I Will Always Love You
Whitney Houston · The Greatest Hits
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way
(Chorus)
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, you need
(Chorus)
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
(Chorus)
I will always love you (x3)
I, I will always love you
Darling I love you
I'll always, I'll always love you
