Lyrics Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton

The Love You Gave

Sweet, sweet were the lips that kissed me

Warm, warm were the arms that held me

Sweet, sweet were the lips, yeah

Warm, warm were the arms

But so, so filled with the love you gave me

Wet, wet were the tears on my face

Long, long were the hours I cried them

Wet, wet were the tears, yeah

Long, long were the hours

But so, so filled with the love you gave me

My friends tried to tell me

That mis'ry would a-happen to me

But back in school I didn't believe

That misery and pain a-would-a ever get to me, oh

Since, since you've been gone, gone away

I cry, cry lonely teardrops night and day

Since, since you've been gone, yeah

I cry, I cry lonely teardrops

All so, so filled with the love you gave me

Sweet, sweet were the lips that kissed me

Warm, warm were the arms that held me...
