Dolly Parton is a living legend who dons many a hats - Singer, song writer, a shrewd business women, actress, author and philanthropist. Today I bring to you a bitter sweet love song composed by her - I will always love you.
The song has been covered by many artists but the version by Dolly is a classic.It became No.1 song on the country music chart when it was first released as a single in 1972. After almost a decade, American singer Whitney Houston's version of the song in the film Bodyguard became one of the best selling single of all time. Parton again recorded the song in 1982 and it again topped the charts.
When I first heard the song, I imagined a break up situation, girl leaving a boy. Very typical. But Dolly did not write the song for a situation like that. In 1967 Dolly began working with Porter Wagoner on his television show. The two of them also recorded several albums together. After seven years of working together, Parton decided to part ways and launch out completely on her own. They fought a lot and Wagoner could not accept her going away. Parton wrote this song for Porter Wagoner. It was her way of saying good bye. When Dolly played that song to Porter he loved it and said she could go provided she let him produce that song. He did produce the song and song became a big hit.
It is a wonderful song with simple lyrics yet deep meaning. Whitney Houston's funeral ended to this song. Partners parting ways, a love break up or as a farewell song when a person leaves the world, this song is perfect for all situations. Can you relate to this song? What is your story? let us know.

Lyrics: I will always love you
If I should stay
Well, I would only be in your way
And so I'll go, but yet I know
That I'll think of you each step of my way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
That's all I have, and all I'm taking with me
Good-bye, oh, please don't cry
Cause we both know that I'm not
What you need
I will always love you
I will always love you
And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh, I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you, I will always love
I, I will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
