The lyrics of 'The Power of Love' by
Celine Dion describe the deep emotional connection and love between two people.
The first verse 'The whispers in the morning of lovers sleeping tight are rolling like thunder now as I look in your eyes' hints that the love between the two is so strong that it can overpower even the rumble of thunder. She looks into her partner's eyes and feels this overpowering force.
In the line 'Your voice is warm and tender, a love that I could not forsake' the singer expresses her deep affection and devotion to her partner. His voice is warm and loving, a love that she could not forsake.
The chorus 'Cause I am your lady and you are my man, whenever you reach for me, I'll do all that I can' emphasizes this devotion and the promise to always be there and do everything possible to help or support her partner.
The lines 'Even though there may be times, it seems I'm far away, never wonder where I am, 'Cause I'm always by your side' emphasize that even when it seems she is not physically there, she is always emotionally by his side.
The line 'Sometimes I am frightened, but I'm ready to learn of the power of love' shows that she is ready to confront the power of love, even if she is sometimes afraid. She is ready to have new experiences and understand the true power of love.
At the end of the song, in the lines 'The sound of your heart beating made it clear, Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on is light years away' she realizes that the power of love strengthens her and gives her the feeling that she can accomplish anything, that all her fears and doubts are far away.
Overall, 'The Power of Love' is a sentimental and emotional song that highlights the deep connection, devotion, and transformative power of love.
