Lyrics:

[English]

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 (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

...

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

...

Grammar:

  • That is how I know you go on

    ➔ Demonstrative pronoun "that" + adverb "how" + relative clause

    ➔ This sentence uses "that" to refer to the previous statement (seeing and feeling the person in dreams) and then uses "how" to introduce the way in which the speaker knows the person continues to exist. "That is how" emphasizes the connection between the dream experience and the belief in the person's enduring presence.

  • Far across the distance and spaces between us, you have come to show you go on

    ➔ Prepositional phrases (Far across the distance and spaces between us) + Present perfect tense (you have come) + Infinitive of purpose (to show)

    ➔ The opening phrase emphasizes the vast separation. "Have come to show" implies a purposeful action of revealing their continued existence, suggesting a deliberate overcoming of obstacles.

  • Near, far, wherever you are

    ➔ Adverbs of place (Near, far) + Adverbial clause of place (wherever you are)

    "Wherever you are" is a dependent clause functioning as an adverb, modifying the implied verb. It means no matter where the person is located. This shows that distance doesn't matter

  • I believe that the heart does go on

    ➔ Verb "believe" + subordinate clause with "that" + emphatic "does"

    ➔ The "does" is used for emphasis. It strengthens the statement "the heart goes on", indicating a deep conviction.

  • Once more, you open the door

    ➔ Adverbial phrase "Once more" + Simple present tense

    "Once more" suggests this action (opening the door) has happened repeatedly. Simple Present implies a recurring action.

  • Love can touch us one time, and last for a lifetime

    ➔ Modal verb "can" + Simple present tense + Coordination with "and"

    "Can" expresses possibility or ability. The sentence expresses the idea that a single instance of love has the potential to endure forever. The conjunction "and" links two related possibilities about the power of love.

  • Love was when I loved you

    ➔ Past Simple Tense + noun clause as a subject complement

    ➔ The sentence uses "was" to link love to the moment of loving "you." The clause "when I loved you" defines or explains what love truly *was* to the speaker. It means that the true essence of love, for the speaker, existed in the act of loving that specific person.

  • You're here, there's nothing I fear

    ➔ Contraction "You're" + Existential "there is/there's" + Relative Clause "that I fear" (omitted relative pronoun)

    ➔ The sentence expresses the speaker's feelings of safety and security due to the presence of someone special. The relative clause “that I fear” (with the omitted “that”) modifies “nothing”, expressing the speaker’s fearlessness.
