And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine

I don't see that like that way,
First of all, while she could do that technique she blows our head out of the water,
And now time passes through we must admit that and enjoy her success as Celine Dion's fans.
And for her lip-sync, she is 52 years old.
And she did so many good technique too.
