The Power of Love
Barbara Streisand & Celine Dion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes

I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside's too much to take
That all ends when I'm with you

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side

'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear, suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away

'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'm gonna do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

The power of love
The power of love
Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

The power of love, ooh-ooh ooh




(As I look into your eyes)
The power of love (the power of love)

Is light years away
Is so distant now, so far removed from my reality

To a place I have never known before


Sometimes I am frightened
Though sometimes I am scared


But I'm ready to learn
I am strong and willing to grow through my experiences


Of the power of love
And to understand the transformative and transcendent nature of love


The power of love
The immense force and unifying energy that love encompasses


The power of love (the power of love)
A reminder of the tremendous impact and influence that love has on our lives

No fucking way—the Holy Trinity of female singers is:

1. Barbra Streisand
2. Celine Dion
3. Karen Carpenter

Whitney Houston would be 4th, but although her voice is spectacular, to me she doesn’t have that once-in-a-lifetime, out of this world voice like the three ladies I mentioned.

Mariah Carey is very talented, but her voice doesn’t have that crystal clear tonality that the others do. She has a very very slight rasp to her voice and it’s more breathy.

Just my opinion of course.
