I Will Always Love (1982) lyrics

[Verse]
If I should stay
Well, I would only be in your way
And so I'll go, and yet I know
That I'll think of you each step of my way

[Chorus]
And I will always love you
I will always love you

[Verse]
Bittersweet memories
That's all I have and all I'm takin' with me
Goodbye, aw, please don't cry
'Cause we both know that I'm not what you need

[Chorus]
But I will always love you
I will always love you

[Bridge, spoken]
And I hope life will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all that you ever dreamed of
Oh, I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this, I wish you love
I love you
I will always love you
[Chorus]
I, I will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
