PARTON, Dolly



You are


Sometimes I try to count the ways

And reasons that I love you

But I can never seem to count that far

I love you in a million ways

And for a million reasons

But more than this I love you as you are

More than this I love you just as you are


You are my inspiration

You are the song I sing

You are what makes me happy

You are my everything

You are my daily sunshine

You are my evening star

Everything I'd ever hoped to find

That's what you are

Everything I'll ever want for 'mine'

Is what you are


You are my thoughts when I'm awake

And my dreams when I'm asleep

You are the reason for my smile

You are the words I speak


Every role I play in life

You play the leading part

Everything I'll ever want or need

Is what you are

The only one I'll ever want for me

That's what you are


You are my inspiration

You are the song I sing

You are what makes me happy

You are my everything

You are my daily sunshine

You are my evening star

Everything I ever had in mind

Is what you are

The only one I'll ever want for 'mine'

That's what you are
