The final song on Dolly Parton’s Great Balls of Fire album takes its melody from the traditional song “Greensleeves”. The song was written for Parton’s longtime friend and manager Sandy Gallin.
Sometimes I think of you and tears fill my eyes
To think of the meaning you've given my life
You've touched me in places no one ever reached
You've given me reason and cause to believe
You are my rainbow, you've colored my life
And you are my sunshine, I'm warm in your light
You are my fountain that never runs dry
You're my inspiration, my reason to try
I'll love you 'til green grass turns lavender blue
And all the stars fall from heaven and vanish like dew
When horses and chariots chase down the wind
Well that's when I'll leave you, I'll love you 'til then
I'll love you 'til green grass turns lavender blue
And all the stars fall from heaven and vanish like dew
When horses and chariots chase down the wind
Well that's when I'll leave you, I'll love you 'til then
That's when I'll leave you, yes
I'll leave you then
I'll need you 'til then
I'll love you 'til then
