Miracle est une collaboration unique de deux artistes reconnues mondialement. Anne Geddes et Céline Dion nous offrent une collection d’images et de chansons remarquables.
Rares sont les occasions où Céline a chanté avec autant de tendresse et d’émotion. Cette collection touchante de chansons et d’images rend hommage à l’amour puissant et intouchable qui unit une mère et son bébé.
Exaltant et fascinant, le livre de 180 pages contient plus de 100 photographies d’Anne Geddes. Le livre comprend des photos de Céline avec des bébés, plus des photos de bébés tous seuls comme seule Anne Geddes arrive à les photographier. Le livre est accompagné du CD Miracle et du DVD du « making of » du livre.
You’re my life’s one miracle
Everything I’ve done that’s good
And you break my heart with tenderness
And I confess it’s true
I never knew a love like this ’til you
You’re the reason I was born
Now I finally know for sure
And I’m overwhelmed with happiness
So blessed to hold you close
The one that I love most
Though the future has so much for you in store
Who could ever love you more?
The nearest thing to heaven
You’re my angel from above
Only God creates such perfect love
When you smile at me, I cry
And to save your life I’d die
With a romance that is pure in heart
You are my dearest part
Whatever it requires
I live for your desires
Forget my own, your needs will come before
Who could ever love you more?
There is nothing you could ever do
To make me stop loving you
And every breath I take
Is always for your sake
You sleep inside my dreams and know for sure
Who could ever love you more?
(Steve Dorff / Linda Thompson)
Lullaby and good night
In the sky stars are bright
Around your head
Flowers gay
Set your slumbers till day
Lullaby and good night
In the sky stars are bright
Around your head flowers gay
Set your slumbers till day
Close your eyes now and rest
May these hours be blessed
Close your eyes now and rest
May these hours be blessed
Bonne nuit cher enfant
Dans tes langes blanches
Repose joyeux en rêvant des cieux
Quand le jour reviendra
Tu te réveilleras
Quand le jour reviendra
Tu te réveilleras
Lullaby and good night
In the sky stars are bright
Around your head flowers gay
Set your slumbers till day
(Johannes Brahms)
If I could
I’d protect you from the sadness in your eyes
Give you courage in a world of compromise
Yes, I would
If I could
I would teach you all the things I’ve never learned
And I’d help you cross the bridges that I’ve burned
Yes, I would
If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isn’t mine
I’ve watched you grow
So I could let you go
If I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
But I know that I could never cry your tears
But I would
If I could
Yes, if I live
In a time and place where you don’t want to be
You don’t have to walk along this road with me
My yesterday won’t have to be your way
If I knew
I would try to change the world I brought you to
And there isn’t very much that I could do
But I would
If I could
Oh baby
I just want to protect you
And help my baby through the hungry years
’Cause you’re part of me
And if you ever ever ever need
I said a shoulder to cry on
Or just someone to talk to
I’ll be there, I’ll be there
I didn’t change your world
But I would
If I could
(Ron Miller / Ken Hirsch / Marti Sharron)
Now hush
My little one
Don’t be afraid
Your daddy’s right here
It’s just
A little dream
And now it’s gone
There’s nothing to fear
So close your eyes
I’ll sing a sweet lullaby
Lay your head close to my heart
(chorus)
And sleep tight the angels hover over you
They spread their wings to keep you safe and warm
The starlight in the heavens high above you
Will light a path to find your way back home
Sleep tight
And now my sleepy head your carriage waits
To take you off to bed
Let go your tiny hands and drift away to a bright enchanted land
I promise you, your sweetest dreams will come true
Now leave this weary world behind
(chorus)
So close your eyes and wish upon the brightest star
’Cause when you dream, tt doesn’t matter where you are
Near to me or very far, I’ll always be with you
(whispered)
Sleep tight
Sleep tight
Sleep tight
(chorus)
Yeah I’ll keep you safe
Safe and warm
(Richard Page / Jon Lind / John Lang)
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying “how do you do?”
They’re really saying “I love you”
I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
(George Weiss / Robert Thiele)
My precious one, my tiny one
Lay down your pretty head
My dearest one, my sleepy one
It’s time to go to bed
My precious one, my darling one
Don’t let your lashes weep
My cherished one, my weary one
It’s time to go to sleep
Just bow your head And give your cares to me
Just close your eyes and fall into the sweetest dream, cause in my loving arms
You’re safe as you will ever be so hush my dear and sleep
And in your dreams you’ll ride on angels’ wings
Dance with the stars and touch the face of god
And if you should awake
My precious one, my tiny one
I’ll kiss your little cheek
And underneath the smiling moon
I’ll sing you back to sleep
(Peer Astrom / Stephanie Bentley)
I pray you'll be my eyes
And watch her where she goes
And help her to be wise
Help me to let go
Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe
I pray she finds your light
And holds it in her heart
As darkness falls each night
Remind her where you are
Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Need to find a place
Guide her with your grace
Give her faith so she'll be safe
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe
(David Foster / Carole Bayer Sager)
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies my love
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move through my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart so close to mine
The first time ever I saw your face
Your face, your face, your face
(Ewan MacColl)
Sun is creeping down behind the hill
Everything is calm, everything is still
So baby close your eyes and rest your weary mind
Let me hold you close, I’ll sing you this lullaby
Let your worries go, you fall asleep
Think of nothing more, memories will keep
Your dreams will turn to gold and you will wake and find
That you hold a smile all day from this lullaby
Maybe somewhere in the silence
You may wake and you’re all alone
Just call and I’ll be there
even when I’m gone, each day will end
so I’ll say good night, till we meet again
Now baby close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I’ll let you know the joy you bring
Every time you hear me sing you this lullaby
(Carol Welsman / Romano Musumarra)
I will always love you
Mo matter what
No matter where you go
Or what you do knowing you
You gonna have to do things your own way
And that’s okay
So be free, spread your wings
And promise me just one thing
(chorus)
If you ever need a place to cry
Baby come to me
Come to me
I’ve always known that you were born to fly
But you can come to me
If the world breaks your heart
No matter where on earth you are
You can come to me
Don’t walk around with the world on your shoulders
And your highest hopes laying on the ground
I know you think you’ve gotta try to be my hero
But don’t you know the stars you wish upon they fall that’s true
But I still believe in you
(chorus)
And those seven seas you sail
Or the winding road you roam
Leave you lost and feeling all alone
Let my heart be your beacon home
(Beverley Mahood / Thomas Wade)
Une chanson douce
Que me chantait ma maman
En suçant mon pouce
J'écoutais en m'endormant
Cette chanson douce
Je veux la chanter pour toi
Car ta peau est douce
Comme la mousse des bois
La petite biche est aux abois
Dans le bois se cache le loup ouh!
Mais le brave chevalier passa
Il prit la biche dans ses bras
La, la, la, la.
La petite biche
Ce sera toi, si tu veux
Le loup, on s'en fiche
Contre lui, nous serons deux
Une chanson douce
Pour tous les petits
Une chanson douce
Que me chantait ma maman
O le joli conte que voilà
La biche en femme se changea
La, la, la, la
Et dans les bras du beau chevalier
Belle princesse elle est restée
A tout jamais
Une chanson douce
Que me chantait ma maman
En suçant mon pouce
J'écoutais en m'endormant
Cette chanson douce
Je veux la chanter aussi
Pour toi, ô ma douce
Jusqu'à la fin de ma vie
(refrain)
(Maurice Pon / Henri Salvador)
Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monster’s gone,
He’s on the run and your mommy’s here,
(chorus)
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy
Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day in every way,
It’s getting better and better,
(chorus)
Out on the ocean sailing away,
I can hardly wait,
To see you come of age,
But I guess we’ll both just have to be patient,
Cuz it’s a long way to go,
A hard row to hoe
Yes it’s a long way to go but in the meantime,
Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is what happens to you,
While you’re busy making other plans,
(chorus)
Before you go to sleep, say a little prayer,
Every day, in ev’ry way
Ot’s getting better and better.
(chorus)
(John Lennon)
There's a tree
Standing there
In such an ordinary way
But as I look around
Everything keeps changing
There's a leaf
On that tree
And it floats into a stream
And like everything
It gets carried away
to the sea...
(chorus)
But if we give a little of our love away
Maybe meet in the middle
Every night and day
If we could hear just a whisper
Of what the heart needs to say
It could sure make a difference
In some small...
In some small way
In your heart lies the key
That unlocks your destiny
Look within and we'll find
Everything we're longing for
(chorus)
Oh...
May you cherish each moment you live
And know all the love that you give
Will go on and on and on...
There's a sky vast and blue
And it lies deep inside of you
Breathe it in
Let it out
Breathe it in again...
(chorus)
(Richard Page / David Tyson)
