Mariah's Debut Album: Mariah Carey


Vision Of Love


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 through alienation


Carried the weight on my own


Had to be strong


So I believed


And now I know I've succeeded


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


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


I Don't Wanna Cry


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


Could take us back


To where we used to be


Though I've give 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


Chorus



Someday


You were so blind to let me go


You had it all but didn't know


No one you'll ever find will 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 your 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!



Vanishing

Chorus



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 In Your Mind


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



Alone In love


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 your dreams


I'm calling out your name


I watch you fade away


Your love is not the same


I've figured out your style


To quickly drift apart


You held me for a while


Planned it from the start


All alone in love


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


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



Sent From Up Above


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 without demise


He made it happen


Placed so much joy into our hands


What we dreamed


We finally captured


Heaven took command


Chorus



Prisoner


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


No baby now


I won't be the prisoner of your love


(prisoner of your love)


Rapper Mariah:


Maybe you don't think that I'll be strong enough


But I'm not gonna be the prisoner of your love


I know your 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


Chorus:


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


No baby now


I won't be the prisoner of your love


(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


No baby now


I won't be the prisoner of your love


Prisoner of your love



I'm just not the girl you thought I was


Not gonna be a prisoner


I won't be the prisoner of your love


Rapper Mariah:


So if you wanna to get my love


You can't be a liar


Play already see me


And then say Mariah


I miss you


Expect me to hug and kiss you


I'm gonna dis' you


I guess I'm not the kinda girl


You thought I was


I've had enough and now


I'll se ya later cause'


Boy maybe you don't think that


I'll be strong enough


But I won't be the prisoner


Baby of your love


(No more) X6


Chorus:


I'm not one of those girls who'll wait around


Cryin' cause you're playin' dirty


All over the town


You can't do that


I'm not a dormat


You're just a player


That's not my format.


See ya.



Love Takes Time


I had it all


But I let it slip away


Couldn't see that 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


Love takes time


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
