IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES
Celine Dion
(Jean-Jacques Goldman & Phil Galdston)

You're the bravest of hearts
You're the strongest of souls
You're my light in the dark
You're the place I call home
You can say it's all right
But I know that you're breaking up inside
I see it in your eyes
Even you face the night afraid and alone
That's why I'll be there

When the storm rises up
When the shadows descend
Ev'ry beat of my heart
Ev'ry day without end
Ev'ry second I live
That's the promise I make
Baby, that's what I'll give
If that's what it takes
If that's what it takes

You can sleep in my arms
You don't have to explain
When your heart's crying out
Baby, whisper my name
'Cause I've reached out for you
When the thunder is crashing up above
You've given me your love
When you smile like the sun
That shines through the pain
That's why I'll be there

When the storm rises up
When the shadows descend
Ev'ry beat of my heart
Ev'ry day without end
I will stand like a rock
I will bend till I break
Till there's no more to give
If that's what it takes
I will risk everything
I will fight, I will bleed
I will lay down my life
If that's what you need
Ev'ry second I live
That's the promise I make
Baby, that's what I'll give
If that's what it takes

Through the wind and the rain
Through the smoke and the fire
When the fear rises up
When the wave's ever higher
I will lay down my heart, my body, my soul
I will hold on all night and never let go
Ev'ry second I live
That's the promise I make
Baby, that's what I'll give
If that's what it takes
If that's what it takes
Every day, every day
If that's what it takes
Whatever, whatever, whatever it takes
