That's The Way It Is

Céline Dion

I can read your mind
And I know your story
I see what you're going through, yeah

It's an uphill climb
And I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you, yeah

Don't surrender
Cause you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most
There's no easy way out
When you're ready to go
And your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When you question me
For a simple answer
I don't know what to say, no

But it's plain to see
If you stick together
You're gonna find the way, yeah

So don't surrender
Cause you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most
There's no easy way out
When you're ready to go
And your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
That's the way it is

When life is empty
With no tomorrow
And loneliness starts to call (loneliness starts to call)

Baby don't worry
Forget your sorrow
Cause love's gonna conquer it all, all

When you want it the most
There's no easy way out
When you're ready to go
And your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
(And that's the way it is
There's no easy way out
When you're ready to go
And your hearts left to doubt)
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

    You need counseling elnino if you are taking your break-up fustrations out on this song. It happens to be my favorite song of all time and I keep it fresh by not overplaying it too much. The beat of this song is by far the best I have ever heard, especially the first few seconds. The lyrics show that true love can be difficult to capture and that it takes a period of suffering to know who your true love is. -RG

    He would need counselling if he took it out on real people.

    um... she didn't write 'my heart will go on'. no, i don't recall any of her songs being written by her. and everyone must admit that she does have at least a strong voice, if not a beautiful one.

    *celine dion doesn't writer her songs* sorry, but i believe it's important to know that. so here, again: CELINE DION DOESN'T WRITE HER SONGS. I'm not trying to be a pain or anything, and I'm sorry if I sound mean, but I just want everyone to know that.

    I like this song...it kind of tells one to keep going no matter what and that love will find you if you don't give up on it.

    So she doesn't write her own songs? Oh boo fucking hoo. Who really gives a crap? She has a good voice. And to those who say "She can't sing shit", a little jealous maybe? You probably wouldn't know talent if it came up and bit you in the fucking ass. If she didn't have a good voice to begin with. She wouldn't be where she is today. This is one of my favourite songs that she sings. Not only was it the last one she did before taking a break, it's one that seems to have had the most influence. It seems to be the only upbeat one did she had so far in her career, so that's why its become a favourite of mine.

    Don't give up on true love. It'll always conquer. Sometimes it isn't easy. When you meet the person you're supposed to be with, you'll know. Love may test you. Love may fail you. Love may break you. But don't give up. Walk by faith, not by sight.
