[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 my 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 'til we're gone (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 my 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

Thank you so much, everybody

...

Good night

...

Good night Boston

...
