Born to a large impoverished family, Dion emerged as a teen star in the French-speaking world after her manager and future husband René Angélil mortgaged his home to finance her first record. In 1990, she released the anglophone album Unison, establishing herself as a viable pop artist in North America and other English-speaking areas of the world.
Dion had first gained international recognition in the 1980s by winning both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest.Following a series of French albums in the early 1980s, she signed on to CBS Records Canada in 1986. During the 1990s, with the help of Angélil, she achieved worldwide fame after signing with Epic Records and releasing several English albums along with additional French albums, becoming one of the most successful artists in pop music history. However, in 1999 at the height of her success, Dion announced a temporary retirement from entertainment in order to start a family and spend time with her husband, who had been diagnosed with cancer.She returned to the top of pop music in 2002 and signed a three-year (later extended to almost five years) contract to perform nightly in a five-star theatrical show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.
After performing in 25 countries during the Taking Chances World Tour which ended in February 2009 (one year after it began) she took another 2 year hiatus, focusing on expanding her family. After 6 in-vitro tries she gave birth to twin boys Nelson and Eddy in October 2010. In the meantime she announced her return to Vegas, her new show simply named "Céline" premièred on March 15th 2011 to spectacular reviews by media and audience.
Dion's music has been influenced by genres ranging from rock and R&B to gospel and classical. While her releases have often received mixed critical reception, she is renowned for her technically skilled and powerful vocals. Dion is the best selling Canadian artist of all time; and her album D'eux is the best selling francophone album of all time. Dion is regarded as one of pop music's most influential voices. Linda Lister describes Dion as a reigning Queen of Pop for her influence over the record industry during the 1990s. On a cultural level, Dion is credited for introducing francophone music to many non-francophone countries around the globe. Dion is also credited for both revitalizing and revolutionizing the entertainment scene in Las Vegas with the gargantuan successes of her residencies there. She managed to re-popularize the Las Vegas "residency" as a desirable way for top artists to essentially tour in place, letting their fans come to them. Over the years, fellow established icons such as Britney Spears, Elton John, Bette Midler, Rod Stewart, Cher and Shania Twain followed suit.
Always Be Your Girl
Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try to follow where it leads me, that's right
I don't wake up in the shadows anymore
I can finally breathe
I dig a little deep down, searching
Took a little time to work it through
But I found everything
I once was the lost one
Like a wayward child
Now you're the light that leads the way
I can melt the drops of freezing rain
I will fly in and save the day
I will always try to make it
Better than it was for me
You'll always be the first one in my prayers
Just close your eyes and I am there
It's a better world
Since you're my boy, I'll always be your girl
I'm picking up all the pieces
When I put 'em back together I'm like new
'Cause my greatest wish
Has already come true
We'll always be connected, baby
Like a button to a sleeve
And this lullaby
Will send you off to sleep
It's hard to imagine
My life before you
'Cause you're the light that leads the way
I can melt the drops of freezing rain
I will fly in and save the day
I will always try to make it
Better than it was for me
You'll always be the first one in my prayers
Just close your eyes and I am there
It's a better world
Since you're my boy, I'll always be your girl
I'll be holding the rope if you tumble and fall
There is love after love after all
We'll always be connected, baby
You're like a button on my sleeve
And this lullaby, oh, oh
I can melt the drops of freezing rain
I will fly in and save the day
I will always try to make it
Better than it was for me
You'll always be the first one in my prayers
Just close your eyes and I am there
It's a better world
Since you're my boy, I'll always be your girl, ooh
Your girl
