[Verse 1]
There's a place in my mind that's suspended in time
When we were happy in love
Days warm and sweet, and the night so complete
Then life was perfect for us
It was just you and I, only love in our eyes
Not a sign of a tear on our face
No sorrow, no pain, only sunshine, no rain
Before something else took its place

[Chorus]
Oh, I want to go back there
Back to the time there was no doubt you cared
Back to the time love was tender and fair
I want to go back there, I want to go back there

[Post-Chorus]
Doop-do-do-do, doop-do-do-do-do
I want to go back there
Doop-do-do-do, doop-do-do-do-do
I want to go back there

[Verse 2]
Do you think if we tried we could put life aside
And see if we might make it back
I know in my heart what we had at the start
I believe it could still be like that

[Chorus]
Oh, I want to go back there
Away from these heartaches, these worried and cares
Back to the time love was tender and fair
I want to go back there, I want to go back there

[Post-Chorus]
Doop-do-do-do, doop-do-do-do-do
I want to go back there
Doop-do-do-do, doop-do-do-do-do
I want to go back there
Doop-do-do-do, doop-do-do-do-do
I want to go back there
Doop-do-do-do, doop-do-do-do-do
I want to go back there

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
