Sing a song, sweet music man
'Cause I won't be there to hold your hand like I used to
I'm through with you
You're a heck of a singer and a powerful man
But you surround yourself with people who demand
So little of you

You touched my soul with your beautiful song
You even had me singing along right with you
You said I need you
Then you changed the words and added harmony
Then you sang the song you had written for me
To someone new

Oh but nobody sings a love song quite like you do
Oh and nobody else can make me sing along
Nobody else can make me feel things are right
When I know they're wrong
Nobody sings a love song quite like you

Sing your song, sweet music man
Travel the world with a six-piece band
That does for you what you tell 'em to
And you try to stay young, but the songs are sung
To so many people who've all begun
To come back on you

Sing your song, sad music man
Making' your living doing one-night stands
They're through with you
They don't need you
You're still a heck of a singer, but a broken man
But you'll keep on looking for one last fan to sing to

Oh and nobody sings a love song quite like you do
Oh and nobody else can make me sing along
And nobody else can make me feel things are right
When they're wrong with a song
Nobody sings a love song quite like you

Sing your song, sweet music man
I believe in 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
