Engraved in my mind there are pictures
Memories of a love I knew one time
So often in my thoughts I stand looking
At the memories hanging on the wall of my mind

I see a memory of raindrops falling in the park on the day we met
Walking with each other through the rain
Laughing talking as we both got soakin' wet
The memory made that day I could never put away
That's the day he told me he'd be mine
And that's just one of the memories
He left hanging on the wall of my mind

And I have a memory of springtime
Cherry blossoms and birds singing all the while
And the secret place we'd hide and laid together side by side
And the love that shined so brightly in his eyes
Springtime I recall was the sweetest time of all
That's the season our hearts became entwined
And that's just one of the memories
He left hanging on the wall of my mind

Through the spring and summer he loved me
Then his love died with autumn leaves
His love was the wild and restless kind

When he left, he left with me so many memories
He left them hanging on the wall of my mind, on my mind
Mmmm hanging on the wall of my mind, on my mind
He left them hanging on my mind

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
