The Night Dolly Parton Was Almost Mine

It was late after the show
I was in love
I couldn't go
I waited by the stage door for her
Security was tight
But somehow I knew it was my night
Our meeting was destined to occur

Then suddenly there she was
Flashbulbs flashing off her smile
Full-figured in a low-cut gown
Good God, she had style
Then it was me she smiled upon in that line
And I felt Dolly Parton was almost mine
I don't know how I had the strength to speak
But I said, "You were fine"
The night Dolly Parton was almost mine
She was my first love
In country music
My first and only one true love

Come on, Mark
She said, Mark
I guess she read my name from off my shirt
Come on, Mark
The bus is waitin'
We'll have a private concert
No one had to paint me a sign
I knew Dolly Parton was almost mine
I plugged in the new Yamaha
She brought the French white wine
The night Dolly Parton was almost mine
She was my first love
In country music
My first and only one true love

Oh, I knew it had to end
I got off at Hickory Bend
Sometimes a man has got to live with being just a friend
Though I only kissed her cheek
It was sweeter than the wine
That night Dolly Parton was almost mine
We were close enough to touch
The memory makes me shine
The night Dolly Parton was almost mine
She was my first love
In country music
My first and only one true love
