Lovely At Your Side
“Did lovers really fall in love to stay? Stand beside each other come what may? Was a promise really something people kept, not just something they would say? Did families really bow their heads to pray? Did daddies really never go away? Whoa oh Grandpa, tell me ‘bout the good ole days.”— Grandpa, The Judds
“Islands in the stream/That is what we are/No one in-between/How can we be wrong/Sail away with me to another world/And we rely on each other, ah-ah/From one lover to another, ah-ah” —Dolly Parton

What is a home without a baby?
To love and to tease and adore?
What is home without a sweet wife?
To kiss you each night at the door?
What is a home without sunshine?
To spread its bright rays from above?
You can have wealth and its pleasures
But what is a home without love?
-What is a Home Without Love, The Louvin Brothers
If you’ll be my Louisiana
I’ll be your Mississippi
You’ll be my Little Loretta
I’ll be your Conway Twitty
You’ll be my sugar, baby
I’ll be your sweet iced tea
You’ll be my honeysuckle
I’ll be your honey bee
Miniature country albums for your southern dollhouse.
“You left me for the bright lights of the town
A country boy set out to see the world
Remember when those neon lights shine down
That big old moon shines on your Kentucky girl.”
—Kentucky Girl
I’ve been singing this ALL day. Love it. It’s my “if I ever become a country singer, I’ll croon to this on stage” song.
WOW, that’s Dolly Parton! Doesn’t she look so, so different?
