My Heart Will Go On (Love Theme From ”Titanic”)
Producers
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Mm, mm-mm
About
The main theme song to James Cameron’s blockbuster film Titanic. James Horner first wrote the musical backing as part of the score, taking inspiration from Jethro Tull. Then he decided to add lyrics, courtesy of Will Jennings. After Celine Dion was convinced to record (not her first time doing a movie theme), Horner had to find a day where the notoriously ill-tempered Cameron would be welcoming to show him.
“My Heart Will Go On” then was turned into the end credits theme, and its association with the eventual highest-grossing movie ever (until Cameron topped his own record 11 years later) led to the song topping charts everywhere, as well as an Oscar and two Grammys… and overexposure to the point Titanic star Kate Winslet admits she feels like throwing up when hearing it.
FUN FACT: Celine did not want to record this song, check out her recent interview Andy Cohen. She elaborates on the song process as well.
