If I should stay Well I would only be in your way And so I’ll go, and yet I know I’ll think of you each step of the way
And I will always love you I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories That’s all I’m taking with me Good-bye, please don’t cry ‘Cause we both know that I’m not What you need
But 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 you,
I will always, always love you I will always love you I will always love you I will always love you
If I should stay Well I would only be in your way And so I’ll go, and yet I know I’ll think of you each step of the way
And I will always love you I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories That’s all I’m taking with me Good-bye, please don’t cry ‘Cause we both know that I’m not What you need
But 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 you,
I will always, always love you I will always love you I will always love you I will always love you

Dolly Parton has always been about the welfare of children, and that much is evidenced in the 1993 song âWhat Will Baby Beâ. Maura OâConnell provides the backing vocals on this song. That voice paired with Partonâs lilting vocals and tender guitar-strumming results in a beautifully cohesive piece of work.
Lyrics
A young couple marries, already fighting Along comes baby makin’ them three Trouble’s all he hears from the time he’s in didies Baby don’t know just what to believe
Angry words and spiteful actions Baby’s gonna cut his teeth on these If that’s gonna be the main attraction What will the baby be, what will baby be
Baby needs love and needs direction Baby’s first school is the family For they are only a reflection Of the things they see, what will baby be
What will baby be after baby is grown What will baby do if baby don’t know what’s right or wrong Got to show them love, got to teach them truth ‘Cause what baby is when baby grows up Well, that depends entirely on me and you Depends entirely on me and you
Baby thinks God is just a curse word Never said a prayer ’cause he’s never been taught They remember and repeat what they’ve heard So I ask who’s really at fault
So many questions, so few answers So many lessons we don’t teach Stumbling through like clumsy dancers What will baby be, what will baby be
What will baby be after baby is grown What will baby do when baby is out there on his own Teach the children how to be all they should be ‘Cause what baby is when baby grows up Depends entirely on you and me Depends entirely on you and me What will baby be
Love is like a butterfly As soft and gentle as a sigh The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings Love makes your heart feel strange inside It flutters like soft wings in flight Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
I feel it when you’re with me It happens when you kiss me That rare and gentle feeling that I feel inside Your touch is soft and gentle Your kiss is warm and tender Whenever I am with you I think of butterflies
Love is like a butterfly The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings Love makes your heart feel strange inside It flutters like soft wings in flight Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
Your laughter brings me sunshine Everyday is spring time And I am only happy when you are by my side How precious is this love we share How very precious, sweet and rare Together we belong like daffodils and butterflies
Love is like a butterfly As soft and gentle as a sigh The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings Love makes your heart feel strange inside It flutters like soft wings in flight Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
If I should stay Well I would only be in your way And so I’ll go, and yet I know I’ll think of you each step of the way
And I will always love you I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories That’s all I’m taking with me Good-bye, please don’t cry ‘Cause we both know that I’m not What you need
But 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 you,
I will always, always love you I will always love you I will always love you I will always love you
