How can you understand "go on"?

Post by nhatruc »

Dear all.
I've seen "go on" in the My heart will go on song. But I havn't really be able to understand this go on phrase .

Every night in my dreams
I see you. I feel you.
That is how I know you go on.

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
-------------------------------------------------
If someone know, please help me.
I'm expecting for your reply
Your sincerely

In this context go on probably means "continue to exist", "not stop".

Thank guide. Could you explain more. what is continuing?

You have come to show you go on
I believe that the heart does go on
