\u201c[There are] several things I have wanted to start, but I can\u2019t do it,\u201d Parton said to Kardashian when she was asked if she ever started a song that she was unable to finish.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will later,\u201d she continued. \u201cI\u2019m just coming up with such wonderful beautiful ideas, but I think I won\u2019t finish it. I can\u2019t do it right now, because I got so many other things.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t afford the luxury of, you know, getting that emotional right now,\u201d she states. \u201cThere are times like that, things like that, that will stall you a little bit. But I\u2019ll write something else though, if it comes.\u201d<\/p>\n
But prior to her husband\u2019s passing, songwriting was something Dolly truly loved, as it allowed her to connect more to her \u201cspiritual self.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI love feeling like that I can create something, to leave something in the world today that wasn\u2019t there yesterday,\u201d she said to Khlo\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Prior to her interview with Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian, Parton said in an interview to \u201cEntertainment Tonight\u201d<\/a> that, \u201cI\u2019m having to really go through a lot trying to figure out how to be without him because I was with him for so long. I\u2019m holding up, I\u2019m doing as well as one can after 60 years, being with and loving somebody.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a part of me that\u2019s happy he\u2019s at peace and at rest,\u201d Parton added. \u201cBut then of course, there\u2019s that part of me that will miss him forever and long for him every day. For the rest of my life, I\u2019m sure.\u201d\u2060<\/p>\n At the beginning of this summer, Parton revealed that she paid tribute to her late husband<\/a>, for what would have been their 59th anniversary, by taking a trip to a Ringgold, Ga., church where they were married on May 30, 1966. <\/p>\n \u201cWe would always go down to Ringgold so \u2014 in and around our anniversary every year since we were married,\u201d she told FOX News\u2019 America Reports<\/a>. <\/p>\n While Dolly Parton<\/a> may not be writing any new tunes anytime soon, you can get tickets to see her perform an abundance of songs from her iconic discography in Las Vegas from Dec. 4 to Dec. 13<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI haven\u2019t worked Vegas in years, and I\u2019ve always loved singing there,\u201d Parton said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m looking so forward to the shows in The Colosseum at Caesars, and I hope you are, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n This string of shows will mark the first time she has performed in the city since 1993.<\/p>\n You can also listen to the song that was released as a tribute<\/a> shortly after his passing, \u201cIf You Hadn\u2019t Been There.\u201d<\/p>\n Hi, I\u2019m Nicole, NJ.com<\/a>\u2018s expert live events and deals writer!
