Whitney Houston – I Will Always Love You: A Farewell That Became Eternal
Some songs are sung, and others are felt — deep in the heart, long after the last note fades.
I Will Always Love You, as performed by Whitney Houston in 1992, is one of those rare songs that never leaves you.
Originally written and recorded by Dolly Parton in 1974, the song was a gentle goodbye — not out of anger, but out of love. When Whitney brought it to life again for the film The Bodyguard, she didn’t just cover it. She transformed it.
With her voice — pure, powerful, and filled with emotion — Whitney made the song into something unforgettable. From the soft a cappella opening to the soaring chorus that follows, it became a universal anthem of love, loss, and letting go. It no longer just a call from a heart, it more than a song.
The song stayed at No. 1 for 14 weeks and won Whitney a Grammy, but more than awards, it became a comfort for those letting go, and a celebration of love that lasts beyond goodbye.
Though Whitney is no longer with us, this song — and her voice — live on. A timeless reminder that sometimes, saying goodbye is the most loving thing of all.
