There is a place where the sun's always glowing
Take me there, won't you take me there?
Meadows grow green near the streams gently flowing
Take me there, won't you take me there?

A city of riches beyond comprehension
Take me there, won't you take me there?
Streets of gold, gates of pearl, brilliant mansions
Take me there, won't you take me there?

Take me and show me this rare place you speak of
Take me there, won't you take me there?
To this land of plenty where there is complete love
Take me there, won't you take me there?

At the foot of the throne the kingdom rejoices
Take me there, won't you take me there?
Angels are singing His praise with their voices
Hallelujah, hallelujah take me there

Peace, joy and love linger on through the ages
Take me there, won't you take me there?
Lambs lay with lions and lions with babies
Take me there, won't you take me there?

Take me and show me this rare place you speak of
Take me there, won't you take me there?
To this land of plenty where there is complete love
Take me there, won't you take me there?

But there is a church where they teach all about it
Take me there, I will walk with you there
And there is a book, we must not be without it
Take me there, I will read with you there

And there is an altar where sins are forgiven
Take me there, yes I'll kneel with you there
We'll find there the God of Eternal Living
Take me there, He will take you there
He'll take you there, He'll take you there
He will take you there
There ain't no sorrow and no heartache there
There is no crying and no dying there
Won't you take me there?
Hallelujah won't you take me there?
Hallelujah won't you take me there?
Take me there, Hallelujah
Won't you take take me there?
Won't you take me there?
Hallelujah hallelujah won't you take me there?
Lord, I want to go home
Take me there

Dolly Parton

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
