Rimes, LeAnn - I Will Always Love You Lyrics






If I should stay
I would only get in your way
So I'll go
But I know
I'll think of you every step of the way

[with music]

And I will always love you
I will always love you
My darling, Mmmmmmmm
Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So goodbye
Please don't cry
For we both know
I'm not what you need
And I will always love you
I will always love you

[musical interlude]

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you dreamed of
And I wish you joy and hapiness
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 will always love you

Rimes, LeAnn I Will Always Love You Comments
  1. J.... S....

    Sorry Leanne. I know you have the best voice,but on this song never stray from the pure melodic line This is an abomination. Just think of what you COULD have accomplished here...Too bad.

  2. B.... B....

    Great song country music love you friend LeAnn Rimes ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  3. S.... Y....

    co za fałsz!

  4. C.... L....

    It is so sad she does not sing anymore a voice that is perfect in every ways and such a beautiful person in every way a gift from god.

  5. D.... L....

    I will always love you...

  6. N.... L....

    I think LeAnne Rimes is a exceptional singer! But its funny how everyone is commenting on the video saying that she sang it better than Whitney Houston. Cut it out! Whitney Rocked this song! Everyone knows it. LeAnne is a country singer, but she sang Whitney's version. That says alot! Whitney ripped this one.

    N.... L....

    Nicole Lajoi Dolly Parton did it first and best

    N.... L....

    Nicole Lajoi this is def the kids bop version so of course kids are going to like it better. I think if Leanne sang it now she’d do an even greater job but there can never be anyone who does this better than Whitney or Dolly ( when it comes to original country version)

  7. D.... C....

    But, it says LeAnn Rimes sang this in 1966. She wasn't born until 1982!

  8. J.... J....

    She takes any song and owns it! Amazing 😉

  9. j.... l....

    le Ann can't compare to Whitney nor dolly this was when she was young she needs to redo now that she's had that love . she was maybe 14 when she did this

  10. M.... V....

  26. M.... 2....

    whitney did well. leann did well. Leona Lewis did well. leT's remember dolly parton wrote it and did it first lol

    M.... 2....

    haha, agree

  27. g.... r....

    my ex-boyfriend dedicated this song to me when we were together, but then I accused him of lying about loving me, because he moved on so fast and got with another woman......man, do I feel terrible!!! :'(

    g.... r....

    perfect!!!

  28. B.... B....

    This hit me right in the heart 😭😭

  29. R.... R....

    super woman , super singer , super star I LOVE YOU!!!!

  30. �.... ....

    歌がうまいだけじゃなくて、心がこもって、こちらに響いてくるので、困ったもんだ。天才なんだろう。人の歌でかくも、自分の気持ちが出せるものなのか。

  31. T.... H....

    LeAnn was 14 & they were calling her the modern day Patsy Cline(The well known greatest female country voice ever, WOW), she is amazing!!!

  32. T.... H....

    In my opinion of this song, Dolly, LeAnn, then Whitney. I Love all 3 of them & think they are all beautiful, musically & looks wise.

  33. E.... H....

    Very nice rendition. Much closer than Ms. Whitney's (sorry), I think Ms. Parton would approve!!

  34. E.... C....

    chills me

  35. E.... C....

    wow....just wow...

  36. C.... H....

    Best version of this song by far...

  37. D.... M....

    Wow, Whitney who?   LeAnn's version of this song takes my breath away.

    D.... M....

    +Donna Muir No disrespect to Whitney but agreed!

    D.... M....

    All of her songs take my breath away :)

    D.... M....

    You're crazy! I like LeAnne, but Whitney does this song JUSTICE!

    D.... M....

    That’s cause y’all are young. Y’all like kids bop way.

    D.... M....

    Nicole Lajoi right!!They know Whitney made this song HERS

  38. S.... E....

    I love the guitar solo <3

  39. L.... R....

    It make me to remember the happy moments of the past.love it!!!

    L.... R....

    Loida Refuerzo I agree

  40. A.... S....

    You have to be not paying attention to think that this was a Whitney original. In the Bodyguard, she is taken to a country bar by Costner where the house band are playing it. She then covers it later.

  41. t.... ....

    I love this song worked hard to sing this song just right but it's such a beautiful song

  42. G.... S....

    Bittersweet Memories? I always thought Dolly said "Bit Her Sweet Mammaries"...

    G.... S....

    +Gordon Shumway I thought it said bit of sweet memories.......

  43. J.... H....

    I love this song

  44. l.... p....

    prefer whitney and dollys version

  45. d.... ....

    Best version ever with a beautiful Rhodes piano and a great guitar solo.
    Ohhhhh and a super voice of course!!! :-)

  46. m.... o....

    Interesting that she did the Whitney version even though she's a country singer. 

    m.... o....

    It's a mixture of both versions

    m.... o....

    my sentiments exactly!

  47. G.... A....

    Let LeAnn sing it now that her voice matured more. Blow them out the water. The woman can sing!! Love her

  48. J.... H....

    Dolly & Whitney are legends and I love them both but this Girl really moves me with her singing such flawless performances are truly breathtaking!!

    J.... H....

    truly breathtaking indeed.

  49. C.... C....

    Check out one more version . .  Jessica Sanchez . . another amazing version.

  50. C.... C....

    I think she was a very young teen when she sang this.

    C.... C....

    C Cr nope she was 11

  51. E.... C....

    Dolly Parton wrote this hit bck in the 70's and Dolly sang it from her heart and sound like a hurt angel..This song Dolly made millions and where's Leann and Whitney today and Dolly shes 68 still sold out concerts around the world and Dolly today worth over $950 million with her singing..LeAnn wish she was Dolly!!!

    E.... C....

    gotta give Leanne credit though. after all Dolly has been at it 30+ years

    E.... C....

    Leann is doing pretty well !

  52. m.... ....

    Noone beats Dollys way to perform this wonderful song. But LeAnn's performance is beautyfull to. But misses the feelings Dolly expresses so sweet..

  53. a.... G....

    Leann did a good job but no one could do it better than whitney she owns it

    a.... G....

    It's Dolly's song she wrote it in 1967 when she was planning on leaving the Porter Wagoner show. Soooooooo Dolly owns it and Whitney just sang it and had to pay Dolly royalties for the use of the song.

    a.... G....

    James Phillips Ahh Don’t be upset with Whitney.Not her fault she made this song a classic.🤷🏽‍♂️

  54. n.... ....

    Christina Aguilera(the very BEST female voice on earth) is yet missing to sing this wonderful song.Anyway, I love Leann too.She's one of my favourites and I consider she's too one of the best female voices of the whole world.

  55. n.... ....

    From white voices, hers is definitely the very best version of this song ever!!!.Anyway I dare to say she can sing WAY BETTER than Whitney!!!.

  56. S.... F....

    If shecame back like she was best female I heard in 60 years

  57. S.... F....

    she made it classic

  58. C.... P....

    Dollys version is better!

  59. s.... a....

    you are a such looser, u spent to hear music 71 years, and stillyou do. shame on you old man.. u r almost done

  60. b.... f....

    only a young 65 old but i agree you have enjoyed the best ,keep shineing

  61. n.... s....

    This song brings back such sad memories, but I can't stop listening to every version. This is one of the best. Thank you Leann. Nancy-California.

  62. M.... ....

    Amen..68 here.

  63. T.... ....

    i don't know why, but to me she sounds very young in this.

  64. d.... ....

    based on the 1997 album "unchained melody" from which you can find this track, she should have been 15 at the time. her voice is deeper and fuller now. all are good versions. based on feeling only, i'd say dolly did it the best. of course, whitney turned it into the massive international hit it was.

  65. S.... R....

    I love this song and I always will!!!!

  66. s.... b....

    This is a really great song, but her voice is almost too good for it.

  67. J.... S....

    If you like her so much MAYBE you should spell her name right... EPIC FAIL

  68. T.... R....

    Whitney sang it very wel. Dolly nailed it. This little gal just flat sings her ass off, and ourshines all of the rest. Anyone saying any different is either cursed with a tin ear, or is just trying to launch some sort of personal vendetta. This song belongs to Leann - she own it, no matter what any of you haters try to say.

    T.... R....

    Linda Ronstadt has a great version too...

    T.... R....

    Lmao. 😂Whitney sang this song! Thats who it belongs her! LeAnne sounds very good, but cut it out already with the comparison.

  69. J.... P....

    To the peole who dont like Leanne get a life geeeeeez

  70. D.... A....

    Why so many people down on Leeann? Miranda, Trisha U and several more ended up being what is referred to as homewreckers. It is tough being in the entertainment business or when you start so early as she did.

  71. B.... B....

    laura pausini

  72. U.... ....

    Leann is kind of like the female country Rod Stewart. Takes a song she likes and gives it a bigger musical production. Like Rod Stewart she has the singing voice to do it well.

  73. d.... h....

    Beautiful! I think LeAnn was the best for this song. I love Dolly and Whitney both, but this is my favorite version of this song. Thumbs up LeAnn! :)

  74. G.... S....

    Dolly's > Leann's > Whitney's

  75. A.... B....

    You really crack me up.. Panties in a wad? You haven't shut up about her. Your obviously either obsessed by her, or envy her. Maybe both. And you talk about yourself in the 3rd person as if you, me and someone else were in this discussion..hahaha ...It was afterall your comment I replied to ,not somebody or Nobody. Seem's to me with all this trolling on her video's and fans you continue doing is a sad ploy for some much needed attention. My advise to you, Go out and get yourself a real life.

  76. D.... B....

    This song was written by Dolly Parton, not Patsy Cline...

  77. a.... ....

    I said 'her' personal life, not 'your' personal life. See, this is why you're an idiot. For someone who doesn't care for Leann you sure are posting a lot of comments on her (note - I wrote 'her' again, this does not refer to you). Apparently you're here just to argue with people.

  78. A.... B....

    Don't hate, appreciate. This is an older song from one of her earlier CD's. But I have heard her sing live recently and trust me there is nothing washed up about LeAnn Rimes. Her voice is strong and steady and even more beautiful than ever. Has it even occurred to you that perhaps it's her choice to not make any new CD's now that's she's happily married. It's no one's right to pass judgement on another. The Heart want's what the heart want's. It's not your life, so get over it.

  79. a.... ....

    Why the hell are you listening to her on youtube? Sounds like your passing judgement based upon her personal life and not her talent.
    You're still an idiot.

  80. a.... ....

    Christ Jriley! Listen to that voice, what the bleep does it matter that she didn't write the song! Stealing? You're an idiot.

  81. s.... ....

    I love how many people on here saying that Leann isn't original when Whitney wasn't even the original singer of this song.

  82. n.... ....

    Yeah,her voice.

  83. n.... ....

    Not much different. Whitney was great but Le Ann is her equal.

  84. M.... O....

    this is no whitney houston. I'm sorry but no one will ever be whitney houston

  85. L.... L....

    This is beautiful ^_^

  86. k.... o....

    Where do you work?

  87. s.... ....

    I wish that she hadn't copied Whitney's version. She should have given it her own imprint.

  88. T.... ....

    I've heard Dolly's, Whitney's and LeAnn's. All 3 are amazingly talented singers, but LeAnn has a voice like no other. And she was only 15! Beautiful voice. I love her!!

  89. D.... T....

    Angel's voice. Nobody, and by that i mean NOBODY sings this better than LeAnn Rimes

  90. g.... w....

    leann beats EVERYBODY at this song!!!! no matter what

  91. N.... K....

    This song is beautiful

  92. s.... ....

    Yes, and Connie was only 6 years old as well ... amazing voice for one so young.

  93. B.... A....

    AMAZING(:

  94. E.... F....

    LeAnn Rimes has the most incredible voice I have ever heard in my life and for 71 years I have been a music lover. I thank what ever put me on this planet at this time so I could listen to the best.

  95. K.... F....

    No its not

  96. M.... W....

    So true...I grieve for the masses that can't hear what is so clear to us.

  97. A.... ....

    I love taht little girl and her voice...WOW! that is all I can say.

  98. M.... W....

    @ernestfalgour I totally agree....She has the voice unequaled....
