  • (Dolly Parton)

    If there ever was an angel, then surely you must be one
    If there ever was a perfect love when I look at you I see one
    If there's heaven on earth, then this must surely be
    And I want you to be the last one to touch me
    The last thing I remember before I go to sleep
    Is the touch of your sweet lips softly kissing me
    And I go to sleep athinking how happy you make me
    And I want you to be the last one to touch me

    And when it's time to lay me down for my eternal sleep
    Once more let your fingers softly touch my cheek
    If I know that you have touched me, then I can sleep in peace
    And I want you to be the last one to touch me

    And when the night is over and time will be no more
    They say that we shall meet again upon the golden shore
    And so when I awaken from my eternal sleep
    I want you to be the first one to touch me
    I want you to be the first, the last, the only one to touch me
