Day # 15 Song of the Day Challenge: A Song That Was A Cover From Another Artist. When I saw the prompt for Day # 15 Song of the Day Challenge: A Song That Was A Cover From Another Artist. I knew I wanted to share I Will Always Love You which was written by Dolly Parton.
Later on Whitney Houston sang I Will Always Love You for the movie Bodyguard. The greatest Romantic Musical ever if you ask me. I love the relationship between Whitney and Keven Costner.
I would like for you to listen to both versions of I Will Always Love You and let me know which version you prefer For me I like Whitney version better but David likes Dolly’s.

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 wayAnd I will always love you
I will always love you
You, my darling you, hmBittersweet memories
That is all I’m taking with me
So, goodbye
Please, don’t cry
We both know I’m not what you, you needAnd I will always love you
I will always love you, youI hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you’ve dreamed of
And I wish to you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you loveAnd 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 youYou, darling, I love you
Ooh, I’ll always, I’ll always love you
