Grammar:

• Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you

  ➔ Simple Present Tense (repeated actions)

  ➔ The "simple present tense" is used to describe actions that happen regularly. Here, the speaker "sees" and "feels" the person every night.

• That is how I know you go on

  ➔ Indirect Question (embedded clause)

  ➔ The phrase "how you go on" functions as a noun clause acting as the object of the verb "know". Instead of a direct question like "How do you go on?", it's embedded into the sentence.

• Near, far, wherever you are

  ➔ Adverbs of Place and Subordinate Clause (wherever)

  ➔ "Near" and "far" are adverbs of place. "Wherever you are" is a subordinate clause indicating any location. The adverb "wherever" combines "where" and "ever" to mean 'at any place'.

• I believe that the heart does go on

  ➔ Emphasis with Auxiliary Verb "do"

  ➔ The auxiliary verb "does" is used for emphasis. Instead of simply saying "the heart goes on," "does" is added to emphasize the truth of the statement.

• Love can touch us one time

  ➔ Modal Verb "can" (possibility/ability)

  ➔ The modal verb "can" expresses the possibility of love touching us once. It indicates that it is possible, although not guaranteed, that love will impact us.

• And never let go until we're gone

  ➔ Negative Imperative and Time Clause (until)

  ➔ "Never let go" is a negative imperative, a strong suggestion not to do something. "Until we're gone" is a time clause indicating when the action of not letting go should last until.

• Love was when I loved you

  ➔ Past Tense and defining/identifying "love"

  ➔ The simple past tense "was" and "loved" are used to define love in the past, specifically at the time when the speaker loved the person. This suggests a specific instance or period is being referenced.

• We'll stay forever this way

  ➔ Future Simple with "will" and adverb of time "forever"

  ➔ "We'll stay" uses the future simple tense to express a future intention or prediction. The addition of "forever" emphasizes the permanence and duration of this state.
