My Heart Will Go On
Celine Dion & Barbra Streisand Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far
Wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on

Once more
You open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far
Wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on

Once more
You open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

You're here
There's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on

We'll stay
Forever this way




You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Celine Dion is a fabulous singer (she was 29 years old when this song was first recorded in 1997), but Barbra is immortal. The richness in Barbra's voice is unmatched by any female singer in the last 100 years at least. And she was already past her prime here at 55; nearly TWICE Celine's age. Simply astounding.
