IF THAT’S WHAT IT TAKES
By
Celine Dion
***************
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
I KNOW WHAT LOVE IS
***************
I was forgotten
Until you called my name
Lost in the shadows
Until you shined your light my way
Now I believe again
In all my dreams again
I’m wide eyed and innocent
Those doubting days
Are so far away and oh
I will fall
And you will catch me always
Time has taught me this
I will fly
And you’ll be there to guide me
Straight up to my heart’s highest wish
I feel you close to me
And I know what love is
Now there’s no mountain
Too high for me to climb
No ocean so wide
That I could not reach the other side
Now I believe in me
Cause you live and breather in me
And nothing can come between
We are one star
No nigh can darken, Oh
I will fall
And you will catch me always
Time has taught me this
I will fly
And you’ll be there to guide me
Straight up to my heart’s highest wish
I feel you close to me
And I know what love is
It’s an unspoken thing
A quiet opening
There are no words that can go that deep
But I know
I know
I will fall
And you will catch me always
Time has taught me this
I will fly
And you’ll be there to guide me
Straight up to my heart’s highest wish
I feel you close to me
And I know what love is
A WORLD TO BELIEVE IN
***************
I’ve seen the tears and the heartache, and I felt the pain
I’ve seen the hatred in so many lives, and lost in vain
And yet through this darkness there’s always a light that shines through
And takes me back home
Takes me back home
All of the promises broken
And all of the songs left unsung
Seems so far away as I make my way back to you
You gave me faith and you gave me a world to believe in
You gave me your love to believe in
And feeling this love I can rise up above
And be strong and be whole once again
I know that dreams we hold on to, can just fade away
And I know that words can be wasted, with so much to say
And I when I feel helpless there’s always a hope that shines through
And makes me believe
Makes me believe
And I see for one fleeting moment
A paradise under the sun
I drift away and I make my way back to you
Life goes on
Can leave all sweet sorrow and pain
And life, hold on
To all that you are
To all that we’ll be
And I can go on once again
Because your love hears my soul once again
I can live and I can dream once again
Because you made me believe
ANOTHER YEAR HAS GONE BY
***************
So many 25th’s of December
Just as many 4th of July’s
And we’re still holding it together
It only comes down to you and I
I know you can still remember
Things we said right from the start
When we said that this could be special
I’m keeping those words deep down in my heart
Another year has gone by
And I’m still the one by your side
After everything that’s gone by
There’s still no one saying goodbye
Though another year has gone by
I never been much for occasions
You never let another birthday go by
Without announcing how much you love me
But the truth was always there
Right there in your eyes
And we’re still holding hands when we’re walking
Acting like we’ve only just met
But how can that be – when there’s so much history
I guess that’s how true lovers can get
Another year has gone by
And I’m still the one by your side
After everything that’s gone by
There’s still no one saying goodbye
Though another year has gone by
Another year has gone by
And I’m still the one by your side
After everything that’s gone by
There’s still no one saying goodbye
Though another year has gone by
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 you don’t give a little bit
Break down and 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 some emotion
Open, open your heart
Set free an ocean
Only a feeling can save us now
Show some emotion
Open, open your heart
Set free an ocean
Only a feeling can save us now
Show some emotion
Open, open your heart
Set free an ocean
Only a feeling can save us now
THE CHRISTMAS SONG
***************
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows
A turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys
And goodies on his sleigh
And every mother’s child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know
How to fly
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it’s been said
Many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it’s been said
Many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
To you
