This is not a love song in the conventional sense. Dolly Parton wrote it for a close friend. In 1967, she was invited by the country star Porter Wagoner to co-host his TV show, where they became famous for their duets. In time though, her enormous talent eclipsed that of her mentor, and she moved on to greener pastures. She wrote the song for him to show her appreciation for the time they had worked together. Leaving Wagoner wasn't easy as he thought Parton was making a mistake and felt she was being disloyal. Parton played the song to Wagoner the morning after she wrote it as her way of letting him know that her mind was mad up and to express how she felt about him. Apparently, it got the message across: Parton said that Wagoner was in tears when she finished, and he called it "the prettiest song I ever heard." This all went down in 1973, and the following year Parton and Wagoner formally announced their split after a 7-year partnership Lyrics to this Dolly Song 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 (Repeat) I will always love you Songwriters: OZCARKCI, GONUL / MENASI, LINET N / PARTON, DOLLY N / YUKSELER, ABDULLAH TURHAN N If you love this song, find out how if altered her career forever!
