IN PRAISE OF DOLLY PARTON

IN PRAISE OF DOLLY PARTONI just love this song, Just When I Needed You Most, first performed by Randy Vanwarmer (and featured here on the Stuff Page some months ago). I stumbled on Dolly Parton’s gorgeously forlorn version this morning. Dolly Parton, singer-songwriter, actress, philanthropist, and businesswoman is one of the true greats, having transcended the extraordinary deprivation of her childhood, growing up one of twelve children, in a single-room shack in Tennessee, to becoming the best-selling female artist of all time. We adore Dolly here at The Vampire’s Wife. Love Susie. x

Just When I Needed You Most


You packed in the morning, I

Stared out the window and I

Struggled for something to say

You left in the rain without closing the door

I didn't stand in your way

Now, I miss you more than I

Missed you before and now

Where I'll find comfort, God knows

'Cause you left me just when I needed you most


Now, most every morning, I

Stare out the window and I

Think about where you might be

I've written you letters that I'd like to send

If you would just send one to me

'Cause I need you more than I

Needed before and now

Where I'll find comfort, God knows

'Cause you left me just when I needed you most

(You left me just when I needed you most)


You packed in the morning, I

Stared out the window and I

Struggled for something to say

You left in the rain without closing the door

I didn't stand in your way

Now, I love you more than I

Loved you before and now

Where I'll find comfort, God knows

'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
