My Heart Will Go On
James Horner & Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 (why does the heart 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" sung by Celine Dion in James Horner's song are full of romanticism and passion.

The first verse of the song portrays the singer's memory of his loved one, who passed away but still lives in his heart. The second verse highlights the distance between the two, which could not stop their love from carrying on. The chorus, "Near, far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on," signifies that love has no distance or boundaries, and it can survive forever.
The song then proceeds to explain how love can be so strong that it lasts a lifetime and never fades away. The lyrics say, "Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime, and never let go 'til we're gone." The next line, "Love was when I loved you, one true time I'd hold to," further emphasizes the intensity of the love felt by the singer. The chorus repeats, reinforcing the idea of love being beyond time and distance. The last line, "You are safe in my heart, and my heart will go on and on," represents the singer's willingness to keep the memories of his loved one alive in his heart forever.

Always loved this version, it feels more deep, intimate and emotional, without all the arrangements of the popular version.
