Life's Like Poetry
Dolly Parton · The Tour Collection [2008]
Life's like poetry and in my poem bay
Until now there's always been a missing line.
You know life's too short to hide all the thing you feel
And I find the morning after is the best time to determine if it's real
Baby finding you gave my whole world reason and rhyme
But life's like poetry and in my poem babe
Until now there's always been a missing line.
Life's too short to think about right or wrong
And the only thing I wonder bout is where you've been so long
Cause baby finding you gave my whole world reason and rhyme
And life's like poetry and in my poem babe
Until now there's always been a missing line.
Until now there's always been a missing line...
