Titanic: My Heart Will Go On
Various Artists 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 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

The Titanic is STILL stacking bodies in 2023… absolutely wild stuff.

Never mess with a cursed ship 🚢

@Cheeto_Fingerz

@@thegoogleplus1791 Exactly. There’s no way it’s NOT cursed, with all those hundreds of poor souls that went down with it. Just absolutely no way. People need to get a clue and leave them alone to Rest In Peace. That’s not something we need to be messing with.

@thegoogleplus1791

@@Cheeto_Fingerz Sadly you'll have people who will still want to take a chance on trying to see the Titanic and the ship will claim more lives the ship is way down in the very deep ocean for one reason to be left alone people need to understand that.
