So often in my dreams
I hold you close against my skin
Waking up I wish that could
Sleep and dream again

Cause only when I sleep
Can I not hear how it's a sin
How cheaters never win
Their heartaches never end

"Torn Between Two Lovers" on the jukebox
And I'm thinking how I could've wrote that song
Wonderin' if God loves us
When we're cheatin'
But why he lets us feels things if it's wrong

I guess I should be singing "Rock of Ages"
"Amazing Grace", some of those good songs
Can't find it in my heart to ask forgiveness
Anything that feels this right can't be that wrong

Thou shalt not commit it
It's written in the tin
The spirit is always willing
But the flesh is weak again

And you're as close to heaven
As I might ever fly
An angel in disguise
A wrong that feels so right

And Torn Between Two Lovers just keeps playing
And I don't wanna be right if lovin' you is wrong
It goes against all I've ever stood for
Knowin' I have someone else at home

I guess I should be singing "Rock of Ages"
"Amazing Grace", some of those good songs
But my cheatin' heart can tell on me tomorrow
'Cause anything that feels this right can't be that wrong

To hell with heaven if it means I'll lose you
Anything that feels this right can't be that wrong
It just can't be

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
