This is further proof of our theory that Dolly Parton is the best human being on Earth.
She was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Tuesday night, talking about her Christmas album, her new book (Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life In Lyrics), even her marriage.
She then gave a beautiful performance of “Bury Me Beneath The Willow,” which Dolly said her mom used to sing to her as a child. It was so beautiful, in fact, that Colbert teared up.
“Like a lot of Americans, I’m under a lot of stress right now, Dolly,” Colbert said after the performance. “You got under my trip wire right there. That was pretty beautiful.”
