The lyrics to If You Hadn’t Been There show just how important he was to her career.

Dolly sings in the chorus, “I wouldn’t be here If you hadn’t been there / Holding my hand / Showing you care / You made me dream / More than I dared / And I wouldn’t be here / If you hadn’t been there.”

Her words spoke to their hearts.

A fan praised Dolly Parton and Carl Dean and their special relationship.

Another wrote “I’m speechless. That love that commitment to each other and your marriage. Inspiring. So sorry for the loss of your beautiful husband.”

This person thanked Dolly Parton for giving the world a glimpse of her husband through song. “I’m so sorry for your loss. Carl Dean must have been a tremendous man. May his memory be a blessing always. Thank you for sharing such a personal song with the world, Dolly.”
