My Heart Will Go On
Doris Day with Frank DeVol & His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I let a song go out of my heart
It was the sweetest melody
I know I lost heaven 'cause you were the song

Since you and I have drifted apart
Life doesn't mean a thing to me
Please come back, sweet music, I know I was wrong
Am I too late to make amends?
You know that we were meant to be more than just friends, just friends

I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, darlin', when I say
I won't know sweet music until you return some day

I let a song go out of my heart




Believe me, darlin', when I say
I won't know sweet music until you return some day
