I’ll Miss You Dolly – Miley Cyrus (A Tribute To My Friend & Mentor, Dolly Parton) (Fan-Made)

Hey everyone, my name is Brian Seeger, son of Cassie Parton, and I'm representing the Parton and Owens family today, announcing the passing of my aunt Dolly Rebecca Parton. Taught her how to stand, showed me how to hold my head high, and still keep an open hand. You were more than a mentor, more than a guiding star. You were the closest thing to home I ever found so far. Every time I needed truth, you gave it soft and clear. Every time I needed love, you always kept me. I'll miss you, Dolly, more than these words can ever say. The world feels a little cold since you went away. I'll miss your voice in the morning, your wisdom late at night, the way you made all these days feel just a little light. You left a hole inside me that nothing else can fill. I'll miss you every sunrise, I'll miss you every still. I'll miss you. I'll miss you. You taught me how to be myself when the world tried to change me. How to wear my truth like sequins for the whole damn world to see. You held my hand through heartbreaks. I thought when the whisper keep on going, child, like the dearest kind of friend. I watched you turn your struggles into songs the world could sing. Watched you love this life so hard it made my own heart ring. You gave me roots and gave me wings and stories still untold. A love so pure and steady that it never once grew cold. I keep thinking of the mornings when I called just to hear your voice. How you'd laugh and somehow make me feel like I still had a choice. You treated me like family when the industry fell cold. You gave me strength I didn't know I had and courage to be bold. You left a mark, a legacy of kindness that this world could never replace. But knowing you were my leaves, a hollow in my chest, a quiet kind of mist that night won't ever let me rest. I'll miss you, times can never say. The world feels since you went away. I'll miss your voice in the morning, your wisdom, the way you made me feel just a little light. You left a hole inside me that nothing else can fill. I'll miss you every sunrise. I'll miss you every still. I'll miss you. Mountains miss you gentle. I hope the rivers sing your name. I hope whatever weight you carry is now soft and free of pain. You give more than most will ever give. You love more than most will ever know. And even though you're gone from here, your spirit still shows me how to go. I'll keep singing all your songs when the nights get far too long. Keep your wisdom in my pocket like a never-ending song. Young girls coming up will still discover what you were. A force of purest love that nothing ever could deter. You taught me how to rise above and how to stay myself. How to give the world my heart on a shelf. So I say I miss you every day, but never really goodbye. Because a love like yours don't leave us, it just learns how to fly. More than these words can ever say. The world feels a little cold since you went away. I miss your voice in the morning, your wisdom, the way you made the hardest days feel just a little light. You left a hole inside me that nothing else can fill. I miss you every sunrise. I miss you every still. I miss you. Miss you. I miss you. Miss you every. Miss you, darling. I still reach for the phone sometimes when the night gets too quiet. Expecting that soft Tennessee laugh to come through and quiet it. You took a wild broken girl and taught her how to stand. Show me how to hold my head high and still keep an open hand. You were more than a mental more than a guiding star. You were the closest thing to home I ever found so far. Every time I needed truth, you gave it soft and clear. Every time I needed love, you always kept me near. I miss you, darling. These words can never say. The world feels a little colder since you went away. I miss your voice in the morning, your wisdom late at night.
