I Will Always Love You

Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You single front cover
RIAA Certification:
Diamond, 10x Platinum

“I think Dolly Parton is a hell of a writer and a hell of a singer. I was so concerned when I sang her song how she’d feel about it, in terms of the arrangement, my licks, my flavor. When she said she was floored, that meant so much to me.”

Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston’s iconic rendition of “I Will Always Love You” from The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album became a juggernaut, topping charts all over the world and winning critical acclaim. The song spent 14 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, a record at that time and Whitney’s longest run atop the chart.

The song won GRAMMYs in 1994 for Record of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female. In 2020, “I Will Always Love You” was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry, and in January 2022 it was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Songwriter: Dolly Parton

Producer: David Foster

Lyrics

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

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
You

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
