Dolly Parton's song If You Hadn't Been There is an ode to her late husband
Dolly Parton's husband, Carl Dean, passed away earlier this year on March 3 at the age of 82. Parton and Dean first met in 1964 at the Wishy Washy Laundromat in Nashville, Tennessee, and tied the knot two years later on May 30, 1966.

"I fell in love with Carl Dean when I was 18 years old. We have spent 60 precious and meaningful years together. Like all great love stories, they never end. They live on in memory and song. He will always be the star of my life story, and I dedicate this song to him."
The song which is an ode to Parton's late husband feature lyrcs like:
"If you hadn't been there where would I be?/ Without your trust love and belief/ The ups and downs we've always shared/ And I wouldn't be here if you hadn’t been there"
Announcing Dean's demise on Instagram via a post dated March 4, Dolly Parton mentioned that she had spent "many wonderful years together" with him. The singer added that words couldn't justify the love she and her husband shared for over 60 years.
While fans have shown love to news of Dolly Parton's limited Las Vegas residency, the singer has also made headlines by collaborating with new age artists like Sabrina Carpenter on a country version of her track Please Please Please.
