I Will Always Love You
Ely Bruna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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.
Will always love you.
You, my darling you. Mmmm.

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.

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...
