"Feelings" is a song based on a melody composed by Loulou Gasté and made famous by Morris Albert, who recorded it as a single released in 1974 that later appeared as the title track of his 1975 debut album. The song's lyrics, recognizable by their "whoa whoa whoa" chorus, concern the singer's inability to "forget my feelings of love". Albert's original recording of the song was very successful, performing well internationally. "Feelings" peaked at #6 on the pop and #2 on the Adult Contemporary charts in America. Over the next few years "Feelings" was performed by many other vocalists including Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, José José, Caetano Veloso, Frank Sinatra, Engelbert Humperdinck, Shirley Bassey, Glen Campbell, The O'Jays, Sarah Vaughan, Walter Jackson, Sergey Penkin, Dobie Gray and Johnny Mathis. It was also recorded by numerous easy listening bandleaders and ensembles such as Percy Faith, Ferrante & Teicher, 101 Strings and Herb Ohta whose ukelele rendition was recorded with Andre Popp's orchestra for A&M Records.

Céline Marie Claudette Dion, CC OQ, (French pronunciation: [selin djɔ̃] ( listen); born March 30, 1968), is a Canadian singer. Born to a large family from Charlemagne, Quebec, Dion emerged as a teen star in the French-speaking world after her manager and future husband René Angélil mortgaged his home to finance her first record. In 1990, she released the English-language album Unison, establishing herself as a viable pop artist in North America and other English-speaking areas of the world.
Dion had first gained international recognition in the 1980s by winning both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest. Following a series of French albums in the early 1980s, she signed on to CBS Records Canada in 1986. During the 1990s, with the help of Angélil, she achieved worldwide fame after signing with Epic Records and releasing several English albums along with additional French albums, becoming one of the most successful artists in pop music history. However, in 1999 at the height of her success, Dion announced a hiatus from entertainment in order to start a family and spend time with her husband, who had been diagnosed with cancer. She returned to the top of pop music in 2002 and signed a three-year (later extended to almost five years) contract to perform nightly in a five-star theatrical show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Paradise, Nevada.

Pour toi
J'ai quitt, ceux que j'aimais
J'ai perdu ceux qui m'aimaient
Ce soir he n'ai que toi...
Sans toi
Le jour ressemble ? la nuit
La vie ressemble ? la mort
Ce soir je n'ai que toi
Tes yeux
Brillent comme le feu
Ta bouche
En a pris la couleur
Ton corps
En a gard, la chaleur
Tes doigts courant sur me peau nue
Ta voix
Mourant dans un soupir
Et moi
Frissonnant de plaisir
Pour toi
J'ai d,truit tout mon pass,
J'ai reni, j'ai oubli,
J'ai fait cela
Pour toi
Vers toi
Vont les r^ves de mes nuits
Vont les d,sirs de ma vie
Ce soir ,coute-moi
Tes yeux
Brillent comme le feu
Ta bouche
En a pris la couleur
Ton corps
En a gard, la chaleur
Tes doigts courant sur me peau nue
Ta voix
Mourant dans un soupir
Et moi
Frissonnant de plaisir...
