Familiar sounds tell me it's morning
The night has been so dark and long
Each night without you just gets longer
While this torch I still carry just burns stronger

I know I never will stop loving you
My tears just can't put out the flame
Or drown my hopes of your returning
Because baby, the fire's still burning

Wherever you are I hope you're happy
Although your love for me has died
But if you ever need or want me
I'll take you back any time

I know I never will stop loving you
My tears just can't put out this flame
Or drown my hopes of your returning
'Cause baby, the fire's still burning
Yes baby, the fire's still burning

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
