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
