[Verse 1]
I've been around for you
Been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief
You've got me stealing your love away
Cause you never give it
Peeling the years away
And we can't relive it
I make you laugh and you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

[Chorus]
Time for me to fly
I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
That's how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly

[Verse 2]
You said we'd work it out
You said that you had no doubt
I thought we were really in love
Oh but I'm tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe I've had enough
I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of this jealousy and intoleration
I wonder why I even try
I believe it's time for me to fly

[Chorus]
Time for me to fly
I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
That's how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly
Time for me to fly
I got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
That's just how it's got to be
I make you laugh and you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly
Time for me to fly
That's how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly

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
