Celine Dion "If That's What It Takes" (Falling Into You 1996)

If That's What It Takes

You're the bravest of hearts, you're the strongest of souls 

You're my light in the dark, you're the place I call home 

You can say it's all right, but I know that you're breaking up inside 

I see it in your eyes 

Even you face the night afraid and alone 

That's why I'll be there 

When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend 

Ev'ry beat of my heart, ev'ry day without end 

Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make 

Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes 

If that's what it takes 

You can sleep in my arms, you don't have to explain 

When your heart's crying out, baby, whisper my name 

'Cause I've reached out for you when the thunder is crashing up above 

You've given me your love 

When your smile like the sun that shines through the pain 

That's why I'll be there 

When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend 

Ev'ry beat of my heart, ev'ry day without end 

I will stand like a rock, I will bend till I break 

Till there's no more to give, if that's what it takes 

I will risk everything, I will fight, I will bleed 

I will lay down my life, if that's what you need 

Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make 

Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes 

Through the wind and the rain, through the smoke and the fire 

When the fear rises up, when the wave's ever higher 

I will lay down my heart, my body, my soul 

I will hold on all night and never let go 

Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make 

Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes 

If that's what it takes 

Every day 

If that's what it takes 

Every day
