My Heart Will Go On
Jessica Hicks 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 '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
