Alors que son album en français ("S'il suffisait d'aimer") vient à peine de sortir, Céline continu avec un CD particulièrement élaboré pour Noël. Intitulé "These Are Special Times", il sort le 3 novembre 1998. Cet album a été enregistré en seulement 9 jours à Miami ! Céline avait déjà enregistré deux albums de Noël, l'un en 1981 et l'autre en 1983.
		L'album produit par David Foster, Bryan Adams et Ric Wake est composé de 16 titres dont 6 inédits aussi bien traditionnels que modernes. Après la réussite magistrale de "Let's Talk About Love", Céline semble avoir pris goût aux duos. En effet sur cet album, Céline chante "The Prayer" en duo avec Andréa Bocelli ainsi que "I'm Your Angel" avec R. Kelly. Les deux chansons, "Feliz Navidad" et "Les cloches du hameau", ont été chantés par le clan Dion au complet. En 2007, "These Are Special Times" sort dans les bacs en version remasterisée, en deux formats (voir ci-dessous). Le DVD de la version collector contient l'émission spéciale diffusée sur la chaîne américaine CBS à l'occasion de Thanksgiving en 1998 d'une durée d'environ 45 minutes.

Paroles

1. O Holy Night (Traditional)

O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees

O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night
O night divine

And in His Name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord
Then ever ever praise we

Noel
Noel
O night
O night divine
Noel
Noel
O night
O night divine
Noel
Noel
O night
O holy divine

2. Don't Save It All For Christmas Day (Peter Zizzo, Rick Wake, Céline Dion)

Don't get so busy that you miss
Giving just a little kiss
To the ones you love
Don't even wait a little while
To give them a little smile
A little is enough

How many people are crying
People are dying
How many people are asking for love

Don't save it all for Christmas Day
Find a way
To give a little love everyday
Don't save it all for Christmas Day
Find your way
'Cause holidays have come and gone
But love lives on
If you give on
Love...

How could you wait another minute
A hug is warmer when you're in it
And Baby that's a fact
And saying "I love you's" always better
Seasons, reasons, they don't matter
So don't hold back
How many people in this world
So needful in this world
How many people are praying for love

Don't save it all for Christmas Day
Find a way
To give a little love everyday
Don't save it all for Christmas Day
Find your way
'Cause holidays have come and gone
But love lives on
If you give on
Love...

Let all the children know
Everywhere that they go
Their whole life long
Let them know love

Don't save it all for Christmas Day
Find a way
To give a little love everyday
Don't save it all for Christmas Day
Find your way
Cause holidays have come and gone
But love lives on
If you give on
Love...
Love...

3. Blue Christmas (Jay Johnson, Bill Hayes)

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red
On a green Christmastree
Won't be the same
If you're not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'
And when those blue melodies start callin'
You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue blue blue blue Christmas

Decorations of red
On a green Christmastree
Won't be the same
If you're not here with me

I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right
With your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue blue Christmas

4. Another Year Has Gone By (Bryan Adams, Eliot Kennedy)

So many 25th's of December
Just as many 4th of July's
And we're still holding it together
It only comes down to you and I

I know you can still remember
Things we said right from the start
When we said that this could be special
I'm keeping those words deep down in my heart

Another year has gone by
And I'm still the one by your side
After everything that's gone by
There's still no one saying goodbye
Though another year has gone by

I never been much for occasions
You never let another birthday go by
Without announcing how much you love me
But the truth was always there
Right there in your eyes

And we're still holding hands when we're walking
Acting like we've only just met
But how can that be - when there's so much history
I guess that's how true lovers can get

Another year has gone by
And I'm still the one by your side
After everything that's gone by
There's still no one saying goodbye
Though another year has gone by

Another year has gone by
And I'm still the one by your side
After everything that's gone by
There's still no one saying goodbye
Though another year has gone by

5. The Magic Of Christmas Day (D. Snider)

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
It's the season to be jolly
And be thankful for all that we have
All the lights and decorations
Put up in the anticipation
Of the joyful celebration
That's on its way
We're counting the days
'Til it's time for Christmas day

Oh and God bless us everyone
The good and the bad
The happy; the sad
Oh and God bless us everyone
Here's to family and friends
It's good to be here again

On the streets there's children laughing
People smile as they are passing
Christmas time is here, our waiting is done
Wishing it could last forever
Not just twelve days in December
Through the year let's try to remember
That special way
That everyone feels
It's the magic of Christmas day

Oh and God bless us everyone
The good and the bad
The happy; the sad
Oh and God bless us everyone
Here's to family and friends
It's good to be here again

So fill your heart with love and joy
And through the eyes of girls and boys
Share their wonder, live through their joy
It's easy to do, just open your heart
The spirit will come to you

Oh and God bless us everyone
The good and the bad
The happy; the sad
Oh and God bless us everyone
Here's to family and friends
It's good to be here again

6. Ave Maria (Franz Schubert, Sir Walter Scott)

Ave Maria!
Maiden mild
Oh listen to a maiden's pray'r
For thou can hear 'em in the wild
'Tis thou 'tis thou can save amid despair
We slumber safely 'till the 'morrow
Though we by men outcast reviled
Oh Maiden see a maiden's sorrow
Oh Mother hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria!

Ave Maria gracia plena
Maria gratia plena
Maria gratia plena
Ave ave dominus
Dominus tecum

The murky cavern's air so heavy
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smil'd
Oh Maiden hear a maiden pleadin'
Oh Mother hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria!
Ave Maria!

8. The Christmas Song (Mel Torme, Robert Wells)

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows
A turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
And goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know
How to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said
Many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said
Many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
To you

9. The Prayer (Carol Bayer Sager, David Foster)

I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe

- La luce che tu hai -
I pray we'll find your light
- Nel cuore resterà -
And hold it in our hearts
- A ricordarci che -
When stars go out each night,
- Eterna stella sei -
- Nella mia preghiera -
Let this be our prayer
- Quanta fede c'è -
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

- Sognamo un mondo senza più violenza -
- Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza -
- Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino -
- Simbolo di pace, di fraternità -

- La forza che ci dà -
We ask that life be kind
- È il desiderio che -
And watch us from above
- Ognuno trovi amor -
We hope each soul will find
- Intorno e dentro sé -
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer, just like every child

Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
È la fede che
Hai acceso in noi,
Sento che ci salverà

10. Brahms' Lullaby (Johannes Brahms)

Lullaby and good night
In the sky stars are bright
'Round your head flowers gay
Set you slumbers till day

Lullaby and good night
In the sky stars are bright
'Round your head flowers gay
Set you slumbers till day

Close your eyes now and rest
May these hours be blessed
Close your eyes now and rest
May these hours be blessed

Bonne nuit cher enfant
Dans tes langes blancs
Repose joyeux
En rêvant des cieux

Quand le jour reviendra
Tu te réveilleras
Quand le jour reviendra
Tu te réveilleras

Lullaby and good night
In the sky stars are bright
'Round your head flowers gay
Set you slumbers till day

12. These Are The Special Times (Diane Warren)

In these moments, moments of our lives
All the world is ours
And this world is so right
You and I sharing this time together
Sharing the same dream
As the time goes by we will find

These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times
The tender times we'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times
These times together
And through it all, one thing will always be true
The special times are the times I share with you

With each moment, moment passing by
We'll make memories that will last all our lives
As you and I travel through time together
Living this sweet dream
And every day we can say

These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times
The tender times we'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times
These times together
And through it all, one thing will always be true
The special times are the times I share with you

These tender moments
When heaven is so close
These are the moments that I know

These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times
The tender times we'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times
These times together
And through it all, one thing will always be true
The special times are the times I share
Are the times we share, are the times I share with you
Special times I share with you

13. Happy Xmas (War Is Over) (John Lennon, Yoko Ono)

So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young

A very merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The war is so long
And so happy Xmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

A very merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so happy Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young

A very merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun

14. I'm Your Angel (R. Kelly)

No mountain's too high for you to climb
All you have to do is have some climbing faith, oh yes
No rivers too wide for you to make it accross
All you have to do is believe it when you pray

And then you will see
The morning will come
And everyday will be bright as the sun
All of your fears
Cast them on me
I just want you to see

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll hear your voices when you call me
I am your Angel
And when all hope is gone, I'm near
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your Angel
I'm your Angel

I saw the teardrops, and I heard you cry
All you need is time
Seek me and you shall find
You have everything and you're still lonely
It don't have to be this way
Let me show you a better day

And then you will see
The morning will come
And all of your days will be bright as the sun
So all of your fears
Just cast them on me
How can I make you see

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll hear your voices when you call me
I am your Angel
And when all hope is gone, I'm near
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your Angel
I'm your Angel

And when it's time to face the storm
I'll be right by your side
Grace will keep up safe and warm
And I know we will survive

And when it seems as if your end is drawing near
Don't you dare give up the fight
Just put your trust beyond the sky

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll hear your voices when you call me
I am your Angel
And when all hope is gone, I'm near
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your Angel
I'm your Angel

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll hear your voices when you call me
I am your angel
And when all hope is gone, I'm near
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your Angel
I'm your Angel

16. Les Cloches Du Hameau (Johannes Brahms)

Joyeusement L'On Chante

On Entend, On Entend
Les Bergers, Les Bergers

Ces Refrains Si Légers
Qui Charment Leurs Amies:
Tra La La, Tra La La La La La
