About I'll Always Love You

"I'll Always Love You" is a song by American singer Taylor Dayne and the third single from her debut album, Tell It to My Heart.

It features sensuous love lyrics accompanied by a saxophone instrumental performed by Richie Cannata, who has played for other mainstream acts, including the Billy Joel Band.

I'll always love you
For the rest of my days
You have won my heart and my soul
With your sweet, sexy ways

You gave me hope
When I needed someone near
You bring me happiness
Everyday of every year

And I'll always love you
For all that you are
You have made my life complete
You're my lucky star

Your are the one
That I'd been searching for
You are my everything
Tell me who could ask for more

And I'll always love you
Honey, this will never end
I need you by my side, baby
You're my lover my friend

Oh, my friend
You gave my world
A thrill I've never known
And filled my eager heart

With a love to call my own
And I'll always love you
You must know how much I do
You can count on me forever

And I will take good care
Of you
I'll always love you
I'm so happy that your mine

I always love you
Till the end of time
