1. Title of song: “My Heart Will Go On”
2. Author of song: Celine Dion
3. Lyrics:
Every night in my dreams Love was when I loved you
I see you. I feel you. One true time I hold to
That is how I know you go on. In my life we'll always go on
Far across the distance Near, far, wherever you are
And spaces between us I believe that the heart does go on
You have come to show you go on. Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
Near, far, wherever you are And my heart will go on and on
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door There is some love that will not
And you're here in my heart go away
And my heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear,
Love can touch us one time And I know that my heart will go on
And last for a lifetime We'll stay forever this way
And never go till we're one You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
4. Why is this song the most romantic song?
This song is the most romantic song because it is associated with the movie Titanic which
was considered the most romantic movie for a long time. The song is about how love helps
your heart to go on and that is what helps us. The movie was about two people who were on
the Titanic and one of them died. This seems to be the voice of the person who survived
and what she is saying to the boy who died.
5. According to this song, what does it feel like, sound like, look like, etc. to be in
love?
Even though a person may be passed away, they are still with us and you can feel/see them
in your dreams. That is how they continue, through our memory. A person’s heart goes on.
Because the person lives in our hearts, our hearts will go on. Love may only happen once,
but it lasts for a lifetime. As long as the person is in our hearts, we have nothing to fear.
They will stay in love because the person will always be in her heart.
6. According to this song, what are the positive/negative consequences to love?
The positives are that you have no fear and you feel the person. Love touches you. The
negatives are that sometimes the person leaves and you no longer physically see or feel
them, but you can still feel or see them in your dreams.
7. Now using the lyrics (you may add only one or two words of your own such as “a”
“The” etc.) write a found poem (where you rearrange some of the lyrics to form a
new song)
A Heart Goes On Love will once more believe
Far across the distance That your heart is safe.
Near, far, in my dreams We’re one in my life.
I know you go on You’re here, in my heart.
