I Will Always Love You
RIMES LEANN Lyrics

"I Will Always Love You" is a ballad written and originally performed by Dolly Parton in 1974. LeAnn Rimes’ version of the song in the early 2000s was very successful and critically acclaimed due to its emotional rendition and well-executed vocals. In the song, the singer addresses a lover who has decided to end their romantic relationship. Despite feeling intense love and not wanting to leave, the singer understands that letting go is necessary for the well-being of both parties. They express that they will always love the person, even though they can't stay together anymore.

The first stanza of the song shows the singer's acceptance of the situation, and that they recognize that the person walking away from them is doing what is best for them. They know that if they were to stay, it would only make things worse for their former lover, therefore putting their happiness before their own. This is commendable and shows the noble and selfless nature of the singer. They want their former partner to be happy and have a fulfilling life, even if it means they can't be together.

In the second half of the song, the singer expresses their desire for their former lover’s happiness and well-being. They express their hope that their ex-lover will achieve all their dreams and desires in life, and they even add that they hope the recipient finds true love. Despite the separation, the singer vows to always love their former partner and keep them in their thoughts. This section shows the singer's love for their former lover is unconditional, and even though they can't be together in a romantic way, their love still persists.
