When I was a child
Whenever I'd fall
Skinning my elbows and knees
Mommy or daddy would kiss away tears
Kiss all the places I need

Scraped, scratched to broken
A kiss was a token
That mended and cured every part

Then I grew up and fell in love
Fell so hard that it broke my heart
And now, there you are

To kiss it and make it all better
Kiss me and heal all this hurt
Kiss me all over, and over all over
Cause that's where it hurts the worst

Damsel in distress in a red satin dress
A knight with his armor askew
Two broken hearts and all other parts
Left in lost love's residue

Came in for a drink, so I wouldn't think
To erase every thought from my head
But on second thought, I thought we ought
To see each other safely abed

Kiss it and make it all better
Kiss me and heal all this hurt
Kiss me all over, and over all over
Cause that's where it hurts the worst

I need a shoulder to cry on, to lean on
Two loving arms to hold me
Tender words said to make me forget
And two lips to kiss me to sleep

So kiss it and make it all better
Kiss me and heal all this hurt
Kiss me all over, and over all over
Cause that's where it hurts the worst

Kiss me tonight and make it all right
Just kiss it and make it all better

Kiss it and make it all better
Kiss me and heal all this hurt
Kiss me all over, and over all over
Cause that's where it hurts the worst

Cause that's where it hurts the worst
Kiss it, make it better
Kiss it, make it better

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
