Celtic Woman was recorded on September 15, 2004 for PBS Television in The United States at The Helix, Dublin to a sell-out audience. The show was organized by show producer Sharone Browne and musical director and composer David Downes, and produced by Dave Kavanagh. The show was first broadcast in March 2005 in The United States and within weeks the album Celtic Woman reached number one in the World Music charts in America and on Amazon.com charts. Their huge success in Asia and in America has been credited to the already successful megastar Enya and has been called "Riverdance for the Voice". As of July 22, 2006 the group has broken a long standing record in the music business. Their CD has been at the #1 position on the Billboard charts for an amazing 68 weeks.
On October 19th of that year, Celtic Woman was knocked off its No.1 spot on Billboard's World Music Charts, which it had maintained for 82 weeks, by Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration. This put the groups' 2 CDs at Nos. 1 and 2 respectively. Since then, Lisa Lambe has left the group to pursue a solo career.
My Heart Will Go On
Celtic Woman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime
And never let go til 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
The lyrics of "My Heart Will Go On" evoke emotions of love, loss, and hope. The song talks about a profound and deep love that endures even after death. The opening lines of "Every night in my dreams, I see you, I feel you. That is how I know you go on." paint a picture of a love that exists beyond the physical realm. The singer experiences their loved one's presence in their dreams, ensuring that the memory of their love will continue forever.
The following lines, "Far across the distance and spaces between us, you have come to show you go on," suggest that even though there may be physical distance or separation between two people, the love they share will always persist. The next verse talks about how love can transcend time, "Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime and never let go til we're gone."
The chorus, "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," demonstrates that love knows no boundaries and even though the loved one may no longer be physically present, their memory will always remain alive in the heart of the other.
The final lines "We'll stay forever this way, you are safe in my heart, and my heart will go on and on" underline the idea that memories of love will never fade away.

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 'til we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I'd 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…

This song came out the year my 18 your old daughter went missing, I'm 74 and it has a lot of meaning to me. I can't type long because drops of water are coming from somewhere and I don't want to short out my keyboard. Beautiful rendition from beautiful women

Every time I hear this track I start crying. It reminds me of my first wife. She was taken away in 1994 a few years before this song came out. I remember the movie where Jack and Rose are reunited at the end. If that happens to me on my death then all the pain I have been through since the day she left will be worth it.
@patricknissen1084
