I Will Always Love You
(originally by Dolly Parton)
(from “The Bodyguard” soundtrack)
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, ooh
Will always love you
You
My darling, you…
Mmm-mm
Bittersweet memories –
That is all I’m taking with me
So good-bye
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
You, ooh
[Instrumental / Sax solo]
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you’ve dreamed of
And I wish 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
I’ll always…
I’ll always love you
Ooh
Ooh

“I Will Always Love You Piano’” is a song written in 1973 and originally recorded by American singer-songwriter Dolly Parton. Her country version of the track was released as a single in 1974. It was written as a farewell to her one-time partner and mentor Porter Wagoner upon Parton’s decision to pursue a solo career.
Parton’s version of “I Will Always Love You” attained commercial success, twice reaching number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart — first in June 1974; and again in October 1982 when her re-recording of the song also reached number one. With this accomplishment Parton became the first artist ever to earn a number one record twice with the same song.
Whitney Houston recorded a cover version of the song for the 1992 film The Bodyguard. Her single spent 14 weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It has since become one of the best-selling singles of all time and it remains the best-selling single by a woman in music history. Houston’s version of “I Will Always Love You” re-charted in 2012 after her death, making it only the second single ever to reach the top three on theBillboard Hot 100 in separate chart runs. The song has also been covered by many other significant artists including Linda Ronstadt and John Doe.
