He left me love enough to last a lifetime
A lifetime filled with loving memories
And so I have no reason to search for new love
Time could never take his love from me

And my mind is filled with memories sweet and tender
My heart is filled with love he left for me
And each thought of him just makes the love grow sweeter
He left me love to last eternally

I just close my eyes and I still see him
And in dreams he loves me just like he used to do
Even wakes me with a tender kiss every morning
A kiss that lingers on my lips the whole day through

And my mind is filled with memories sweet and tender
My heart is filled with love he left for me
And each thought of him just makes the love grow sweeter
He left me love to last eternally
Oh yes he left me love

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
