I Will Always Love You Lyrics

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
Will always love you

You, my darling you

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

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

And I will always love you
Will always love you
I will always love
Will always love you...
Will always love you...

I will always love you
Oh, I'll always, I'll always love you

I love this song. Sometimes I get the urge to send it to my boyfriend. I don't feel good enough for him. I'm overcoming a major drug addiction, and he's always been totally clean. He deserves so much better. I know he loves me, but sometimes love just isn't enough...

Love is always enough, never doubt that. My girlfriend left me a while ago. I loved her more than anything. There were some difficulties, not with the relationship but with the age and it became too much for her (I was the younger of the two at 21) to take. Not a day goes by that I don't wish she was still with me and there for me to hold. Because no matter what love should conquer all, and trust me if he loves you it doesn't matter what else is happening in your life,...

Not Valid

this song is not only about letting go of someone who you love and always love, but its about not wanting to let go. its about letting that person know how special they are and how they are unlike anyone else and no one will be loved as much as that person was. its about having to let go of true love, young love, first love. this is dedicated to russell. darling, ill always love you.

This song brings back so many memories. It was my boyfriends and mine favorite song. I remember him telling me "it is sooo beatiful." Now everytime I hear that song, it makes me cry. He got killed in a car wreck. So everytime I hear that song, I cry and think of him.

This song will forever remind me of my true love. There were so many obstacles that we could not overcome to be together. I remember sitting in the restaurant looking at him thinking, it simply should not be this difficult if we are meant to be together. But sometimes, it's not so straight down the line and love is not enough. This is one of the saddest, break-up songs ever.

Beautiful song. Whitney had the voice of an angel until drugs ruined it. This song is her best or at least one of her best. It's gorgeous. To the special woman who has held my heart for a very very long time, this is for you. Yesterday's scary post showed that nothing has changed, unfortunately, and never will. But I shall take to the grave with me a love I've never been able to expain to even myself. I guess sometimes only God knows the reasons why. And nobody said life was fair; sometimes we simply don't get what we want and we have to continue to live. Just glad I know I gave it my best shot. WONDERFUL song.

This song reminds me of what my boyfriend once said to me. He always thought I could do better than him, then he would try to leave me, and I remember I would let him walk away while he says, "I will always love you," but the problem was when he did that he ended up coming back, wanting to work it out, then he got worried and tried to walk away again like this song, but I stopped him from walking away because I knew that I would find no other like him. That is how I relate to this song, but I kinda disagree with it, if you are leaving someone and they don't want you to and if you really don't want to, you shouldn't leave, even if you do feel it is for their own good. It is their life to, and I know this because I have been that person that the artist is singing to.

I totally agree with 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

@Lirycal Forajido I'm reading this 16 years after you posted this and love it. I hope things worked out for you and the girl :)

I can relate to this song so much. I adore my boyfriend and I hope he never leaves. If he does, it will be very, very difficult, but I hope him all the best. This is a simple but great song.
