MY HEART WILL GO ON
島津亜矢 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're one

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way

You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Overall Meaning

The song "My Heart Will Go On" by 島津亜矢 is a ballad that speaks about the enduring nature of love even when physically separated. The song is based on the movie Titanic and its tragic love story. The lyrics of the song have a melancholic tone as the singer expresses her undying love for the person she is separated from. The opening line, "every night in my dreams, I see you, I feel you, That is how I know you go on," highlights the deep emotional connection that the singer has with her loved one, even when they are not together.

The lyrics go on to describe the emotional void that is created when two people who love each other are physically separated. The line "far across the distance and spaces between us, you have come to show you go on," conveys the theme of hope and how love can survive even when separated by distance. Throughout the song, the singer declares her belief in the power of love, that it can last a lifetime and never let go.

Another key element of the lyrics is the emphasis on the heart. The line "I believe that the heart does go on" is both a reference to the movie's plot and a metaphor for love itself.

The song culminates with the promise that the love between the two people will continue to thrive, no matter where they are.
