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
Near, Far
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
