Timeless Tennessee Spirit
(hummmmm) A mountain girl with a coat of many colors
Singing loud for the dreamers and the lovers
You showed us how to stand up high and strong
And turn the hardest nights into a song
Oh, your kindness is a steady guiding light (shining bright) Keeps us
warm through the longest winter night
Forever eighty, forever in my soul
Your music makes this broken spirit whole
With a heart of gold
and a voice of pure grace
Time will never hide your smiling face
Oh Dolly, you will live forever
From the Smoky Mountains to the world stage
Writing hope on every single page
Your laughter is a melody so sweet
Laying flowers right at our feet
Forever eighty, forever in my soul
Your music makes
this broken spirit whole
With a heart of gold
and a voice of pure grace
Time will never hide your smiling face
Oh Dolly, you will live forever
Forever eighty...
Forever in my heart
(oh, forever)
