Parton, Dolly - I Will Always Love You Lyrics






If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you each step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
That's all I am taking with me
Good-bye, please don't cry
We both know that I'm not
What you need
I will always love you
I will always love you

I hope life, treats you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
And I wish you joy
And happiness
But above all of this
I wish you love
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you

    If I should stay, I would only be in your way
    So I'll go, but I know
    I'll think of you each step of the way
    And I will always love you
    I will always love you

  14. U.... M....

    Kampret please dont cry with your ex-girl

  15. A.... W....

    Well, I'll simply say it because it is true, and the most intelligent of us know that it is true. When it comes to this song, Dolly Parton is to Whitney Houston what Elvis is to The True King.

    Elvis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT3P7p-WNSY

    Even Elvis's earlier performances are mere pathetic attempts at coolness, attempts that have so little imagination that they do not deserve an allowance even for antiquity's sake.

    On the other hand, there is true and obvious greatness here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8xCBd_XYa8

    We see here such a display of human potential and depth that it ensures MJ will be relevant for at least another 150 years. There are so many subtle brilliancies here that they cannot all be named. For example, note how after staying in the riff for nearly a minute, MJ sweeps his right hand at :50 to signal the beginning of the song. This is style, real style that will remain excellent to our species forever because it is an elegant use of our natural form. Contrariwise, take a look at this bit of toiletbowlery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT3P7p-WNSY&t=219s

    Does Elvis even compare here? Please! There is no question that MJ reigns, clearly, above anything that Elvis could have ever hoped to achieve. But there will be scores of old fogies who, despite now having knowledge of genuine greatness through artists like MJ, will nevertheless claim that Elvis was equally special - somehow. Utter nonsense! James Dean and Steve McQueen existed long before I was a thought to my parents, and yet I see their work and know that they were special. They will remain special, as MJ will remain. But Elvis was only special because people did not know any better. Now that they know better, and he has become merely a glitter painting on velvet that is being sold from the back of a rusted El Camino.

    Similarly,

    A bunch of fogies will insist that Dolly's version of this song is somehow as equally special as Houston's when in truth is that it just is not. Everyone knows that it is not. Indeed, Dolly's version is weak - milquetoasty and worthless by comparison.

    Dolly whimpers her love such that it remains bounded within a very limited and passing context. But Whitney, on the other hand, declares her love as if singing to The Universe. She sings it as if taking wings and flying up to The Gods. She took this little tune of Dolly's and single-handedly converted it into an Anthem to Persevering Love. There is just nothing like it. Houston's version has so captured the world's mind that if one were merely to say the words "And I Will Always Love You," one would provoke Houston's voice - and not Dolly's. Here are numerous performers, great and small, covering *Houston's* tune - not Dolly's:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LhoLxOIv3E
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ngb9GieXN8s
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=023CWTfHiWs

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWcpoQirMoU
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pce1SC1x3uU

    Parton may have written it - But Houston did it full justice and made it hers alone.

  16. P.... L....

    I love Dolly. She is underrated as a song writer.

  17. A.... N....

    And i always listen to this song everyday :)

  24. S.... ....

    Dolly could care less. She’s worth half a billion right now .

  25. F.... F....

    She has a beautiful voice, but the instrumental they chose could have been better. the song isn't optimized to it's max.

  26. b.... t....

    Kacey musgraves is a brunette version of dolly 🤩🤩🤩

  27. C.... C....

    If you didn't know Dolly wrote this song: it's ok. Enjoy :)

  30. B.... D....

    Porter Wagnor you the man

  31. R.... O....

  32. J.... ....

    Check out Linda ronstadt’s rendition. It’s beautiful too.

  33. G.... ....

    So what version is better, Dolly or Whitney's?

    G.... ....

    GasteMicki I like Whitney’s version better. But Dolly did a good job.

  36. E.... A....

  37. C.... C....

    never like this song, most of all, never like the way whitney huston performs it, too much drama in her voice.
    Until I find this original version.
    Thanks for uploading

    C.... C....

    Who fucking care?

  38. T.... C....

    Dolly has written over 1000 songs! Queen 👏

  39. g.... a....

    Here is the original and only version. Sorry Whitney. And I pity the millenials that thought this was all Whitney Houston.

  40. B.... ....

    OMG I DONT BELIEVE THIS SONG ITS WRITED FROM THIS WOMANN
    I KNEW ITS FROM WITNEY HOUSTOUNN
    IM SHOCKED RIGHT NOW😭😭😭

  41. m.... f....

    Nobody sings like Dolly. Like Patsy, she has a special voice.

  42. F.... D....

    Thank you Christmas ... Long time I listened to the song but no idea what this today I found it

  43. c.... f....

    Love this version which is the original, it was Ms. Whitney who made it global and gave it the fame and appreciation the song deserved by taking it to places that the the wonderful and multi talented Dolly would never took that wonderful song, it not only make Ms Houston richer an most famous, but Ms. Parton was all in realty gave her at lot of cash until this day, God Bless them both!!!

  44. I.... w....

    She was gorgeous back then, she’s literally plastic now

    I.... w....

    That is the unfortunate part of societies influence on public figures as they age. We all expect them to be the person in their prime, but to make all of are hopes be real , Dolly does have to resort to cosmetic surgery. However, when your picture is all over the internet, you want to look the best you can. Presentation is everything, but yes so gorgeous. Its sad they cant just age gracefully without the pressure of society . Today's music is about money, and the engineers who work the magic behind the scene This is the most raw, and blunt emotional feelings towards another, in every form a human could do to say sorry, I have to leave

  45. S.... K....

    didnt know this was by her learn something new every day

  46. T.... T....

    This song hurts when you hear the story behind it and how it all ended.

    T.... T....

    Can u tell me😢

  47. K.... ....

    This sucked. Who is this girl

    K.... ....

    The original artist. Dolly Parton

  48. A.... C....

    Best version sorry Whitney rip

  49. K.... M....

    would love to see a movie about Dolly Partons life

    K.... M....

    Netflix's right now.

  50. c.... g....

    I love how easy she sings this ❤️

  51. A.... M....

    Beautiful 🤗😚🤩😍💞😘💯

  52. A.... S....

    I also love that accentuated dobro on "and I" of the chorus

  53. A.... S....

    Omg she was gorgeous. I never knew what she looked like before her famous Joan rivers look

  54. D.... R....

    "...well I did sorta mean it." "0_o oh didja?"

  55. L.... Z....

    💛💛💛

  56. 3.... ....

    She has such a gentle melodic voice. I love this version

  57. a.... w....

    Beautiful from Poland

  58. T.... R....

    Dolly is the queen of Tennessee!

  59. M.... F....

    Always preferred this version way more.

  60. N.... L....

    Mind blowing🙆
    She sings it in a way that makes me breakdown. I never knew this was Dolly song🤦 I'm so happy I know now💖

    N.... L....

    Witney houston's version of this song became more famous, it was a cover though. I also learned today that most of Whitney's songs were covers

  61. G.... G....

    This lady was so pretty with an angelic voice

  62. A.... ....

    Now she looks like a total cartoon. Such a mess. Plastic is always just that.

  63. M.... P....

    ...checkout Linda Ronstadt's version, you'll love it too...

  64. M.... M....

    This will always be a Whitney song to me!

  65. R.... J....

    Dolly and Whitney...

    👑 BOTH are Queens! 👑

  66. D.... B....

    This song would have faded off and away out of the media if Whitney Houston didn't bring such Passion nd Soul when she shed Light and Awarness to Dolly's wonderful and emotional song!! 💯✔✨lol I only say that because she sang it totally different on a lower scale than Whitney did. Whitney Was and, infact, still is the Angel 👼 that helped her song prosper...💯✔✨

  67. M.... D....

    It digs deeply in my heart.
    She's so humble
    Not even a human being to be compared with.
    Humility is the best defense although it's impossible.

  68. j.... q....

    Why is this recommended 9 yrs late cmon

  69. B.... P....

    Whitney Houston's version is about like Darius Rutger singing the Old Crow Medicine Show's song... Wagon Wheel. It is the Jewish musical industry rewriting using the black culture as a weapon to overshadow white culture so that the Jews are the Supreme White Race. They have been doing it for thousands of years. The NAACP was all Jews. Fact. See oldies music in the Doo Wap Era as well. Dirty Bugs.

  70. A.... A....

    Dolly parton : sad version
    Whitney houston : spirit version

  71. A.... G....

    All I hear is:
    Jolene
    *Jolene*
    JOLENE
    *JOOOOOOLEEEEEEEEEEENE*

  72. F.... R....

    That voice....

  73. n.... ....

    Whitney Houston have a better version of this song, but here I cry ;-;

  74. M.... J....

    Simplemente Hermosa❤

  75. K.... A....

    People didn't know this was dolly's song Whitney stole it

    K.... A....

    She covered it

  76. A.... K....

    Came here because of
    younger days

  77. T.... C....

    Beautiful, the song too...

  78. G.... C....

    This is the godfather of all boomer songs


    Edit: i actually love this song

  79. n.... ....

    When I see Dolly back in the day, i know I'm not all the way straight.

    n.... ....

    nekoyinyang a mood

  80. R.... S....

    She could be my mother because I was born in 1974.

  81. c.... w....

    She's so pretty

  82. k.... K....

    I knew this was Dolly Parton song since I was a kid my father told me. But I’m sorry Whitney Houston sing it the best no one is touching what Whitney did at all

  83. M.... S....

    Can’t even imagine the orgasm between her tits.

  84. R.... ....

    People say Kacey Musgraves looks like her, I see it...

  85. h.... ....

    played this for my dog and he deadass started howling when she hit high notes

  86. M.... S....

    Dolly Parton is a wonderful singer. But the cover from Whitney Houston - I am sorry - is much more better !!

  87. c.... s....

    I will always love you and you will always have a special place in my heart, l only wish you could not give up on as LMM

  88. S.... S....

    If this song was a person who fall in love:
    Dolly patron style: kind of shy person
    Whitney houston style: f*ck it! I LOVE YOU!
    And JonTron style: I HATE YOU BUT I STILL LOVE YOU!

  89. C.... K....

    This song was sang at my sisters funeral. She died 23 years ago. It was also sang at my Grandma and Mom's funeral. It still rips my heart out

  90. C.... 8....

    Everyone thinks this is Houston’s song. ITS NOT. Get ya head out ya butt please. And appreciate our good ol Dolly here 🙃

  91. B.... T....

    Fantastic. Powerful when one knows the backstory, especially in the interaction between Dolly and Porter. Parton is such a fantastic composer.

  92. D.... D....

    OMG this is so perfect! Broken my heart in a million pieces... So amazing ❤️

  93. C.... S....

    I’m sorry but Whitney Houston killed this song. Dolly did good though lol

  94. A.... N....

    I’m so Sad that Dolly doesn’t get acknowledged for her song. It’s 2019 and I just realized.

    A.... N....

    @John C That's true. Dolly says that Whitney made her rich !

    A.... N....

    Dolly Parton is the most recognizable singer in country music. And still goingbstrongbin 2019. Shes every bit as great as whitney ever was

    A.... N....

    Because Whitney Houston absolutely obliterated that song.

    A.... N....

    She said Whitney can have the credit for the song as long as she got the checks in a Wendy Williams interview LMAO

  95. L.... S....

    this woman is basically a saint in an area of Tennessee and Virginia

    L.... S....

    About a 400-800 mile radius around Dollywood(her theme park if you aren't familiar) the people agree on only 2 things, the mountains sure are purty and Dolly Parton can do no wrong.

    L.... S....

    and kentucky haha

  96. C.... B....

    The hair The boobs.😊

  97. G.... E....

    Me lo dijo el chombo.

  98. p.... ....

    Those tits man
