Oh Dolly Lyrics

There′s a story stitched in many colors
Born in a cabin on a mountainside
A little girl with nothing but a voice and a vision
Who turned her humble roots into worldwide pride
From the smoky mountain sunrise
To the lights of every stage
He proved a poor girl's dream can rise
And outshine every age
You turn the working grind of nine to five
Into an anthem that kept hope alive
And I′d hope for so many to look up to
Every little girl's dream to sing inspired by you

Oh, Dolly, the world shines brighter 'cause of you
You taught us how a simple truth can cut right through
From Jolene to every dream you dared pursue
You showed us what a woman′s voice can do
Oh, Dolly, the world shines brighter ′cause of you

You sang like a fearless little sparrow
Soft but strong enough to soar
Back with Barbie with a golden heart
Who opened every door
He built islands in the stream where strangers feel like friends
And wrote the kind of love songs that never really end
And when goodbye was the only thing left to say
You gave the world I will always love you to light the way

Oh, Dolly, the world shines brighter 'cause of you
You turned our broken pieces into something new
From here you come again to every stage you grew
You prove that kindness is a power too
Oh, Dolly, the world shines brighter ′cause of you

You built a dreamland in the mountains
Where every child can laugh and play
Dollywood, a kingdom carved from love
Where magic lights the way
And through it all, you held your family close
Your heart forever tied to home
With a love for your sweet husband
That stood the test of every road you've roamed

Oh, Dolly, the world shines brighter ′cause of you
For every child you lifted up, every dream you grew
Your legacy is love in everything you do
Light the world, keep shining through
Oh, Dolly, the world the world shines brighter 'cause of you
