Encore Un Soir (One More Night) is Céline Dion’s tender love letter to time itself. Leafing through old photos, she marvels at how quickly “yesterday” slips into the past. She is grateful—life has spoiled her with joy—yet the mirror reminds her that even the richest memories cannot hold back the clock. The song feels like opening a musical scrapbook: faces of children, reflections of herself, and moments so vivid they could still be happening.
Suddenly that nostalgia turns into a heartfelt plea: just one more evening, one more hour, one more tear of happiness. Céline bargains with eternity for a tiny delay, a “light late-arrival” that would let her taste once again the laughter, the kisses, even the mistakes that make life real. She contrasts her wish with people who “kill time” or “invent dreams,” hoping listeners will cherish every second. The result is an emotional blend of gratitude and longing, inviting you to press pause, breathe, and savor the now before it becomes a memory.
