I DONT EVEN HAVE TIME TO THINK ABOUT HOW I FEEL.YOU GOT ME THAT RIGHT" as autumnskies00 saids, I got the meaning of the song, when CELINE talks with LINDA PERRY on the recording session.some quotes:ĬELINE ".

I just wrote a blog entry about watching Celine on "Oprah" from October 2008 (I missed it the first time around), where she sings "My Love."
