"Miles to Go (Before I Sleep)" is a song by Canadian singer Celine Dion from her fifteenth studio album, Let's Talk About Love (1997). It was written and produced by Canadian singer-songwriter Corey Hart. Although not released as a single, the song received adult contemporary airplay in Canada, reaching number 17 on the AC chart in November 1998.
"Miles to Go (Before I Sleep)" and "Where Is the Love" were written and produced by Corey Hart for Dion's 1997 album, Let's Talk About Love.[1] The title references the closing line of the 1923 poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.[2] In the poem, "sleep" symbolizes death, suggesting that there is much to accomplish before life ends.[2] Hart's lyrics apply the phrase metaphorically to love: "every breath I take for love, I could never be wrong, the journey is long, with miles to go before I sleep".[2]
Thanks to "Miles to Go (Before I Sleep)" and "Where Is the Love", Hart received a nomination for the Juno Award for Producer of the Year in 1998.[3] In 1999, he served as the opening act for Dion during the North American leg of her Let's Talk About Love World Tour.[4] Hart later wrote "Prayer" for Dion's 2002 album, A New Day Has Come.[5]
