      @@MichaelAndersen_DK Yes, this song is only the most meaningful of its original intend, is to a friend and not a boy friend or a lover. Cause the words says that both side in the story knows that each one is finally not for each other in life's endeavor. It make sense to me now after listen to Dolly that why would two lover love each other too much and would say they are not for each other, only music partner make sense.

      Dolly Parton has a great story about the first time she heard Whitney's version. She had given permission to _The Bodyguard_ to use the song but didn't know they had. Whitney's epic version came on the car radio and it took her awhile to realize that it was her song! Dolly tells the whole story wonderfully as you would expect. It's on a RUclips video somewhere.

      She has the most amazing voice! This song was written by Dolly Parton as a tribute to Porter Wagner. The lyrics really touch the hearts of many. Whitney Houston also sang her own version of this song in the movie "The Bodyguard" with Kevin Costner. I couldn't help but cry tears of joy listening to Dolly Parton (and Whitney Houston) sing it. How incredible would it be if both Whitney Houston and Dolly Parton sang together? That would be absolutely amazing!

      Dolly song is a farewell to mentor song (it's not about romantic love). Foster (and Houston) took Linda Ronstadt's 1975 arrangement and and just played with the melody line. Dolly had to call to give David the final verse of the song - which Linda didn't included in her recording (when she heard that they were using Lindas' recording as a template). But in the movie the song is used, as a song, about romantic love....so there is a difference.

I can't take away from Dolly's songwriting skills but her voice is not even half good as Whitney's and everyone with ears will notice that!

      Whitney was singing it for another reason, which gives the listener a different meaning. Whitney was singing it as a love song..
      They both hit SOOO differently.. but deeply!!

      John Palmer Well, Mr Music, so many folks in the Country Music world are upset that Whitney gets all the credit and some people don't know that Dolly composed this song. Dolly brings a tender pathos to it. Whitney with her once magnificent voice before the drugs and her life with Bobby destroyed it, adorned it with operatic pyrotechnics. As I had said to Nu, each woman brings her specialty to the table. I like both versions, but I wanted Dolly Parton to receive her due as the originator of the song.

      I totally agree. Whitney's version was so huge that it has almost completely left the original largely forgotten.
      The percentage of the population of music lovers that even know that this was a Dolly Parton gem long before Whitney is probably fractional at best.
