Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was high and low and everything in
Between
I was wicked and wild baby you know
What I mean
'Till there was you yeah you
Something went wrong
I made a deal with the devil for an
Been to hell and back but an angel was
Looking through
It was you yeah you
It's all because of you
You are the reason
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night
You are the reason, the reason
In the middle of the night
I'm going down 'cause I adore you
I want to floor you
I'm giving it up
No more running around spinning my
Wheel
You came out of my dream and made it
Real
I know what I feel
It's you
It's all because of you
You are the reason
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night
You are the reason, the reason
In the middle of the night
I'm going down 'cause I want you
I want to touch you
I want to floor you
You are the reason, baby
You are the reason
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night
You are the reason, the reason
The lyrics to Celine Dion's song "The Reason" are a powerful testimony to the transformational power of love. The singer of the song has been through highs and lows, been "wicked and wild," and even made a deal with the devil, but everything changed when she met "you." This person, the reason she wakes up every day and sleeps through the night, has made her dreams a reality and given her a new sense of purpose. She is no longer running around in circles, but instead is ready to give herself fully to the object of her affections.
The chorus repeats the refrain, "You are the reason," emphasizing the importance of this person in the singer's life. The line, "In the middle of the night, I'm going down 'cause I adore you," is particularly poignant, revealing the depth of her love and how it consumes her. She wants to touch and floor this person, giving in to her desire completely.
All in all, "The Reason" is a moving tribute to the transformative power of love, how it can change a person's whole outlook on life and give them new purpose. The singer has been through a lot, but meeting "you" has made it all worth it.

@krammiet7494
celine is the most impressionable singer in the world. its easy to copy her technique. see katrina velarde, ariana grande, nicole of pussycat dolls, and so many others can copy her anyday.
@voidvoid6662
Carole wrote this song for Celine. She was not supposed to be part of this performance but Celine asked her to join on stage and Carole graciously accepted the duet. They’re such an amazing and sweet girl friends.
@brittlangford9462
Bryan Lee I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure Carole wanted Aerosmith to do this song haha. Steven Tyler declined- and I think Celine Dion is just perfect.
@jorelaure526
It was written for Aerosmith and not for Celine
@annettemartin766
Céline held no grudges and even requested Carole to duet with her. Amazing lady.
@withthistearmarquis3065
@Britt Langford and Rene and Celine declin to do the song i don't want to miss a thing and Steven Tyler take this song.
@SarumanDeWhite
All wrong.
Aerosmith was to have gotten this song, and Céline, I don’t wanna miss a thing.
Carole sent wrongly.
