[Verse 1]
Now and then here and there I still see you
Sometimes my mem'ry lets me hear your voice so soft and low
But like the wind you travel in you seem to come and go

[Chorus]
At times my mind is crystal clear and then I think of you
Then the spin of the room I'm in brings you into view
Love that once held my mind completely in control
Now makes it spin like tornado winds as it comes and goes

[Verse 2]
Well look who's here I told myself that you'd be coming soon
I hope that you can stay for a little while I'm so lonesome in this room
And you look just the same today do you still love me so
What's that you say you can't stay you seem to come and go

[Chorus]
At times my mind is crystal clear and then I think of you
Then the spin of the room I'm in brings you into view
Love that once held my mind completely in control
Now makes it spin like tornado winds as it comes and goes

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
