[Verse 1]
Randy, in your eyes I see the promise of a future
The promise of a love like I have never known
Randy, cradled in your arms I feel like I'm in heaven
And heaven knows I've needed someone like you for so long

[Chorus]
So, Randy, take me with you, for that's where I want to be
Teach me how to fly on these new wings you've given me
Randy, let me show you what your love has meant to me
Randy, let me be the only one you'll ever need

[Verse 2]
Randy, you have given me reason to live again
Reason to love again and reason to smile
Randy, you have given me new inspiration
New dreams to dream and a reason to try

[Chorus]
So, Randy, take me with you for that's where I want to be
Teach me how to fly on these new wings you've given me
Randy, let me show you what your love has meant to me
Randy, let me be the only one you'll ever need

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
