[Intro]
Mmm
We used to walk through fields of green
We used to sit by clear blue streams
We used to be so happy
Me and you

[Verse 1]
We used to do such silly things
We used to make love in the rain
We used to
Yes, we used to

[Pre-Chorus]
Then you went away
Leaving me with the memories we made
Memories of those sweet yesterdays
Spent with you
Spent with you

[Chorus]
And even though you're gone
I still think so often of you
And the things that we no longer do
Like we used to
Oh we used to

[Verse 2]
We used to be so much in love
We used to kiss and hold and touch
We used to find so many things to do
We used to laugh and plan and dream
We used to own the world it seemed
We used to
Yes we used to

[Pre-Chorus]
Then you went away
Leaving me with the memories we made
Memories of those sweet yesterdays
Spent with you
Spent with you

[Chorus]
And even though you're gone
I still think so often of you
And the things that we no longer do
Like we used to
Oh we used to

[Outro]
La, mmm
Ahh

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
