I Guess I'll Always Love You
The Isley Brothers Lyrics

I guess I'll always love you
Despite everything that's happened, I know deep down that my love for you will never fade

You've got the love I need
There's something about you that fulfills a void in me and keeps me coming back

You've got the love I need
I've tried to fill that void with other people, but none of them have what you have

Open up your arms
Let me back into your life and show me that you still care

And let me walk on in
Give me another chance to be with you and make things right

Open up your heart
Let me back into your heart and let me love you like I used to

And let me live again
Being without you has been like living in a constant state of limbo, and I need you to bring me back to life

When you left you left with me
When you left, you took a part of me with you that I can never get back

A dream no longer reality
The fantasies of our life together that I used to hold onto are now just a distant memory

I live the shadows of our past
I can't escape the memories of our time together, even though they now haunt me

With this love that's born to last
Despite everything, my love for you will never die and will always be present

The only time I'm happy
My happiness is dependent on thoughts of you, and without you, I can't be truly happy

Is when you're on my mind
You occupy my thoughts and are always at the forefront of my mind

Every day I live
I do what I need to do to get by, but it's all meaningless without you

All my love I give
I pour all of my love into thoughts of you, hoping that somehow you'll feel it

I've been a thousand places
I've tried to move on and put distance between us, but I can never truly escape memories of you

Seen your smile on a thousand faces
Even though I've seen so many people and places, none of their smiles ever match up to yours

No matter what I try to do
No matter how hard I try to forget you or move on, I can never escape how I feel about you

I'm always dreaming of you
My mind is always consumed with thoughts of you, even when I'm sleeping

Every boy that passes by
Even though I try to move on, every guy I see just reminds me of what I once had with you

I see your sparkle in his eye
I can't help but compare everyone else to you and see you in them

Right away I stop and stare
In those moments, everything else fades away, and I'm left with thoughts of you

Close my eyes and see you there
My memories of you are so vivid that I can feel like you're right in front of me, even when you're not

Whenever I feel almost free
There are times when I feel like I'm moving on and making progress, but those feelings always get interrupted

Memories take hold of me
Whenever I start to forget, memories of you come flooding back and take over

I love you now so much more
My love for you has only grown stronger over time, despite everything that's happened

Than I ever did before
I never realized how much you meant to me until you were gone, and now I know that I need you in my life
