if Dolly can die
then angels can fly
and if Dolly can leave
then so can the sky
some things are forever
like rhinestones
on dancers
in June
like a burning porch light
in Tennessee
and Dolly's
singing a tune
if Dolly can die
oh, I'm gonna cry
if Dolly can die
then what chance have I?
oh, I'm gonna cry
if Dolly can die
