Open your eyes, Rose, and see how we fly,
Across the horizon and the beautiful, dark sky.
How I wish we could keep this magical moment,
When the both of us are flying over the ocean.

Remember me when I am gone,
Remember me, your heart will go on.
Do not weep, when I am away,
Because in your heart, I will always stay.

On the ship of dreams, I first saw you,
You were loved, but you didn't have a clue.
Winning the ticket on board the ship,
Was the best memory I will always keep.

So open your eyes, Rose, and look ahead,
I am here with you, don't be afraid.
You trusted me with all your heart, And you promised that you wouldn't give up.

Remember, Rose, those times so sweet,
Remember me when you go to sleep.
To everyone, I may be gone,
But in your heart, I am still holding on.

"Few young actors know how to look at a woman the way he does. He doesn’t just want to see through to her soul, he seems to want to ask it politely....tenderly.....as if his life depended on it....if it would like to dance."
(from a review of Titanic 1998 by New York film critic Janet Maslin

Comments from James Cameron in this excerpt taken from a Newsweek article from Feb. '98...

The thing about Jack Dawson--and what made him difficult to play for a child of the '90s like DiCaprio--is that he doesn't have a dark side. DiCaprio had never played a character without demons. "How do you do that?" DiCaprio says. "I was asking Jim: 'Can't we add some dark things to this character?' And he was like, 'No, Leo, you can't. You just have to accept that he is like a ray of light. The character lights up the screen and lights up this girl's life'."

"A lot of people who don't know Leo thought he was just playing himself," says Cameron. "Which is so far from the truth. Actors always gravitate to the guy with the biggest problem. He had to mesmerize an audience without any tricks."
