Not more than three short years ago
I was abandoned and alone
Without a penny to my name
So very young and so afraid
No proper shoes upon my feet
Sometimes I couldn't even eat
I often cried myself to sleep
But still I had to keep on going
Never knowing if I could take it
If I would make it through the night
I held on to my faith
I struggled and I prayed
And now I've found my way
[Chorus:]
If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
You're gonna make it happen
Make it happen
And if you get down on your knees at night
And pray to the Lord
He's gonna make it happen
Make it happen
I know life can be so tough
And you feel like giving up
But you must be strong
Baby just hold on
You'll never find the answers
If you throw your life away
I used to feel the way you do
Still I had to keep on going
Never knowing if I could take it
If I would make it through the night
I held on to my faith
I struggled and I prayed
And now I've finally found my way
[Chorus]
I once was lost
But now I'm found
I got my feet
On solid ground
Thank you Lord
If you believe
Within your soul
Just hold on tight
And don't let go
You can make it
Make it happen
[Chorus]
If It's Over lyrics - Mariah Carey
Won't you talk to me
This is so out of hand
Out of hand
Something's gone wrong
With the life that we planned
Won't you look at me
You're avoiding my gaze
And it seems like you've changed
In so many ways
[Chorus:]
It isn't fair
It isn't right
If it's really gone
Then tell me tonight
If it's over
If it's over
Let me go
Won't you speak to me
I'm just here holding on
'Cause baby I really don't need to wait around
If the feeling is gone
[Chorus]
I don't need no apologies
I'm not looking for no sympathy
All I'm asking for
Is for your honesty
Won't you give it to me
Give it to me now
It isn't fair
It just isn't right
'Cause if it's really gone
You've got to say the word tonight
If it's over
If it's over
Baby if it's over
Won't you let me know
Baby if it's over
If it's over
Over - let me go
This is so out of hand
Out of hand
Something's gone wrong
With the life that we planned
Won't you look at me
You're avoiding my gaze
And it seems like you've changed
In so many ways
[Chorus:]
It isn't fair
It isn't right
If it's really gone
Then tell me tonight
If it's over
If it's over
Let me go
Won't you speak to me
I'm just here holding on
'Cause baby I really don't need to wait around
If the feeling is gone
[Chorus]
I don't need no apologies
I'm not looking for no sympathy
All I'm asking for
Is for your honesty
Won't you give it to me
Give it to me now
It isn't fair
It just isn't right
'Cause if it's really gone
You've got to say the word tonight
If it's over
If it's over
Baby if it's over
Won't you let me know
Baby if it's over
If it's over
Over - let me go
You're So Cold lyrics - Mariah Carey
Lord only knows
Why I love you so
You're a heartless man
I don't understand
Why you gotta be
Why do you need to be
So cold
[Chorus:]
So cold
How can you be
So cold
So cruel to me
Ice cold
Don't even feel
Your kiss is like fire
But deep down inside
You're so cold
You play games with my mind
Cheat and lie time after time
And I know you'll never change
But I just can't break away
I don't know why
I let you treat me the way you do
You're just no good for me
I wish I never fell for you
[Chorus]
So many times
You keep me waiting aound endlessly
You just laugh as I drown in despair
Never a worry, never a care
I don't know why
I let you hurt me the way you do
You've got a spell on me
I'm hopelessly in love with you
[Chorus]
Made of stone
Oh you're wicked to the bone
I give you my heart
You tear me apart
You're like a devil
In disguise
[Chorus]
Why I love you so
You're a heartless man
I don't understand
Why you gotta be
Why do you need to be
So cold
[Chorus:]
So cold
How can you be
So cold
So cruel to me
Ice cold
Don't even feel
Your kiss is like fire
But deep down inside
You're so cold
You play games with my mind
Cheat and lie time after time
And I know you'll never change
But I just can't break away
I don't know why
I let you treat me the way you do
You're just no good for me
I wish I never fell for you
[Chorus]
So many times
You keep me waiting aound endlessly
You just laugh as I drown in despair
Never a worry, never a care
I don't know why
I let you hurt me the way you do
You've got a spell on me
I'm hopelessly in love with you
[Chorus]
Made of stone
Oh you're wicked to the bone
I give you my heart
You tear me apart
You're like a devil
In disguise
[Chorus]
So Blessed lyrics - Mariah Carey
Lying beside you
This joy is so deep

To Be Around You lyrics - Mariah Carey
Something that you do
Hypnotizes me
Sets my soul at ease
Every time you're near me
I'm in heaven baby
I don't know how you do it
Never felt like this before

I just want
To be the only one you live for

To give you all my love
More and more and more

Close to me
Oh I need you close to me
Loving me
Close to you
How can I get close to you
Help me to

The Wind lyrics - Mariah Carey
The wind has taken you
You're free finally at peace
So still you lie
Leaving your cares behind
The pain is gone
Gone with the spirit in your eyes
Now you're wandering around
Above us
Looking downward
As we cry
You've flown into the wind
Escaping all the hurt within
Took to
To the sky
Leaving the world behind
So young to die
How could you let it all pass you by
And to the wind go so many dreams
That you held inside
Now you're just a memory
Burning in my mind
So young to die
How could you let life pass you by
And now you'll never know I loved you
And now you'll never know I cared
I really loved you
And now you'll never know
You'll only fade
Into the wind
You're free finally at peace
So still you lie
Leaving your cares behind
The pain is gone
Gone with the spirit in your eyes
Now you're wandering around
Above us
Looking downward
As we cry
You've flown into the wind
Escaping all the hurt within
Took to
To the sky
Leaving the world behind
So young to die
How could you let it all pass you by
And to the wind go so many dreams
That you held inside
Now you're just a memory
Burning in my mind
So young to die
How could you let life pass you by
And now you'll never know I loved you
And now you'll never know I cared
I really loved you
And now you'll never know
You'll only fade
Into the wind
Vision Of Love lyrics - Mariah Carey
Treated me kind
Sweet destiny
Carried me through desperation
To the one that was waiting for me
It took so long
Still I believed
Somehow the one that I needed
Would find me eventually
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
Prayed through the nights
Felt so alone
Suffered from alienation
Carried the weight on my own
Had to be strong
So I believed
And now I know I've succeded
In finding the place I conceived
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given me
I've realized a dream
And I visualized
The love that came to be
Feel so alive
I'm so thankful that I've received
The answer that heaven
Has sent down to me
You treated me kind
Sweet destiny
And I'll be eternally grateful
Holding you so close to me
Prayed through the nights
So faithfully
Knowing the one that I needed
Would find me eventually
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you
Turned out to be
Sweet destiny
Carried me through desperation
To the one that was waiting for me
It took so long
Still I believed
Somehow the one that I needed
Would find me eventually
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
Prayed through the nights
Felt so alone
Suffered from alienation
Carried the weight on my own
Had to be strong
So I believed
And now I know I've succeded
In finding the place I conceived
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given me
I've realized a dream
And I visualized
The love that came to be
Feel so alive
I'm so thankful that I've received
The answer that heaven
Has sent down to me
You treated me kind
Sweet destiny
And I'll be eternally grateful
Holding you so close to me
Prayed through the nights
So faithfully
Knowing the one that I needed
Would find me eventually
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you
Turned out to be
There's Got To Be A Way lyrics - Mariah Carey
A broken man without a home
Desperate and so alone
A victim of society
No one really wants to see
Some of us don't even wonder
Some of us don't even care
Couldn't we just help each other
Isn't there enough to share
[Chorus:]
There's got to be a way
To connect this world today
Come together to relieve the pain
There's got to be a way
To unite this human race
And together we'll bring on a change
In another land they still believe
Color grants supremacy
I don't understand
How there can be
Regulated bigotry
Some of us don't even wonder
Some of us don't even care
Couldn't we accept each other
Can't we make ourselves aware
[Chorus]
And maybe then the future will be a time
Without war, destitution, and sorrow
And hungry children won't have to die
If we work together today
We'll save tomorrow
Some of us don't even wonder
Some of us don't even care
Couldn't we just love each other
Isn't there enough to share
[Chorus]
Desperate and so alone
A victim of society
No one really wants to see
Some of us don't even wonder
Some of us don't even care
Couldn't we just help each other
Isn't there enough to share
[Chorus:]
There's got to be a way
To connect this world today
Come together to relieve the pain
There's got to be a way
To unite this human race
And together we'll bring on a change
In another land they still believe
Color grants supremacy
I don't understand
How there can be
Regulated bigotry
Some of us don't even wonder
Some of us don't even care
Couldn't we accept each other
Can't we make ourselves aware
[Chorus]
And maybe then the future will be a time
Without war, destitution, and sorrow
And hungry children won't have to die
If we work together today
We'll save tomorrow
Some of us don't even wonder
Some of us don't even care
Couldn't we just love each other
Isn't there enough to share
[Chorus]
I Don't Wanna Cry lyrics - Mariah Carey
Once again we sit in silence
After all is said and done
Only emptiness inside us
Baby look what we've become
We can make a million promises
But we still won't change
It isn't right to stay together
When you only bring each other pain
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna cry
Don't wanna cry
Nothing in the world
Could take us back
To where we used to be
Though I've given you my heart and soul
I must find a way of letting go
'Cause baby
I don't wanna cry
Too far apart to bridge the distance
But something keeps us hanging on and on
Pretending not to know the difference
Denying what we had is gone
Every moment we're together
It's just breaking me down
I know we swore it was forever
But it hurts too much to stay around
[Chorus]
All the magic's gone
There's just a shadow of a memory
Something just went wrong
We can't go on make-believing
On make-believing
[Chorus]
After all is said and done
Only emptiness inside us
Baby look what we've become
We can make a million promises
But we still won't change
It isn't right to stay together
When you only bring each other pain
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna cry
Don't wanna cry
Nothing in the world
Could take us back
To where we used to be
Though I've given you my heart and soul
I must find a way of letting go
'Cause baby
I don't wanna cry
Too far apart to bridge the distance
But something keeps us hanging on and on
Pretending not to know the difference
Denying what we had is gone
Every moment we're together
It's just breaking me down
I know we swore it was forever
But it hurts too much to stay around
[Chorus]
All the magic's gone
There's just a shadow of a memory
Something just went wrong
We can't go on make-believing
On make-believing
[Chorus]
Someday lyrics - Mariah Carey
You were so blind to let me go
You had it all but did not know
No one you'll find will ever be
Closer to all your dreams than me
Believing the grass would be greener
You told yourself "I just don't need her now"
But I know you'll soon discover
You're never satisfied with any other
[Chorus:]
Someday oo someday
One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
You'll change your mind and call my name
Soon as you find they're all the same
And when you find yourself alone
Don't come back crying
You should have known
Believe me I'm not pretending
It's not hard to predict this ending now
'Cause I know you'll soon discover
You're needing me in spite of all the others
[Chorus]
Maybe now you just can't conceive
That there'll ever come a time
When you're cold and lonely
Baby how could you ever believe
That another could replace me
The one and only
But when you're down
In your time of need
And you're thinking
That you might be coming back to own me
Just think again
'Cause I won't need your love anymore
[Chorus]
You had it all but did not know
No one you'll find will ever be
Closer to all your dreams than me
Believing the grass would be greener
You told yourself "I just don't need her now"
But I know you'll soon discover
You're never satisfied with any other
[Chorus:]
Someday oo someday
One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
You'll change your mind and call my name
Soon as you find they're all the same
And when you find yourself alone
Don't come back crying
You should have known
Believe me I'm not pretending
It's not hard to predict this ending now
'Cause I know you'll soon discover
You're needing me in spite of all the others
[Chorus]
Maybe now you just can't conceive
That there'll ever come a time
When you're cold and lonely
Baby how could you ever believe
That another could replace me
The one and only
But when you're down
In your time of need
And you're thinking
That you might be coming back to own me
Just think again
'Cause I won't need your love anymore
[Chorus]
Vanishing lyrics - Mariah Carey
If I could recapture
All of the memories
And bring them to life
Surely I would
Hear the distant laughter
Wasn't it you and me
Surviving the night
You're fading out of my sight
Swiftly
[Chorus:]
You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing
I was so enraptured
No sensibility
To open my eyes
I misunderstood
Now you're fading faster
It's suddenly hard to see
You're taking the light
Letting the shadows inside
Swiftly
[Chorus]
Reaching out into the distance
Searching for spirits of the past
Just a trace of your existence to grasp
And if somehow I could recapture
All of the memories
And bring them to life
Lord knows I would
But now you're fading faster
Getting so hard to see
Taking the light
Letting the darkness inside
Swiftly
[Chorus]
All of the memories
And bring them to life
Surely I would
Hear the distant laughter
Wasn't it you and me
Surviving the night
You're fading out of my sight
Swiftly
[Chorus:]
You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing
I was so enraptured
No sensibility
To open my eyes
I misunderstood
Now you're fading faster
It's suddenly hard to see
You're taking the light
Letting the shadows inside
Swiftly
[Chorus]
Reaching out into the distance
Searching for spirits of the past
Just a trace of your existence to grasp
And if somehow I could recapture
All of the memories
And bring them to life
Lord knows I would
But now you're fading faster
Getting so hard to see
Taking the light
Letting the darkness inside
Swiftly
[Chorus]
All In Your Mind lyrics - Mariah Carey
Come closer
You seem so far away
There's something I know you need to say
I feel your emotions
When I look in your eyes
Your silence
Whispering misunderstandings
There's so much you need to realize
You'll feel my emotions
If you look in my eyes
[Chorus:]
Hey darlin'
I know you think my love is slipping away
But baby it's all in your mind
Don't worry
Hold on tight and hear me when I say
Baby it's all in your mind
Believe me
I believe in you
There's nothing this feeling couldn't do
Move closer my darling
Feel the love in my eyes
[Chorus]
You seem so far away
There's something I know you need to say
I feel your emotions
When I look in your eyes
Your silence
Whispering misunderstandings
There's so much you need to realize
You'll feel my emotions
If you look in my eyes
[Chorus:]
Hey darlin'
I know you think my love is slipping away
But baby it's all in your mind
Don't worry
Hold on tight and hear me when I say
Baby it's all in your mind
Believe me
I believe in you
There's nothing this feeling couldn't do
Move closer my darling
Feel the love in my eyes
[Chorus]
Alone In Love lyrics - Mariah Carey
[Chorus:]
Swept me away
But now I'm lost in the dark
Set me on fire
But now I'm left with a spark
Alone you got beyond the haze and
I'm lost inside the maze
I guess I'm all alone in love
I look into your eyes
You turn the other way
And now I realize
It's all a game you play
I hold you in the night
And wake to find you gone
You're running out of sight
It's so hard holding on
All alone in love
[Chorus]
You haunt me in my dreams
I'm calling out your name
I watch you fade away
Your love is not the same
I figured out your style
To quickly drift apart
You held me for a while
Planned it from the start
All alone in love
[Chorus]
Sitting in the dark without you
How am I supposed to make it through the night
Slowly fall apart without you
Cry away the hours 'till the morning light
[Chorus]
Swept me away
But now I'm lost in the dark
Set me on fire
But now I'm left with a spark
Alone you got beyond the haze and
I'm lost inside the maze
I guess I'm all alone in love
I look into your eyes
You turn the other way
And now I realize
It's all a game you play
I hold you in the night
And wake to find you gone
You're running out of sight
It's so hard holding on
All alone in love
[Chorus]
You haunt me in my dreams
I'm calling out your name
I watch you fade away
Your love is not the same
I figured out your style
To quickly drift apart
You held me for a while
Planned it from the start
All alone in love
[Chorus]
Sitting in the dark without you
How am I supposed to make it through the night
Slowly fall apart without you
Cry away the hours 'till the morning light
[Chorus]
You Need Me lyrics - Mariah Carey
Wait a minute
Before you walk away
Let me finish
I've got a lot to say
Baby I'm not gonna tolerate
This game that you play
You'll regret it
If you desert me this way
When there's nobody to dry your eyes
Suddenly you're gonna realize
[Chorus:]
Don't you know
You need me
Don't you see
Believe me
Before you act so hastily
Baby remember you need me
Honey listen
Don't make a big mistake
I'm in your system
You really can't escape
When there's nobody to hold your hand
Suddenly you're gonna understand
[Chorus]
No one understands you like I do
After everything that we've been through
Baby you can turn around and leave
But I know that you'll keep coming right back to me
[Chorus]
Before you walk away
Let me finish
I've got a lot to say
Baby I'm not gonna tolerate
This game that you play
You'll regret it
If you desert me this way
When there's nobody to dry your eyes
Suddenly you're gonna realize
[Chorus:]
Don't you know
You need me
Don't you see
Believe me
Before you act so hastily
Baby remember you need me
Honey listen
Don't make a big mistake
I'm in your system
You really can't escape
When there's nobody to hold your hand
Suddenly you're gonna understand
[Chorus]
No one understands you like I do
After everything that we've been through
Baby you can turn around and leave
But I know that you'll keep coming right back to me
[Chorus]
Sent From Up Above lyrics - Mariah Carey
I can't imagine
Looking in someone else's eyes
What we have surpasses
Even paradise
It's hard to fathom
Reaching for someone else's hand
What we share is magic
Heaven had a plan
[Chorus:]
Sent from up above
So much love
In my life
I can't get enough
Of your touch
Feels so right
Unending passion
Somehow the fire never dies
What we share is everlasting
Love without demise
He made it happen
Placed so much joy into our hands
What we dreamed
We finally captured
Heaven took command
[Chorus]
Looking in someone else's eyes
What we have surpasses
Even paradise
It's hard to fathom
Reaching for someone else's hand
What we share is magic
Heaven had a plan
[Chorus:]
Sent from up above
So much love
In my life
I can't get enough
Of your touch
Feels so right
Unending passion
Somehow the fire never dies
What we share is everlasting
Love without demise
He made it happen
Placed so much joy into our hands
What we dreamed
We finally captured
Heaven took command
[Chorus]

You don't think that I'll be strong enough
I won't be a prisoner of your love
Maybe you don't think that I'll be strong enough
But I'm not gonna be a prisoner of your love
I know you're lying, denying all of your actions
So listen up 'cause here's my reaction
Here comes the night
No more living in the shadow of your love
This is my life
You always tried so hard to keep me down
But now I'll rise above
Those empty lies
Stop pretending that my accusations
Take you by surprise
I've realized
Now I'm ending all the secrecy
I see through your disguise
All the dreams we planned
I believed so I held on
I understand
So when the morning comes
You know that I'll be gone
You don't think that I'll be strong enough
I won't be a prisoner of your love
No longer blind
I can focus on deception
Used to keep me by your side
I read your mind
Don't believe it's all a mystery
There's nothing you can hide
It's all defined
There's nothing you can tell me now
To change the way I feel inside
All the dreams we planned
I believed so I held on
I understand
So when the morning comes
You know that I'll be gone
You don't think that I'll be strong enough
I won't be a prisoner of your love
I'm just not the girl you thought I was
I won't be a prisoner of your love
So if you wanna be my love
You can't be a liar
Play around
You see me and then say "Mariah I miss you"
Expect me to hug and kiss you
Don't mean to diss you
But I guess I'm not the kind of girl you thought i was
I've had enough and now I'll see ya later 'cause
Boy maybe you don't think that I'll be strong enough
But I won't be a prisoner baby of your love
No more no more no more no more no more no more
I won't be a prisoner of your love
I'm just not the girl you thought I was
I won't be a prisoner of your love
I'm not one of those girls who'll wait around
Crying 'cause you're playing dirty all over the town
You can't do that
I'm not a door mat
You're just a player
That's not my format
I won't be a prisoner of your love
Maybe you don't think that I'll be strong enough
But I'm not gonna be a prisoner of your love
I know you're lying, denying all of your actions
So listen up 'cause here's my reaction
Here comes the night
No more living in the shadow of your love
This is my life
You always tried so hard to keep me down
But now I'll rise above
Those empty lies
Stop pretending that my accusations
Take you by surprise
I've realized
Now I'm ending all the secrecy
I see through your disguise
All the dreams we planned
I believed so I held on
I understand
So when the morning comes
You know that I'll be gone
You don't think that I'll be strong enough
I won't be a prisoner of your love
No longer blind
I can focus on deception
Used to keep me by your side
I read your mind
Don't believe it's all a mystery
There's nothing you can hide
It's all defined
There's nothing you can tell me now
To change the way I feel inside
All the dreams we planned

You know that I'll be gone
You don't think that I'll be strong enough

You can't be a liar

Love Takes Time lyrics - Mariah Carey
I had it all
But I let it slip away
Couldn't see I treated you wrong
Now I wander around
Feeling down and cold
Trying to believe that you're gone
[Chorus:]
Love takes time
To heal when you're hurting so much
Couldn't see that I was blind
To let you go
I can't escape the pain
Inside
'Cause love takes time
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here alone
Losing my mind
From this hollow in my heart
Suddenly I'm so incomplete
Lord I'm needing you now
Tell me how to stop the rain
Tears are falling down endlessly
[Chorus]
You might say that it's over
You might say that you don't care
You might say you don't miss me
You don't need me
But I know that you do
And I feel that you do
Inside
[Chorus]
But I let it slip away
Couldn't see I treated you wrong
Now I wander around
Feeling down and cold
Trying to believe that you're gone
[Chorus:]
Love takes time
To heal when you're hurting so much
Couldn't see that I was blind
To let you go
I can't escape the pain
Inside
'Cause love takes time
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here alone
Losing my mind
From this hollow in my heart
Suddenly I'm so incomplete
Lord I'm needing you now
Tell me how to stop the rain
Tears are falling down endlessly
[Chorus]
You might say that it's over
You might say that you don't care
You might say you don't miss me
You don't need me
But I know that you do
And I feel that you do
Inside
[Chorus]
