Dolly's Loving Legacy
From the dirt-floor cabin
up in the hills
To the glowing stages and the velvet bills
She kept her pockets open
and her spirit high
Sowing seeds of hope under a wider sky (humm) She gave a
million books
to a million dreams
Stitched up the broken seams of life it seems A coat of
many colors, a heart of pure gold
The warmest story that was ever told
Rest easy, sweet angel of the stage
You wrote the finest lines
on every page
Your love-filled life
has set the captives free
A legacy of grace
for all to see (sweet angel)
For every child
who learned to read a line
Because you chose to let your great light shine
From the amusement park
to the mountain peak
You were the voice for those who couldn't speak
Rest easy,
sweet angel of the stage
You wrote the finest lines
on every page
Your love-filled life
has set the captives free
A legacy of grace
for all to see (oh-oh-oh)
No mountain was too high
for your kind stride
No river was too deep
with you as guide
You lived it loud and colored every space And left behind a
world of warmer grace (hallelujah)
Rest easy,
sweet angel of the stage
You wrote the finest lines
on every page
Your love-filled life
has set the captives free
A legacy of grace
for all to see
(rest easy)
Rest easy
now... (rest easy) Your work here
is beautifully done
