(The Way That) I Will Always Love You

from At Least There Will Be Love by Sam Steffen

/

lyrics

If the sun tomorrow should rise and find me gone from your side
If my life should transpire so quick as to fit to within the blink of an eye
If all of the dust of my days should be scattered in ten different ways
And the ocean complains that nothing remains to answer the one who asks why
Please know that the sky and the sea
Will not always be blue
That nothing will always be
The way that I will always love you

If all of my cries should fall short of the home t’where they fly
If they shatter and break on the walls of the gate that proves too strong and too high
If word of me never returns, and my whereabouts never get learned
And I’m somehow forgot despite how I fought to never surrender, but try
Please know that things as they seem
Will not always be true
That nothing will always be the way that I
Will always love you

If your heart like an overripe pear should grow sour and sore
If time should strengthen your will and you vow not to think about me anymore
If one day your forgetting succeeds, and your wounds, they no longer bleed
And no time’s left to waste, you’ve taken first place, but you just can’t remember what for
Please know that the ways you can see
Will not always be few
That nothing will always be
The way that I will always love you
