[Verse 1]
You may not know it
I don't always show it
But you're so important to me
So much that we've shared
You've always been there
I hope you always will be

[Chorus]
Cause you are something special, ooh-wee
Yes, you are something special to me

[Verse 2]
When I'm around you
The love that surrounds you
Brings comfort and warmth to my heart
A God-given treasure
You give me such pleasure
You are a true work of art

[Chorus]
Cause you are something special, ooh-wee
Yes, you are something special to me

[Verse 3]
You're the wind 'neath my wings
Like the song that they sing
But there's so many things that you are
An angel in my life
You are the sunlight
And you hung the moon and the stars
Yes, you're special
Turnaround

[Chorus]
Cause you are something special, ooh-wee
Yes, you are something special to me

[Outro]
You are something special
MM-MM, you're something special
You are something special

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
