Google – lyrics celine dion "I am alive"

  I get wings to fly
Oh,... oh … I'm alive …
Yeah

When you call on me
When I hear you
Breathe
I get wings to fly
I feel that I’m alive

When you look at me
I can touch the sky
I know that I’m alive
Mmmmm Ohhhhh Ahhhhhh

When you bless
The day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I’m glad that I’m
Alive

You’ve set my heart
On fire
Filled me with love
Made me a woman on
Clouds above

I couldn’t get
Much higher
My spirit takes flight
Cause I am alive
OHHHHH

When you call on me
When you call on me
When I hear you Breathe
When I hear you breathe
I get wings to fly
(Fly)
I feel that I’m alive
(I'm alive)

When you reach
For me
Raising spirits high
God knows that

That I’ll be the one
Standing by

Through good and
Through
Trying times

And it’s only begun
I can’t wait for the
Rest of my life

When you call on me
When you call on me
When you reach for me
When you reach for me
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive
Yeah

When you bless
The day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I know that I’m alive

I get
Wings to fly
God knows that I’m alive

nice song!:)

now.. my:

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
Is made up on your side

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

I never felt this way before
Everything that I do
Reminds me of you
And the clothes you left
They lie on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take

[When You're Gone lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah Yeah

All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me
Yeah

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And When you're gone
The words I need to hear will always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

what about this?



Smile, without a reason why 
Love, as if you were a child 
Smile, no matter what they tell you 
Don’t listen to a word they say 
‘Cause life is beautiful that way 

Tears, a tidal-wave of tears 
Light that slowly disappears 
Wait, before you close the curtain 
There’s still another game to play 
And life is beautiful that way 

Here, in his eyes forever more 
I will always be as close 
as you remember from before. 

Now, that you’re out there on your own 
Remember, what is real and 
what we dream is love alone. 

Keep the laughter in your eyes 
Soon, your long awaited prize 
We’ll forget about our sorrow 
And think about a brighter day 
‘Cause life is beautiful that way 

We’ll forget about our sorrow 
And think about a brighter day 
‘Cause life is beautiful that way 

There’s still another game to play 
And life is beautiful that way

Once I spoke the language of the lover,


Once I understood each word the lover said,


Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the shahbas,


And shared a conversation with the housewife


in my bed.


Once I heard and answered all the questions


of the lover,


And joined the crying of each problems


of her,


Once I spoke the language of the lover. . . .


How did it go?


How did it go?

I’m also trying to listen more English songs and dramas to practice english.  In my opinion, I think watching drama with English subtitle is a great way to improve listening and reading LOL

Songs and poetry are a difficult way to learn English. Rap and hip-hop, especially, will make references to Western popular culture sometimes dozens of times in a song. Also, a big thing in songs is ‘wordplay’ or artistic language- which although beautiful, if you take the time to understand it, won’t be too practical for everyday spoken English.  
 
That said, if you have a particular song you want explained, I’ll give it a go :)
