I Will Always Love You

LeAnn Rimes · Unchained Melody: The Early Years

If I should stay
I would only be in you're 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
You need

And I will always love you
I will always love you

(music)

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

And I will always love you(oooooh yeah)
I will always love you(oooooh)
I will always love you(ooooh)
I will always love you.....
Darlin' I love you
I'll always, I'll always
Love you
