sitting here loving you

[Verse 2]
And I have been wondering just what I would do
If I weren't sleeping, had I not found you
Well I'd be outside finding you
I'd be walking on the avenue finding you
Well, I'm just sitting back, sitting here loving you

[Bridge]
Now the reason that you never see me running 'round
Fingers on my forehead couldn't calm me down
And he can't even get me up and on my feet
When I've got to take care of some business on the street

[Verse 3]
I have been walking all my streets alone
But I won't keep walking to keep from going home
I couldn't quite barely conceive of you
Now I can't conceive of ever leaving you
Aw, an' I'm just sitting back, sitting here loving you

[Verse 4]
If you've been wondering what I'm gonna do
While you are sleeping, am I sleeping too?
Well I just sitting here loving you
I just close my eyes and loving you
Aw, and I'm just sitting back, sitting here loving 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
