Whitney Houston Tribute Band 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 will think of you every step on the way...
And I will always love you,
I will always love you
You my darlin' you
Better sweet memories

That is all I am taking with me
So good bye, please don't cry
We both know I'n not what you,
you need
And I will always love you
I will always love you...
mmm...
I hope life treat you kind
And I hope you get all you dream
and I wish you joy and happines
but up of 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 wil always love you...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Whitney Houston Tribute Band's song I Will Always Love You convey a message of farewell from a person who has decided to end a relationship despite still feeling affection towards their partner. The opening line, "if I should stay, I would only be in your way" suggests that the singer has recognized that their presence in the relationship may be hindering their partner's growth or happiness. The subsequent line, "so I'll go but I know I will think of you every step on the way" carries an underlying sadness and emotional turmoil, acknowledging the difficulty of letting go.

The chorus, "and I will always love you, I will always love you, you my darlin' you" emphasizes the enduring nature of the singer's feelings towards their partner, even in the face of separation. The line "bittersweet memories, that is all I am taking with me" suggests that the singer is holding onto the positive aspects of the relationship even as they leave, indicating that the relationship was meaningful and impactful for both parties.

Line by Line Meaning

If I should stay
If I were to stay with you...

I would only be in your way
...it would hinder your progress.

So I'll go but I know
So I must leave you, but rest assured...

I will think of you every step of the way...
...that I'll keep you in my thoughts as I move on.

And I will always love you,
And know that I will always have love for you,

I will always love you
I will always love you,

You, my darling, you
You, my dear, you

Bittersweet memories
I'll cherish the happy times we shared, but...

That is all I'm taking with me,
...I must let go of the past and move forward,

So goodbye, please don't cry
Goodbye, please don't be sad

We both know I'm not what you
We both understand that I'm not the one...

you need
...you need in your life right now.

And I will always love you
But despite all of this, know that I will always love you,

I will always love you...
...forever and always.

I hope life treats you kind
I wish for you to have a good life

And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I hope that your dreams come true

And I wish you joy and happiness
And I hope that you find joy and happiness

But above all this I wish you love
But more than anything, I wish you love

And I will always love you
And know that 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 wil always love you...
...forever and always.

I can't even fathom the courage and confidence it took for Jennifer Hudson to stand face-to-face with the ONE and ONLY Whitney Houston while singing Whitney's most iconic song. Straight to her face. And she KILLED it. This moment makes me so happy. Whitney knew how appreciated she was based on Jennifer's stellar performance of HER song. How blessed we all are to have witnessed this. ❤

This is Whitney's signature song and I think she does the best version this is true, but this is a dolly parton song and dolly wrote the songs you can't say it's her song The song belongs to the song writer. Whitney would have been the 1st person to tell you that.

Simon Cowell is only ever interested in a quick buck. He's a leech feeding on musical talent...

Felipe Spengler

I don't understand these people who always bring up about her not winning American Idol. FORGET IT
In Jennifer Hudson's season there were other singers as talented as her, including the one who won, Fantasia. Talent is not just having a wonderful voice, but knowing how to engage your niche fans with your performance, maturity, emotion and charisma. Jennifer Hudson is the best American female voice in recent years, this performance is one of (several) proofs of that.

46w↑3

@Felipe Spengler I hear you but Simon was especially mean to her and as much as I love fantasia who had the Better career 🤷🏽‍♂️

Felipe Spengler

46w↑4

@B_DA_DON Exactly. Maybe if Simon hadn't been so critical, she wouldn't have evolved so much. We'll never know. Of course, Jennifer had the best career, but even though I really like her, I still get goosebumps listening to any live Fantasia song

inasez

40w↑2

@felipespengler6463 I agree about Fantasia. There was no touching her that Season, and she's gone on to tremendous glory and respect in the industry. Jennifer has as well, I'm so proud of them both. They were the two who were most clearly destined for their careers today.

Yeah. But Jennifer’s going to be in the industry for the long haul. These other artists that are immensely popular despite their limiting talents have a shelf life. Jennifer is going to be in movies for years to come and making music the entire time. She’s been around a long time already and she’s not going anywhere. When she’s older, she will be recognized as a legend. Just like Whitney, Patti LaBelle, Aretha Franklin, Madonna, Dolly Parton etc.

Whitney THE VOICE Houston is simply the greatest singer to come to this planet. We can sit here all day and analyze her vocals. It is a fact that she could sang anything and it was pure magic. There is a reason just about every singer before and after her were majorily influenced and greatly inspired by her voice. Yes, there are other great talents. Whitney was in a universe and level of her own. Many people have just listened to portions of what she can do with her voice or the most popular hits. If you want to know why she is called the voice, eigth wonder of the world and some other of the greatest titles one can have then I suggest you listen to live footage from the beginning of her career until about the late 90s. Millions upon millions of fans, most awarded female artist, sang just about every genre and mastered them and so much more. This was because of her voice. There is a reason the National anthem(of all songs) sold millions back in the day. Really the national anthem, yeah it was because she was singing it! She was a vocal genius. She is not just one of the most celebrated artists just because she was beautiful inside out. She could sang anything with or without music in any genre. It does not take a vocal coach or credentials to realize this. Anyone who disagrees obviously has not listened to ALL the vocal aspects of Whitney Houston, which she possesses all qualities of all singers in one voice(her voice) hence the title THE VOICE. FACTS‼️ There was something God given about her voice that you know it was heaven sent. She was not the most sought after singer for nothing at one point. Whitney sang with power without having to scream, everything came natural to her. She means ALOT to singers, the world and music execs etc..Her voice is perfection and one of God's gifts to this crazy world.

And Whitney looked so proud of her, like a mother proud of her child. Jennifer did an interview at some point, with Atlanta Black Star, where she said that Whitney had followed her backstage and said, and I quote this, "I turn my torch over to you; you are The One."
That was probably one of the best things Jennifer heard, that her idol was passing her mantle on to her.

Inna interpretacja, ciekawa, głos niższy, cięższa barwa w porównaniu z Whitney, ale również przepiękny i mimo tego, że pod koniec trochę Jej "odjechał" / emocje/- wspaniale!
