“Always Be Your Girl” by Celine Dion
In this song, Celine Dion assures her partner of her unwavering love and presence in her life. She shows gratitude for what this person did for her in the past and promises to repay him by always taking care of him.
Despite the fact that the singer is addressing a full grown person like herself, she uses the terms boy and girl to signify the degree of care and love she wants to show. Celine indicates that her partner was the one who gave her a reason to live when she was lost. This is perhaps why she would do everything possible, including melting rain, flying and praying for him, just to make his life better. She further assures him of her presence through thick and thin.
The singer basically intends to strengthen their bond while subtly showing appreciation for her lover. She vows to pick him up in his lowest times of need, and to always stay together to weather every storm.
