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
About This Song

The lyrics express how love can endure beyond physical presence, with the narrator finding comfort in dreams and memories of a lost lover, believing their spiritual connection will persist forever. Musically, the song builds from intimate whispered verses to Dion's signature vocal crescendos, accompanied by sweeping orchestration including the iconic tin whistle melody that evokes both Celtic heritage and oceanic vastness. The song explores themes of grief, remembrance, and the transformative power of true love, suggesting that genuine connection creates an unbreakable bond that "goes on and on" even after death. It became one of the best-selling singles of all time and defined the epic romantic tragedy genre, cementing Dion's status as a global superstar while perfectly capturing the film's themes of love conquering mortality.
