Bargain Store

Dolly Parton Bargain Store Lyrics
1.The Bargain Store

Writer(s):Dolly Parton
Mixing:Dolly Parton

My life is like unto a bargain store
And I may have just what you're lookin' for
If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is used
But with a little mending it could be as good as new
Why you take for instance this old broken heart
If you will just replace the missing parts
You would be surprised to find how good it really is
Take it and you never will be sorry that you did

The bargain store is open come inside
You can easily afford the price
Love is all you need to purchase all the merchandise
And I will guarantee you'll be completely satisfied

Take these old used memories from the past
And these broken dreams and plans that didn't last
I'll trade them for a future, I can't use them anymore
I've wasted love but I still have some more

The bargain store is open come inside
You can easily afford the price
Love is all you need to purchase all the merchandise
And I can guarantee you'll be completely satisfied

My life is like unto a bargain store
And I may have just what you're lookin' for
If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is used
With a little mendin' it could be as good as new

The bargain store is open, come inside
The bargain store is open, come inside


2.Kentucky Gambler

Writer(s):Dolly Parton
Mixing:Dolly Parton

He wanted more from life
Than four kids and a wife
And a job in the dark Kentucky mines
A twenty-acre farm
With a shacky house and barn
That's all he had
And all he left behind
At gambling he was lucky
So he left Kentucky
Left behind his woman and his kids
Into the gay casino
In Nevada's town of Reno
Kentucky gambler planned to get rich quick

Kentucky gambler, who's gonna love your woman in Kentucky
Who's gonna be the one to give her what she needs
Kentucky gambler, who's gonna raise your children in Kentucky
Who's gonna keep them fed and keep shoes on their feet

At the gamblers' paradise
Lady luck was on his side
Kentucky gambler played his cards just right
He won at everything he played
Kentucky gambler had it made
And he should have quit and gone on home that night

But when you love the greenback dollar
Sorrow's always bound to follow
Reno dreams fade into neon amber
And lady luck, she'll lead you on
She'll stay awhile, and then she's gone
You'd better go on home Kentucky gambler

But a gambler never seems to stop
Til he loses all he's got
And so, Kentucky gambler, he played on
He played til he lost all he won
He was right back where he started from
Then he started wanting to go home

Kentucky gambler, there ain't nobody waiting in Kentucky
When you walked out, somebody else walked in
Kentucky gambler, looks like you ain't really very lucky
Seems to me a gambler looses much more than he wins

So you think about it
Kentucky gambler


3.When I'm Gone

Writer(s):Dolly Parton
Mixing:Dolly Parton

You say that you're bored with life and that you're bored with
me
Cause you say that this love of ours ain't what it ought to be
Now you despite this little house that we've always called home
I know that you don't love me now but you'll love me when I'm
gone
You'll love me when I'm gone and then you'll realize just what I
meant to you
You'll miss me when I'm gone and then you'll realize how good
I've been to you
You'll want me when I'm gone and then you'll realize you've
loved me all alone
Oh it's true you may not love me now but you'll love me when I'm
gone

We've grown too familiar with each other so you say
You say there's no excitement now too bad you feel that way
Well I wonder how exciting that your life will be alone
Oh I know that you don't love me now but you'll miss me when I'm
gone
You'll love me when I'm gone...


4.The Only Hand You'll Need To Hold

Writer(s):Dolly Parton
Mixing:Dolly Parton

When you need to be loved let me love you when you need a friend
reach out to me
When you need reassuring that it's alright anything you need
that's what I'll be
For I want to be the one you always come to when you find you
need a place to go
Let mine be the hand you always cling to
Mine will be the only hand you'll ever need to hold
Mine will be the only hand you'll ever need to hold
I can be the one that makes you happy I'll be your umbrella when
it rains
I will be someone that you can count on in other words I'll be
your everything
For I want to be the one...
I want to be the one...


5.On My Mind Again

Writer(s):Dolly Parton
Mixing:Dolly Parton

I try hard to forget you and the love I once shared with you
But my mind won't let forgetfulness come in
There's no use in pretending the hurt is just beginning
Just when I think it's ending you're on my mind again
On my mind again just like you've always been
On my mind with mem'ries I'm rememberin'
On my mind again just like you've always been
Yes I find I've got you on my mind again

Sometimes I go to places where certain things erases
All traces of your mem'ry now and then
Oh then something will remind me of the love I left behind me
Then again your mem'ry finds me and you're on my mind again
On my mind again...
Yes I find I've got you on my mind again on my mind again


6.I Want To Be What You Need

Writer(s):Dolly Parton
Mixing:Dolly Parton

Mhm when you're not strong and need someone to lean on
Let me be your strenght when you're weak
When you need somebody to comfort and love you let mine be the
arms that you
seek
I want to be what you need whatever it is come to me
You'll always know where I'll be cause I want to be what you
need
When life gets to be more than you can endure my hand is always
in reach
And I'm always waiting and I'm always willing to give you
whatever you need
I want to be what you need...
Yes I want to be what you need


7.Love To Remember

Your love's as fresh in my mem'ry as this morning's sunrise
And still just as beautiful to me
I can still feel the soft touch of love sweet and tender
You give me love to remember
Nights with no ending filled with love I'm remembering
Each night that I spent with you
I can still feel your soft touch I can still feel your warm love
You give me love to remember
And each morning when I wake up before I leave my pillow
I search through my dreams carefully
Just to make sure that I don't leave one tiny mem'ry
Cause I dream of the love I remember
Nights with no ending filled with love I'm remembering
Each night that I spent with you
I can still feel your warm love I can still feel your soft touch
For you give me love to remember love to remember


8.You'll Always Be Special To Me

Mhm to you I may never be more than a friend but you'll always
be special to me
To you I may never be closer than I am but you'll always be
special to me
Maybe I set my sights too high to be real
I may be wrong but love is strong and I can't hide how I feel
To you I may never be more closer than I am but you'll always be
special to me
Maybe I set my sights too high to be real
But love is strong I may be wrong and I can't hide how I feel
To you I may never be more closer than I am but you'll always be
special to me


9.He Would Know

Writer(s):Dolly Parton
Mixing:Dolly Parton

In my mind I've made love to you often but only in my mind can
it be so
Cause there's someone at home that's countin' on me
And if I did I'm sure that he would know
Yes he would know yes he could tell
For he has loved me long enough to know me very well
And if I lie he sees it in my eyes I know my guilt would show
and he would know
But I must admit you're someone very special and it would be so
easy to let go
Making love to you could be so easy but if I did I'm sure that
he would know
Yes he would know...
My conscience just won't let me make love to you
I know it would be sweet but I just can't
When I go home to him I must be able to look him in the eyes and
say I ain't
Cause he would know...


10.I'll Never Forget

Writer(s):Dolly Parton
Mixing:Dolly Parton

Sweeter than honey as soft as a sigh gentle as snowflakes but
warm as July
This is the way I remember your kiss if I live forever I'll
never forget
Misty as morning as blue as the sky reflections of heaven in
your loving eyes
Eyes that said more than your words ever did and if I live
forever I'll never
forget
If I live forever I'll never forget it's you that I wanted to
share my life with
Do I still love you the answer is yes if I live forever I'll
never forget
Two loving arms that I felt welcome in arms that I'd run to
again and again
How do you erase sweet mem'ries you miss if I live forever I'll
never forget
Sad circumstances that stood between us wouldn't let us share a
precious sweet
love
Do you remember do you feel like this if I live forever I'll
never forget
If I live forever...
Do you remember do you feel like this if I live forever I'll
never forget
