Needless to say, the song holds a special place in my heart because of all that.

It was also the first time I had ever sang to my father. It was the first time I had ever danced with my father (I didn't have a traditional wedding, so I had no "daddy/daughter" dance) and, as we danced, I sang along with this. At my parents' 50th anniversary party, when this song played, I danced with my father.
#My heart will go on song in history movie
Siahara Shyne Carter from United StatesI love the MUSIC VIDEO its like in The Movie "Titanic" where The Titanic crash I see two old couple kissing before they Die! Plus Celine Dion's Voice get high.When James told me the script, I focused on Rose and thought of Beatrice Wood, who was old enough to have been Rose, and I still had the feeling I had of the life force I felt when I touched Beatrice Wood's hand, and it was from this feeling that I wrote the lyric for 'My Heart Will Go On.' When James and I were working on the film, the rumor was that Jim Cameron had gone crazy in Mexico spending too much money and the film would be a big flop. When she shook my hand I had such a feeling of vitality and life force - it was like nothing in my life before or since. Wood herself showed up, very much alive and lively, 101-plus, and talked about the film before it was shown and then received all of the people at the premiere at a hotel across the street from the theatre where the film was shown. My wife and I happened to be in Ojai when the premiere of a film called Mama of Dada, a documentary about Wood's life, was shown and we went to see it and Ms. Wood had been an artist in New York before World War I and had lived and worked in France, and wound up in California and finally in Ojai, working as a fine arts potter. The character Rose, looking back over the all those years, caught my imagination and I connected her with a 100-plus-year-old woman, still working, still vital, Beatrice Wood, who I had met a few years before in Ojai, California, an hour or so north of where I lived in Westlake Village. James told me the story of the script and then played me the theme he had written for the film. In a Songfacts interview with Jennings, he told us the inspiration behind the lyrics to this song: "James Horner, who I had worked with on other films, asked me to come to his house and consider writing something for Titanic. Jennings is a prolific lyricist who worked with Steve Winwood on many of his hits and also wrote songs for Rodney Crowell, Barry Manilow, Eric Clapton, B.B.
