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.
Love of My Life
Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I still think of you all the time
I memorized your stupid smile
And I can feel it kissing mine, oh
From the first moment
And I would hold it down
From the first moment
You, you are the love of my
You are the love of my life
You, you are the love of my
Always the love of my life
The good, the bad, the ugly too
I take it all because the truth is
You, you are the love of my
You are the love of my life
My life
When it comes to you and me
I'll never say the word goodbye, mm
Because we are eternity
Your essence is my lullaby
From the first moment
And I would hold it down
From the first moment
From the first moment
You, you are the love of my
You are the love of my life
You, you are the love of my
Always the love of my life
The good, the bad, the ugly too
I take it all because the truth is
You, you are the love of my
You are the love of my life
We were never close to perfect
Baby, perfect's not the world I wanna live, no
We were never close to perfect
We were never close, but no one is, so
You, you are the love of my
Always the love of my life
You, you are the love of my
Always the love of my life
The good, the bad, the ugly too (still waiting for you)
I take it all because the truth is
You, you are the love of my
You are the love of my life
My life
My-my-my, my-my-my, my-my-my life

The person she is speaking about is described as the love of her life, someone she cherishes through the good, bad, and ugly moments. The lyrics acknowledge that their relationship was never perfect, but the imperfections don't diminish the love they share. The singer rejects the idea of perfection and embraces the reality of their connection, asserting that no one is perfect and that doesn't negate the depth of their love.

I know it's been a little while
Although some time has passed, I still remember and think of you constantly.
But I still think of you all the time
You occupy my thoughts continuously, despite the passage of time.
I memorized your stupid smile
Your silly, yet endearing smile is imprinted in my memory.
And I can feel it kissing mine, oh
I can sense the warmth and tenderness of your smile touching mine.
From the first moment
Since the very beginning of our connection
And I would hold it down
I would cherish and nurture our bond
You, you are the love of my
You, without a doubt, are the one I deeply love
Always the love of my life
You will forever remain the love of my life
The good, the bad, the ugly too
I wholeheartedly accept all aspects of our relationship, whether they are positive or challenging
I take it all because the truth is
I am willing to embrace every experience because the reality is
When it comes to you and me
In our relationship,
I'll never say the word goodbye, mm
I will never utter the word 'goodbye' to you, no matter what
Because we are eternity
Our connection transcends time and is everlasting
Your essence is my lullaby
The essence of your being brings me comfort and serenity, like a soothing lullaby
We were never close to perfect
Our relationship was never flawless or faultless
Baby, perfect's not the world I wanna live, no
However, a perfect relationship is not what I desire in life
We were never close to perfect
We were never near the state of perfection
We were never close, but no one is, so
We might not have been extremely close, but in reality, nobody truly is
My-my-my, my-my-my, my-my-my life
My life, my existence
My life
The essence of my being
