Dolly Parton - Hard Candy Christmas Lyrics






Hey, maybe I'll dye my hair
Maybe I'll move somewhere
Maybe I'll get a car
Maybe I'll drive so far
They'll all lose track
Me, I'll bounce right back
Maybe I'll sleep real late
Maybe I'll lose some weight
Maybe I'll clear my junk
Maybe I'll just get drunk on apple wine
Me, I'll be just

Fine and Dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down

I'll be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down

Hey, maybe I'll learn to sew
Maybe I'll just lie low
Maybe I'll hit the bars
Maybe I'll count the stars until dawn
Me, I will go on

Maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll just leave town
Maybe I'll have some fun
Maybe I'll meet someone
And make him mine
Me, I'll be just

Fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down

I'll be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down

I'll be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down

'Cause I'll be fine
(I'll be fine)
Oh, I'll be fine

    Such a beautiful song! It always takes me back to my days living with Mom, and all the wonderful memories I have of our Christmases together, baking cookies, decorating her tree, shopping for gifts, and wrapping presents. So bittersweet, it always brings tears to my eyes.

    With both my parents looking down from the heavens above and not having a woman to share my love, of course I have my kids...just sometimes it's a little bit hard to keep moving forward but I'm still here. This song has been with me since I was a kid, but I'll be fine!

    R.... M....

    Hang in there--you have more than most people, believe it or not!

  29. N.... S....

    https://youtu.be/JNFee97tkqQ. These young girls used this song as a hard christmas and fed the homeless.

  30. h.... ....

    The best little whore house in Texas 1982.

    great song from a really fine movie

    W.... F....

  32. J.... B....

    I lost my grandmother on December 23,2007 every time I hear this song I cry

    I did everything in song except I didn't get drunk

    j.... W....

    https://youtu.be/JNFee97tkqQ

  34. L.... I....

    It's amazing when you realize she didn't even write this song.


    She's not only an amazing songwriter and musician, but also such an amazing singer that she can make any song her own. It's what she and Whitney both had in common.

  35. S.... S....

    This was my grandmas (my memes) song and she has been gone since 2014 and I still cry when I hear it 💕

  36. E.... O....

    This song makes me so happy and so sad at the same time. I love it though. It makes me miss the old days, and better days with family. I love the way it makes me feel young and innocent again...if only for a moment. One of the best Christmas songs!!! 🌲❤️

    E.... O....

    I feel the same way. This is one of the roughest Christmases I've had in a while.

  37. K.... W....

    Listening to this in mid October 2019. Having one tough month. Thanks Dolly, I'll be fine.

    K.... W....

    Karen Walton wish you all the best. Merry Christmas 🎄

  38. S.... B....

    love this song so much, not just at Christmas 🎄 always, love you so much dolly your songs put so much joy into my life, Sue 🌹

  39. U.... S....

    My song right here. I have this cd

  40. E.... ....

    It’s not Christmas until songs like this play.

  41. B.... D....

    This song makes me feel blue for a bit. But it's so good.

  42. M.... S....

    always makes my tear up this one, I love I will always love you, but I think this is the best song of the film

  43. P.... S....

    Not usually my cup of tea- but this song has it! Been there!

  44. M.... O....

    I actually never heard this song until now and I find it very beautiful. Dolly might be in her 70's but she's still a thing of beauty. Merry Christmas 2018

  45. G.... S....

    Dolly is a class act. Love this one.

  46. A.... S....

    This song make me remember my daughter. There was a night I was in hospital was my fiances daughter and me and my daughter the doctors needed to get a EKG of my daughter heart and only thing to calm her down was my fiances daughter to sing this to her.

  47. L.... G....

    Love this song! Only Dolly can sing it!

  48. m.... r....

    beautiful💐

  49. B.... G....

    Dolly’s voice from heaven, she sings from heart. She is very gifted women, beautiful songs and amazing presentation. Thank you, Dolly!!!
    I first heard this song probably in 1986, didn’t understand any English back then, still listening to this song and love it even more.

  50. �.... ....

    Best song ever😃😺 but sad😯

  51. C.... M....

    Even though it’s not Christmas time ryt now, the words of this song is exactly how I feel at the moment while going through my divorce 😪

    C.... M....

    I understand I am going thru I right now in November 2019,

  52. H.... B....

    I gre up listening to Dolly Parton. This past Saturday, my husband, who I have been with since I was 13, told me wants a divorce. Heartbroken doesn't even begin to cover it. Thank you Ms. Dolly, for helping me get through this.

  53. D.... R....

    Jamie you kick it you kick it excellent you got me all the way behind you ...

  54. P.... ....

    Her beautiful voice touches my soul like no other can.

  55. t.... J....

  62. T.... A....

    My dad used to have this on a CD, a Christmas one. We just loved listening to it, it was our bonding around the holidays. He lost the CD, but I have this playlist and this is the first song.

  63. B.... H....

    God bless Dolly. Merry Christmas to all of you!!!

    B.... H....

    Hearing Dolly sing takes me back to her guest appearances on Hannah Montana with her goddaughter Miley

  64. �.... �....

    Beautiful <3

  65. A.... B....

    Wonderful song!

  66. M.... S....

    I love this song very much.

  67. D.... P....

    I cry a river when listening to this song. I have lost so many loved ones in my life and this song just seems to bring all the emotions out.

    D.... P....

    Same here...even then it is hard to listen to sometimes. Merry Christmas!!

    D.... P....

    I no how u fill about this song

    D.... P....

    I can relate, pal.

    D.... P....

    Yup, I know. I have lost my entire family now. I literally have no family at all. Couple good friends from the 70s keep up with me. I'm 60 now and get along ok, still working etc...but at Christmas. Which I do love, it does remind me of all the great Christmases with my family. Sometimes being the LAST MAN STANDING is not such a good thing.

  68. J.... J....

    You are the greatest sanger

  69. H.... S....

    I listen to this cause I lost my 4 grandkids and trying to get them back and love them and it just it is just not Christmas with out them.

    H.... S....

    Hannah Salmons be strong

  70. C.... S....

    Living legend. The best. Her voice gives me eargasms

  71. p.... l....

    Dolly parton sang hard candy Christmas in a awesome movie called The best little whore house in Texas, if you have never seen it you should watch it,if you have seen it you should watch it again

  72. J.... M....

    I thought Cyndie Lauper sang this song beautifully, then I heard Dolly sing it and I had no choice but to punch myself in the face!

    J.... M....

    Lolol🌟🌴🎅

  73. J.... Y....

    Listening to Christmas songs on the 25 of November lol it's not even December, but never to early to listen to Christmas

    J.... Y....

    Devin Nielson well it is a very beautiful song

  74. M.... C....

    I have always felt so sad whenever I hear this song! Must be God's way of telling me something when I need it!!!!

  75. j.... ....

    this is definetely a beatiful song, however has nothing to do with Christmas .....ironic right?

    j.... ....

    Although I agree with everything you say about some people (myself included)having a hard time during the holidays, the bottom line is that Dolly used this song as a reference to the sadness she and the girls in the movie felt by having to leave the whorehouse behind. she compared this feeling of sadness to what some people used to feel when all they had in the old days was HARD CANDY for Christmas. because they were poor and that is all they could afford. this song and the movie had nothing to do with Christmas just the fact that she used it in the song to make a comparison does not make it a Christmas song. today it is played during the holiday season and of course you can equate it to whatever feelings or situations we may encounter during this time, but it was never meant to be a Christmas song otherwise it would have been a Christmas movie and not about a whore house.

    j.... ....

    , Dolly came out with the song on an album before she starred in the Best little whorehouse in Texas.

    j.... ....

    uthornss That was a Very Beautiful description of the song! Right you are!!!! Not everyone's Christmas is a happy one, some people are struggling. That's what the song is about.

    j.... ....

    @userofname1 I'm not sure what point you are making. It was still written for Best Little Whorehouse in Texas by Carol Hall

    j.... ....

    @uthornss I disagree that it's a Christmas song. The lyrics are about the prostitutes deciding what to do with their lives now that the brothel is shut down. The only thing that ties it to Christmas is they use a "Hard Candy Christmas" as a simile....in other words, if Carol Hall had compared it to any other hardship, it would have zero affiliation with Christmas...saying the whole song is a Christmas song because of one simile is a bit of a disconnect.

  76. J.... S....

    my sister told me it wasn't Christmas till she heard this and every year I play it have a good cry and remember her. Hope you are keeping the angles company did.

    J.... S....

    Joy Strittmatter god bless you ans your sister

    J.... S....

    God bless you and your family may she rest in peace

    J.... S....

    GOD BLESS, I LOST MY SISTER TOO.

    J.... S....

    My condolences

    J.... S....

    This made me sentimental ... I hope all is excellent for you :)

  77. C.... K....

    I love this song it is so beautiful!!

  78. M.... V....

    what can you say? simply beautiful... the older I get the more I see the beauty in this song...

  79. P.... ....

    Hello, Jamie. You'll "be fine and dandy."

  80. J.... ....

    I heard this song before I was diagnosed with my illness and I realized it just really boosted my self esteem. It was like this song directly spoke to me. For three years I listened to this song while waiting to get proper treatment for my illness until my legs gave out. This was the song that gave me strength as we traveled for treatment. This song gives me strength as I get infusions of medication every few weeks to manage this illness. This song gives me strength when my pain is just too high to manage with normal means and I can't do anything but focus on Dolly's voice and these beautiful lyrics that remind me that somehow "I'll be fine".

    I have this album's version on my iPod, though I do love the multi singer (actress) version. This song is from a wonderful musical and I'm glad it's graduated to not just classic musical status, but Christmas classic status.

    J.... ....

    +Jamie have a merry christmas and a happy new year jamie (from a stranger who read youre comment ) ;)

    J.... ....

    Jamie I hope by now you are finished with whatever treatments you were receiving and are now on your way to recovery! ;)

    J.... ....

    ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
