Stephen Colbert moved to tears after Dolly Parton sings
Dolly Partonโs mom used to sing melodies as a child, including โBury Me Beneath The Willow," but she didnโt expect to bring Stephen Colbert to tears. The legendary country singer made an appearance on โThe Late Show with Stephen Colbertโ to talk about her latest book โSongteller: My Life in Lyrics" and her latest holiday album โA Holly Dolly Christmas." โMy mama was a good singer, she used to sing songs that were sad, and sometimes pitiful,โ she told Colbert. She proceeded to sing a piece of โBury Me Beneath the Willowโ, drawing Colbert in tears by her singing. โYou know sometimes thereโs nothing happier than a cry?โ he said while quickly wiping tears off his eyes during the show.
