The words, "There is some love that will not go away", are not performed by Dion in any available version of the song, however, they are still included on Dion's official site. In the Let's Talk about Love album booklet, the lyrics of the song contain an additional line between a second chorus and the final verse.
This version appears on the 4-track maxi single as well as on Dion's album, Let's Talk About Love. When the single was to be released to radio, it was produced further by Walter Afanasieff who added string and electric guitar, as well as rearranged portions of the song. The single also played over the ending credits of the film. Franglen mixed the final film and soundtrack version, expanding on the demo and adding orchestra to the final chorus. The original Horner/Franglen produced version of the ballad appears on the Titanic soundtrack and has an extended ending with longer, segmented vocalizations by Dion.

After playing it several times, Cameron declared his approval, although worried that he might be criticised for "going commercial at the end of the movie." Cameron also wanted to appease anxious studio executives and "saw that a hit song from his movie could only be a positive factor in guaranteeing its completion." Horner waited until Cameron was in an appropriate mood before presenting him with the song. Her manager and husband René Angélil convinced her to sing on this demo version, which was something she hadn't done for many years. He programmed and arranged an extensive demo to take to Dion. Franglen had worked with Celine Dion for several years on many of her major hits to date. Horner showed the piano sketch to Simon Franglen, who was working with him on electronic textures and synthesizers for the film score. When Dion originally heard the song, she did not want to record it. Director James Cameron did not want such a song, but Will Jennings went ahead anyway and wrote the lyrics.
