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.

(bridge)

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.

NOTES:

Céline Dion, a Canadian, was born in 
Charlemagne, Province of Quebec, and is noted 
for her powerful voice. She has sold over 220 
million albums throughout the world and her Las 
Vegas shows (2003-2007) were unprecedented in attendance.

This song/lyric is indelibly etched in many people's 
minds because it was the main theme from the blockbuster 
1997 film, Titanic.

Director: James Cameron
Leads: Leonardo DiCaprio / Kate Winslet / Gloria Stuart / 
Frances Fisher / Bernard Hill

This particular song sold over 15+ million copies alone 
in an extremely short span of time. (Contrast best selling 
single of all time, Bing Crosby's White Christmas at > 
50 million since 1944 (Guinness)). It was a huge worldwide 
hit in short order and reached the top of popularity charts 
in many countries.

Many people hold that this song is Céline Dion's signature 
song. Interestingly, despite it's immense popularity, some felt 
that it was overplayed and consequently developed a 'not so kind' 
following, purportedly including one of the Titanic leads, Kate Winslet.

Notwithstanding, the song won a plethora of awards worldwide, not 
the least of which was the 1997 Academy Award for the Best Original 
Song and Best Original Dramatic Score.
