'I Will Always Love You' - Dolly Parton covered by Whitney Houston

Dolly Parton wrote this and did the original version in 1974, which went to #1 on the Country charts that year. She recorded another version for the 1982 movie The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas, which also hit #1 on the Country charts. 

The lyrics are sad in the sense that the singer will always love the person she is singing to, yet she knows they are not right for each other and must let him go. It is often misinterpreted as a song about people who will be together forever, and even gets played at some weddings. 

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, ooh 
Will always love you You My darling, you... 

Mmm-mm Bittersweet memories – That is all I'm taking with me. 
So good-bye. 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 
You, ooh [Instrumental / Sax solo] 
I hope life treats you kind 
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of 
And I wish 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 I, 
I will always love you. 
You. Darling, I love you. 
I'll always... I'll always love you. Ooh Ooh
