I Will Always Love You
Marileyda 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, 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

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

Overall Meaning

Marileyda's song "I Will Always Love You" is a heartwarming ballad about a heartfelt goodbye. The song depicts a painful separation between two lovers, where the singer acknowledges that staying would only hurt their loved one. They have decided to leave but promise to always love and remember their significant other. The opening line, "If I should stay, I would only be in your way," sets the tone for the entire song. The singer is aware that their presence is no longer welcomed or needed by their beloved, and it would be best for them to leave. However, they reassure their loved one that they will always love them and carry them in their hearts wherever they go.


The chorus of the song is arguably one of the most well-known parts of the song. It conveys the message of an undying love, "And I will always love you, ooh, Will always love you, You, My darling, you, Mmm-mm." The repetition of the phrase "I will always love you" reinforces the idea that despite their physical separation, their love will remain eternal. The singer's voice and the melody add to the emotion and poignancy of the song.


In the last verse, the singer expresses their goodwill towards their loved one's future, "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." It shows the level of maturity and selflessness in the singer; even though they are in pain, they genuinely care about their loved one's happiness and well-being. The song concludes with a powerful repetition of the chorus with added emphasis, "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."
