Because You Loved Me

Céline Dion

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful, baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through, through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me, ooh baby

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand, I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love, I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak (you were my strength)
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me, oh

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak (you were my strength)
You were my voice when I couldn't speak (oh, when I couldn't speak)
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me, yeah-yeah

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak (my voice)
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me, oh

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

    I watched Oprah today, and it was on people getting into careers that they have a passion for, and they actually had the lady who wrote this song on there. She was persuaded as child to just give up on writing songs and trying to get them heard by her mother, but with the encouragement of her father she did it, and now she has wrote over 90 top ten hits, and is the most successful female song writer of all time. She wrote this song about her father..for always believing in her.

    This song makes me think of how my parents has always loved me and brought me up well, it also makes me think of God (sorry to be religious here). This song also makes me think of the movie "What a Girl Wants" when she sees the bride dancing with her father.

    This song means a lot to me and it's one of my favorites besides rock.It means a lot since I thought I fell in love with the wrong person, and one year later this person said he loved me so much, so it really means a lot.

    OMG, this song is so sweet. Okay, shut up, I actually do like SOME Celine Dion...not the Titanic song though(*gags*) but this is a good song. I mean, it's sweet....it's talking about how one person changed another's life. You know, like love. She was cold and broken until he came along and gave her a whole new outlook, love does that ya know. I mean it's ultimate love, dude

    I think this song means a girl found a guy and she really loved him and he changed her life in so many ways but some where along the way he left but she will never forget what he had showed her and she wanted to tell the world how much one person could change ur life
