"Love Will Always Win" is a song written by Gordon Kennedy and Wayne Kirkpatrick.

Faith Hill cut the song in 1998 for the international release of her 1998 album Faith , produced by herself and Byron Gallimore. [2] In 2005, Garth Brooks recorded the song as a duet with his wife, Trisha Yearwood, for the album The Lost Sessions, a compilation of new and previously-unreleased material within his 2005 box set The Limited Series . Brooks and Yearwood performed the song on The Oprah Winfrey Show . [3] Allen Reynolds, Brooks' longtime producer for two decades, produced their version of the song, although a review from Billboard magazine erroneously gave the production credit to the song's co-writers Gordon Kennedy and Wayne Kirkpatrick.
