Celine Dion(席琳·迪翁) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
'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'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 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
(As I look into your eyes)
The power of love (The power of love)
The Power Of Love by Celine Dion is a song about the inexplicable, overwhelming nature of love. The opening lines suggest the quiet intimacy between two lovers as they sleep. The singer is holding onto their partner closely, feeling secure and protected by their love. She proclaims that she is his lady and he is her man, highlighting the exclusivity and utmost importance of their bond. The singer promises to always be there for her partner, to do all that she can to support and love him.
The feelings of security and safety continue throughout the song, even when the world outside becomes too much to bear. The singer declares that she is always by her partner's side, and she reassures him that he can reach for her whenever he needs. The chorus repeats the idea that love is powerful, and the two are exploring new territory, perhaps in their relationship or in their personal lives. The singer admits that there are times when she is frightened, but she is ready to learn and experience the transformative power of love.
The Power Of Love was originally written and recorded by Jennifer Rush in 1984, before Celine Dion covered it in 1993. The song became a worldwide hit, topping charts in the UK, Australia, and Canada. The song's popularity was propelled even further by the fact that it was used as a theme song for the film The Bodyguard. The song was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1994, but ultimately lost to "Streets of Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen.

The whispers in the morning
Soft words spoken in the dawn
Of lovers sleeping tight
Of those embracing each other, deep in slumber
Are rolling by like thunder now
Are echoing through the air with a loudness like a storm
As I look in your eyes
As I gaze deeply into your soul
I hold on to your body
I embrace your physical form
And feel each move you make
And sense every motion of your being
Your voice is warm and tender
Your speech is soothing and affectionate
A love that I could not forsake
A affection that I could never give up or abandon
'Cause I'm your lady
Because I am the woman you love
And you are my man
And you are the man I love
Whenever you reach for me
Whenever you call out for me
I'll do all that I can
I will make every effort to help you
Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
Overwhelmed and adrift is how I feel in your embrace
When the world outside's too much to take
When the noise and chaos beyond us is unbearable
That all ends when I'm with you
That all fades away when I am with you
Even though there may be times
Although there will be moments
It seems I'm far away
When it appears that I am distant
Never wonder where I am
Never worry about my whereabouts
'Cause I am always by your side
Because I am always there for you
We're heading for something
We are journeying towards a destination
Somewhere I've never been
To a place I have never experienced before
Sometimes I am frightened
Occasionally, I feel afraid
But I'm ready to learn
But I am prepared to discover
Of the power of love
Of the strength and force of affection
The sound of your heart beating
The rhythm of your heart contracting and expanding
Made it clear
Made it obvious
Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on
All of a sudden, the sensation that I cannot continue
Is light years away
Seems exceedingly far away and insignificant
The power of love, ooh ooh
The influence of affection, ooh ooh
(As I look into your eyes)
(As I peer deep into your gaze)
The power of love (The power of love)
The strength and force of affection (The strength and force of affection)

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.
