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
I will always love you
You, my darling you, hm
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 to 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
Oh, I'll always, I'll always love you

Overall Meaning

The song "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston is a ballad about the bittersweet end of a romantic relationship. The lyrics suggest that if the singer were to stay, she would only be in the way of her loved one finding true happiness in life, and therefore chooses to leave. Yet, despite the separation, the singer promises her everlasting love and continues to think of her ex-lover every step of the way. The memories of their time together are bittersweet, but the singer wishes her ex-lover joy and happiness in life, reminding them both that what they truly need is love.


The song is often interpreted as a farewell tribute - whether that be to a lover or someone who has passed away. Whitney Houston in fact performed the song as a tribute to a friend of hers who had passed away, although it was written by Dolly Parton in 1973. Parton's original version was more of a country song, and Houston's rendition turned it into a pop ballad, reaching incredible commercial success in the early 1990s - topping charts in 20 different countries.
