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.
I Love You
Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But if I were to leave you I would die
I'd like to break the chains you put around me
And yet I'll never try
No matter what you do you drive me crazy
I'd rather be alone
But then I know my life would be so empty
Impossible to live with you
But I could never live without you
For whatever you do
For whatever you do
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you
You make me sad
You make me strong
You make me mad
You make me long for you
You make me long for you
You make me live
You make me die
You make me laugh
You make me cry for you
You make me cry for you
I hate you
Then I love you
Then I love you
Then I hate you
Then I love you, I love you more
For whatever you do
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you
You treat me wrong
You treat me right
You let me be
You make me fight with you
I could never live without you
You make me high
You bring me down
You set me free
You hold me bound to you
I hate you
Then I love you
Then I love you
Then I hate you
Then I love you more
For whatever you do
Whatever you do
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you
I never, never, never
I never, never, never
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you
But you

I must be crazy now
I feel like I'm going insane because I'm constantly thinking about you
Maybe I dream too much
I fantasize about you so often that it feels like I'm living in a dream world
But when I think of you
Whenever you cross my mind
I long to feel your touch
I crave the sensation of your skin against mine
To whisper in your ear
To speak softly to you
Words that are old as time
Phrases that have been expressed for generations
Words only you would hear
Messages that are intended for you alone
If only you were mine
If we were in a romantic relationship
I wish I could go back to the very first day I saw you
I regret not making a move on you when we first met
Should've made my move when you looked in my eyes
I missed my chance to start a relationship with you because I was too hesitant
'Cause by now I know that you'd feel the way that I do
I believe that if we were together, you would have similar feelings towards me
And I'd whisper these words as you'd lie here by my side
If we were together, I would softly say the following words to you
I love you, please say
I'm confessing my love for you and hoping that you feel the same way
You love me too, these three words
If you reciprocate my feelings, all you have to say are these simple words
They could change our lives forever
If we become partners, our lives would be drastically altered for the better
And I promise you that we will always be together
I am committed to being by your side no matter what
'Til the end of time
I want us to be together for a very long time
So today, I finally find the courage deep inside
I've mustered up the bravery to express my feelings to you today
Just to walk right up to your door
I came to your house to speak with you in person
But my body can't move when I finally get to it
I'm so nervous that I'm physically unable to approach your door
Just like a thousand times before
This is not the first time I've attempted to tell you how I feel
Then without a word he handed me this letter
But instead of speaking with me, you gave me this written note
Read I hope this finds the way into your heart, it said
The note contained a message wishing to touch your heart
Well maybe I, I need a little love yeah
I'm searching for love and affection
And maybe I, I need a little care
I'm longing for someone to take care of me
And maybe I, maybe you, maybe you, maybe you
Perhaps we both need someone to love and care for us
Oh you need somebody just to hold you
You might need someone to hug and embrace you
If you do, just reach out and I'll be there
If that's the case, don't hesitate to ask me for comfort
Please say you love me too
I'm still hoping that you feel the same way as I do
Please please
I'm pleading with you to return my feelings
My baby
An affectionate term used to refer to you
Together, together, forever
Let's spend the rest of our lives together
I will be your light
I want to guide and support you
Shining bright
I want to bring happiness and positivity into your life
Shining through your eyes
I want to see the joy and love that you feel for me

God was right to give u such a very big talent.
He was right right to design u as a love tool.
He trusted you and you made it.
You touched my heart miles and miles away.
You are the best female sound the world will ever hear.
Your place is with beautiful birds.
Your destiny is to be among angels.
I love u I love you Céline.
Wish u could read in my heart.
