I prayed and I prayed
And I tried and I tried
I stayed and I stayed
And I cried and I cried
You look at me you check my eyes
They’re crystal clear are you surprised

21 but felt much younger
Only saw me as a little brother
Would give it all to help my mother
I still love her more than ever
Ever

(ah) ooh I’ll always love you
(ah) ooh I’ll always love you

I drifted I drifted to different shores
You knew me less I knew mе more
Couldn’t say what the lie was for
Said whеn I’m gone your heart is sore
You send me songs by Leonard Cohen
They fill me in on how you’re going
There’s a bird on the wire, just started crowing
You say you’re proud of the way I’m growing

(ah) ooh I’ll always love you
(ah) ooh I’ll always love you
(ah) ooh I’ll always love you
(ah) ooh I’ll always love you
Always saw you on another level
Thought I saw you dancing with the devil
Told myself it was always civil
Until that day when it all unravelled
You told me secrets that I didn’t want
It’s a scary letter in a pretty font
And I ride through keep it nonchalant
And we’re closer now like I always wanted
We’re closer now like I always wanted

(ah) ooh I’ll always love you
(ah) ooh I’ll always love you
(ah) ooh I’ll always love you
(ah) ooh I’ll always love you

I’ll always love you (love you, love you, love you, love you)
Ooh I’ll always love you
Ooh I’ll always love you
