Imagine a world where no music was playing
Then think of a church with nobody praying
If you've ever looked up at a sky with no blue
Then you've seen a picture of me without you

Have you walked in a garden where nothing was growing?
Or stood by a river where nothing was flowing?
If you've seen a red rose unkissed by the dew
Then you've seen a picture of me without you

Can you picture heaven with no angels singing?
Or a quiet Sunday morning with no church bells ringing?
If you've watched as the heart of a child breaks in two
Then you've seen a picture of me without you
 

Chiseled In Stone​

You ran crying to the bedroom, I ran off to the bar
Another piece of heaven gone to hell
The words we spoke in anger just tore my world apart
And I sat there feeling sorry for myself
Then an old man sat down beside me and looked me in the eye
And he said, "Son, I know what you're going through
You ought to get down on your knees and thank your lucky stars
That you've got someone to go home to"
You don't know about lonely or how long nights can be
'Til you've lived through the story that's still living in me
You don't know about sadness 'til you face life alone
You don't know about lonely 'til it's chiseled in stone
So I brought these pretty flowers hoping you would understand
Sometimes a man is such a fool
Those golden words of wisdom from the heart of that old man
Showed me I ain't nothing without you
You don't know about lonely or how long nights can be
'Til you've lived through the story that old man just told me
And you don't know about sadness 'til you face life alone
You don't know about lonely 'til it's chiseled in stone
You don't know about lonely 'til it's chiseled in stone
 

Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
And don't criticize what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly aging
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand..

The times they are a'changing

 
Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
Then I knew the spark of love was still burning

I Will Always Love You- Whitney Houston
Most people never even heard of the song, until Whitney recorded it. Even Dolly Parton admitted Whitney's version was more famous. She said that Whitney was making her a ton of money, since she wrote the song.

Whitney Houston recorded a pop-ballad arrangement of the song for the 1992 film The Bodyguard. Houston's version peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for a then-record-breaking 14 weeks.[2] The single was certified diamond by the RIAA, making Houston's first diamond single, the third female artist who had both a diamond single and a diamond album,[3] and becoming the best-selling single by a woman in the U.S.[4][5][6][7] The song was an enormous success worldwide, going number one in 34 official singles charts. With over 25 million copies sold worldwide, it became the best-selling single of all time by a female solo artist.[8][9] It was also the world's best-selling single of 1992.
