創作背景
《Because You Loved Me》的創作靈感來源於詞曲作者黛安·華倫的父親,而她創作這首歌曲的目的,亦是為了感謝父親在她15歲的時候,給予她音樂事業方面的鼓勵和支持 。在席琳·迪翁和黛安·華倫分別完成了歌曲的錄唱和音樂後,溫貝托·加蒂卡便將他們兩人分別錄好的歌聲和製作完成的音樂合併成歌曲 。
歌曲歌詞
英文
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 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
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 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 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
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 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 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

為了無數次你的支持
為了所有你讓我明白的真理
為了你帶給我的無窮歡樂
為了你更正的所有錯誤
為了你使之成真的每一個夢想
為了你給我的全部的愛
我將永遠心存感激
讓我振作起來的你
對我永不放棄
你伴我度過
這一切的一切
當我虛弱無力時,你就是我的力量之源
當我緘默不語時,你就是我的口舌代言
當我視而不見時,你就是我的明亮雙眼
你發現了最好的我
當我無力攀登時,你把我托起
你對我堅貞不渝
因為你相信我就是我
因為你愛我。
你給我雙翅,讓我可以展翅高飛
你拉我的手,讓我可以碰觸天空
我灰心之時,你幫我重拾信心
你說沒有做不到的事情
有你的支持,我就有了勇氣
有了你的愛,便有了一切
衷心感謝你給我的每一天
也許除此之外我所知不多
但我對你的愛,我深信不疑
被你所愛是上天眷顧
當我虛弱無力時,你就是我的力量之源
當我緘默不語時,你就是我的口舌代言
當我視而不見時,你就是我的明亮雙眼
你發現了最好的我
當我無力攀登時,你把我托起
你對我堅貞不渝
因為你相信我就是我
因為你愛我
你總是在那兒守侯著我
像一陣輕風,將我托起
你的愛就如黑暗中閃耀的光芒
你就是我生活的激情
你讓所有的謊言都不存在
因為有你,我的世界更美好
