noredirect/Celine 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" by Celine Dion are a powerful and emotional expression of the enduring quality of love. The song was written for the 1997 film Titanic, which tells the story of a young couple's love affair that takes place on the ill-fated ship. The lyrics are primarily about the singer's deep and abiding love for someone, who she believes is always with her, even though they may be far away or even gone. The song is a tribute to the power of love to transcend time and distance.
The opening verses of the song set the scene for a dreamlike state where the singer sees and feels the presence of the person she loves. She senses that they are there with her, despite the vast distance between them, and that they are still present in her heart. The chorus emphasizes the belief that the heart does go on, a message that is repeated throughout the song. The singer acknowledges that love can be fleeting, but when it is true, it lasts forever.
In the middle of the song, the singer recounts a time when she was deeply in love with the person she is singing about. The love they shared is described as a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will always be a part of her life. The final verse is a declaration that the person she loves is still with her, and that they will always be together. The song ends with a message of hope and promise, that love will prevail even after death.

Every night in my dreams
Each night when I dream, I envision you
I see you, I feel you

And last for an eternity
And never let go 'til we're gone
And never release until we depart

One true time I'd hold to
A solitary moment I would clutch onto
In my life, we'll always go on
Throughout my existence, we will persevere
You're here, there's nothing I fear
You are present, and I have no apprehension
And I know that my heart will go on
And I am confident that my spirit will thrive
We'll stay forever this way
We will remain permanently intertwined
You are safe in my heart and
You are secured within my soul
My heart will go on and on
And my passion will last endlessly
