If I should stay, I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way

And I will always love you
I will always love you
You, my darling you, hm

Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So, goodbye
Please, don't cry
We both know I'm not what you, you need

And I will always love you
I will always love you, you

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish to you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love

And I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I, I will always love you

You, darling, I love you
Ooh, I'll always, I'll always love you

    This is the first time i,m gonna post a comment,so here goes,,whitney,,in my book,will be one of the best voices,,,ever, and its a shame that she is falling for drugaddiction.like any other addiction. its not an easy task to overcome.its contradictory,, u need help from others to continue,,but they cant help you, if u dont help yourself.despite all of this,,i admire her talent.now,this message goes to nietzche.,,if the man is still there for you ,,its a mistake, that u let him go.in situations like those is where u get to see what they are made of.its real easy to love someone whos fine, dandy doesnt have problems. if hes still there for you,my humble opinion is to stay with him. it may not be my business.but,,i used to be with someone that,,thought the same u did..that i was "too good" for her,she said she has done things in her past which she wasnt proud of,or that i needed someone "cleaner".i still have contact with her, as friends..but inside i wish she game me a chance.some of us guys are able to give it our all,like your boyfriend for example,,there isnt much of those left.so,,just think about,ok? :) well i think i changed the topic a little bit, have i? i just enjoy in some way to try to help out,,typical boricua behavior ;) . anyway. i,m signing off, and i hope the folks at SM dont cancel my membership like last time

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
