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 

-- 

(Jean-Jacques Goldman / Phil Galdston)

Celine Dion "If I Were You" (Celine Dion 1992 )

If I Were You

She can feel you 

Drifting far away 

But she can't see through 

What you do not say 

Take a step back 

Don't lose your ground 

Remember how you felt before 

And if you care about her 

Show her that you're sure 

If I were you 

My prized possessions 

Would be the ones I'd hold so close 

'Cause when you lose your love 

You lose what means the most 

If I were you 

I'd hold affection 

Higher than any star in sight 

Take this to heart 

And you'll never part 

These are the things that I would do 

If I were you 

Simple pleasures 

The hardest to be found 

Can't be measured 

Till they're not around 

Maybe she'll go 

Maybe she'll stay 

But she'd rather go than fade away 

Sometimes the sweetest sorrow 

Is the saddest fate 

(Chorus) 

Take a step back 

Don't lose your ground 

Remember how you felt before 

And if you care about her 

Show her that you're sure 

If I were you 

I'd hold affection 

Higher than any star in sight 

Take this to heart 

And you'll never part 

These are the things that I would do 

If I were you 

Take this to heart 

You'll never part 

These are the things that I would do 

If I were you

Celine Dion "Show Some Emotion" ( Celine Dion 1992)

Celine's second English language album, simply titled 'Celine Dion,' was by far her most accomplished recording to date with selections from such notable songwriters as Diane Warren and Prince . The album was recorded in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Morin Heights, Quebec between October 1991 and February of 1992.

Show Some Emotion

I've tried my best for so long 

To break down these walls 

But you build them strong 

So I stand here waiting, wondering why 

Oh why 

Why don't you give a little bit 

Break down give a little bit 

Show, show some emotion 

Open, open your heart, ooh 

Set free an ocean 

Only a feeling can save us now 

You say you've been hurt 

Well you're not alone 

As you race through this life what you keep to yourself 

Can turn you to stone 

All it would take is one kind word 

To be heard 

Come on and give a little bit 

Try to forgive a little bit 

Show, show some emotion 

Open, open your heart 

Set free an ocean 

Only a feeling can save us now 

(Solo) 

Show, show some emotion 

Open, open your heart 

Set free an ocean 

Only a feeling can save us now 

Show, show some emotion 

Open, open your heart 

Set free an ocean 

Only a feeling can save us now

Celine Dion "Fly" (Falling Into You 1996)

Fly

Fly, fly little wing 

Fly beyond imagining 

The softest cloud, the whitest dove 

Upon the wind of heaven's love 

Past the planets and the stars 

Leave this lonely world of ours 

Escape the sorrow and the pain 

And fly again 

Fly, fly precious one 

Your endless journey has begun 

Take your gentle happiness 

Far too beautiful for this 

Cross over to the other shore 

There is peace forevermore 

But hold this mem'ry bittersweet 

Until we meet 

Fly, fly do not fear 

Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear 

Your heart is pure, your soul is free 

Be on your way, don't wait for me 

Above the universe you'll climb 

On beyond the hands of time 

The moon will rise, the sun will set 

But I won't forget 

Fly, fly little wing 

Fly where only angels sing 

Fly away, the time is right 

Go now, find the light 

-- 

(Jean-Jacques Goldman / Phil Galdston)

Celine Dion "I Feel To Much" (Unison 1990 )

On This Day in April 2, 1991 Celine Dion recording her first ever English language album , 'Unison,' has been argued to be the true beginning of the superstar as we know her today. Selecting material from such noted writers as Paul Bliss, Aldo Nova, Tom Keane, and David Foster, the collection is truly stunning. 

The release of 'Unison' marked a bold declaration of independence, and a border breaking recording that took Celine into studios in London, Los Angeles, and New York. 

I Feel To Much

I just wanted you to talk to me 

But baby you captured my heart so easy 

And I know love, baby when I see it 

Boy when you're near me that's the 

Feeling I get 

It's pure emotion inside of me 

And all I know is I feel... 

Too much, too much baby all I do is think 

About you night and day I feel too - 

Too much, too much baby don't let go 'cause 

It's my heart you're takin' 

The spell that I'm under I can't undo 

But baby I wonder do you feel it too 

A classic case of infatuation 

Is it possible that I feel... 

It's a serious connection when I look into your eyes 

When you show me your affection, it's more than I realized 

-- 

(Tom Keane / Eric Pressly)

Celine Dion : 25th Anniversary of ''Unison''

UNISON, Celine's first English-language album, was launched Today, April 2nd, 1990, at the Metropolis in Montreal 25 years ago today. 1600 people attended the event, which served as a mini-concert and was televised live, a first for the Montreal music industry. In another first, Celine spoke and responded to journalists in English at the launch.

At the time, Celine had this to say about the album: "CBS and Rene have been working on the album for 3 years. They received between 200 and 300 demos and listened to every single one. You never know what to expect. They chose about 50 songs. Rene knows what I like. After I listened to this selection, we decided to keep 20, recorded 15 and eventually chose 10 for the album.”
