You
Pam Hall Lyrics

The lyrics to Pam Hall's song I Will Always Love You express the bittersweet emotions of a person who must depart from a loved one, but still has powerful feelings for them. The opening line, "If I should stay, well I would only be in your way," is a poignant acknowledgement that the singer's presence in the other person's life may not be healthy or conducive to their growth. However, the singer also admits that "I'll think of you each step of my way," indicating the depth of their attachment to the other person.

The chorus of the song, "I will always love you," is a declaration of enduring affection, despite the separation. The singer recognizes that the memories they share are "bitter-sweet," implying both joy and sadness. The second verse heightens the emotional complexity of the song, with the singer essentially telling the other person that they are not the right fit for them. "We both know that I'm not what you need," they say, but still cling to the idea of ongoing love and care.

The final verse offers well-wishes to the other person, expressing the hope that their life will be filled with joy, happiness, and most importantly, love. The power of the song lies in its ability to convey deep and conflicting emotions with simplicity and sincerity, making it a timeless classic.
