Because You Love Me (Lyric) by amanda_dcosta

It's waking hours. I walk aimlessly Wondering where my steps would lead me. When I hear your voice whisper to me That you love me. It's not aimless any more My steps progress And my day begins All because you say you love me. No matter what I do during the day No matter where I go; the road I take Hand in hand with you my love, You make my day, Because you love me.

"I don't think I aught to change it just because Celine Dion has a song by that title."

Actually, um, you ought to. Sure, it would have been a good title, and sure Celine's song is awful and totally different. But the fact is that probably half the people who read this thought, ick, that's Celine Dion's title. Do you want people to think that? No. It's not about what people have the right to think about your poem, or whether they're right thinking about it. It's that people DO and WILL associate this with Celine Dion and think it's unoriginal. You don't want that. Not when it's wasting a wonderful opportunity to make up your own phrase/title and maybe have it become as popular as Celine's.
