I Will Always Love You
Foster Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I should stay
Well, I would only be in your way
And so I'll go, but yet I know
That I'll think of you each step of my way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
That's all I have, and all I'm taking with me
Good-bye, oh, please don't cry
Cause we both know that I'm not
What you need

I will always love you
I will always love you

And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh, I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you, I will always love

I, I will always, always love you
I will always love you




I will always love you
I will always love you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Foster & Allen's song "I Will Always Love You" portray a bittersweet moment of a person who is leaving someone they love. The singer acknowledges that they should leave since they might only be a hindrance to their loved one, but they cannot help but constantly think about their partner with every step they take. The song then goes on to express the singer's undying love for the person they are leaving behind. The memories are all they are taking with them, but they assure their partner that they will always love them, no matter the distance or time.


Throughout the song, the singer seems to be conflicted between staying and leaving. It appears as if they know that leaving is the best thing for both of them, but they cannot help but express their love for the person they are leaving behind. The last verse of the song indicates that the singer hopes for their former partner to find happiness and love, and it is evident that their love for the other person is selfless. The song's lyrics suggest that sometimes, the best way to love someone is to let them go and be happy, even if it means sacrificing one's own happiness.

If I should stay
In the event that I need to remain


Well, I would only be in your way

And so I'll go, but yet I know

I have nothing & I will always love you
( Lea Simanjuntak Ft. David Foster)

Share my life,
Take me for what I am.
'Cause I'll never change
All my colors for you.

I don't wanna have to now
Very much further/farther,
I don't wanna have to go
Where you don't follow.
I will hold it back again,
This passion inside.
Can't run from myself,
There's nowhere to hide.
Your love I'll remember forever

Don't make me close one more door,
I don't wanna hurt anymore.
Stay in my arms if you dare,
Or must I imagine you there.
Don't walk away from me.
I have nothing, nothing, nothing

Don't make me close one more door,
I don't wanna hurt anymore.
Stay in my arms if you dare,
Or must I imagine you there.
Don't walk away from me
Don't walk away from me baby
Don’t you dare
Walk away from me
I have nothing nothing nothing
If i dont have you you

Oh... my darling you

And I will always love you
I will always love you

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope that 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 will always.......
love you

And I will always love you

Share my life
Take me for what I am
'Cause I'll never change
All my colors for you

Take my love
I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are
And everything that you do

I don't really need to look
Very much further
I don't want to have to go
Where you don't follow
I will hold it back again
This passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide

Don't make me close one more door
I don't want to hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, you, you, you

You see through
Right to the heart of me
You break down my walls
With the strength of your love

I never knew
Love like I've known it with you
Will a memory survive
One I can hold on to?

I don't…
.
.
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, oohh
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
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, I will always love
You...
You
Darling I love you
I'll always
I'll always
Love
You.
Oooh
Ooohhh
