Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
And I
Will always love you, I
Will always love you
You
My darling, you
[Verse 2]
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]
And I
Will always love you, I
Will always love you
[Bridge]
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]
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
[Outro]
Darling, I love you
Ooh, I'll always
I'll always love you
