[Verse 1: Vince Gill]
If I should stay
Well, I would only be in your way
So I'll go, abut I know
I'll think of you each step of my way

[Chorus: Vince Gill]
And I will always love you
I will always love you

[Verse 2: Dolly Parton]
Bitter-sweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
Good-bye, please don't you cry
'Cause we both know I'm not what you need

[Chorus: Dolly Parton, Dolly Parton & Vince Gill]
But I will always love you
I will always love you

[Bridge: Vince Gill, Dolly Parton, Dolly Parton & Vince Gill]
I hope life (I hope life)
Treats you kind (Treats you kind)
And I hope you have all you dream of
I wish you joy (Wish you hoy)
And happiness (And happiness)
But above all this I wish you love
[Chorus: Dolly Parton & Vince Gill, Vince Gill]
Oh, I will always love you
I will always love you
Yes, I will always love you
I will always love you

[Outro: Dolly Parton & Vince Gill]
Ooh, ooh
