Always was written by Jon Bon Jovi for the soundtrack of the movie Romeo Is Bleeding, but it was not used in the film. Despite this, it was later included in the 1994 compilation Cross Road and became one of Bon Jovis biggest hits, receiving global acclaim.
This Romeo is bleeding but you can't see his blood It's nothing but some feelings that this old dog kicked up It's been raining since you left me now I'm drowning in the flood You see I've always been a fighter but without you I give up
Now I can't sing a love song like the way it's meant to be Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore but baby, that's just me
Yeah, I will love you, baby Al - ways And I'll be there forever and a day Al - ways I'll be there till the stars don't shine till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme I know when I die, you'll be on my mind and I'll love you Al - ways
Now your pictures that you left behind are just memories of a different life Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry One that made you have to say goodbye What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair, to touch your lips, to hold you near When you say your prayers try to understand I've made mistakes, I'm just a man
When he holds you close, when he pulls you near when he says the words you've been needing to hear I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine to say to you till the end of time
And I will love you, baby Al - ways And I'll be there forever and a day Al - ways
If you told me to cry for you I could If you told me to die for you I would Take a look at my face There's no price I won't pay to say these words to you
Well, there ain't no luck in these loaded dice But baby if you give me just one more try we can pack up our old dreams and our old lives We'll find a place where the sun still shines
Yeah, I will love you, baby Al - ways And I'll be there forever and a day Al - ways I'll be there till the stars don't shine till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme I know when I die, you'll be on my mind and I'll love you Al - ways
