This song is so famous & popular because of Whitney Houston from "The Bodyguard" soundtrack. But I always prefer the original version sung by Dolly Parton who wrote this song in 1995. For Whitney's version, her love is so powerful, so almighty and so overwhelming. But for Dolly's version, this is the LOVE I prefer: tender, unconditional, gentle and to give but not necessary for a promised reward as ' We both know I'm not what you need '...We may not be able to be together to fight this world, but we both know you're in my heart, as always.
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU ~ by Dolly Parton
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
Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So goodbye... please don't cry
We both know I'm not what 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've dreamed of
And I wish for 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
You... darling I love you
I'll always... I'll always love you
