    (Shoe do do do do do do do)
    (Shoe do do do do do do yeah)
    (Shoe do do do do do do do)

    (Shoe do do do do do do do)
    (Shoe do do do do do do yeah)
    (Shoe do do do do do do do)
    (Shoe do do do do do do yeah)

    Oh, when you walk by every night
    Talking sweet and looking fine
    I get kinda hectic inside
    Mmm, baby I'm so into you
    Darling, if you only knew
    All the things that flow through my mind

    (But it's just a) sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
    When I close my eyes
    You come and you take me
    (On and on and on)
    So deep in my daydreams
    But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby

    (Shoe do do do do do do do)
    (Shoe do do do do do do yeah)
    (Shoe do do do do do do do)

    (Shoe do do do do do do do)
    (Shoe do do do do do do yeah)
    (Shoe do do do do do do do)
    (Shoe do do do do do do yeah)

    Images of rapture
    Creep into me slowly
    As you're going to my head
    And my heart beats faster
    When you take me over
    Time and time and time again

    (But it's just a) sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
    When I close my eyes
    You come and you take me
    (On and on and on)
    So deep in my daydreams
    But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby

    (Shoe do do do do do do do)

    (It's just a) sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
    When I close my eyes
    You come and you take me
    (On and on and on)
    So deep in my daydreams
    But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby

    I'm in heaven
    With my boyfriend
    My laughing boyfriend
    There's no beginning
    And there is no end
    Feels like I'm dreaming
    But I'm not sleeping

    (It's just a) sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
    When I close my eyes
    You come and you take me
    (On and on and on)
    So deep in my daydreams
    But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby

    Sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
    When I close my eyes
    You come and you take me
    (On and on and on)
    So deep in my daydreams
    But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby

    Sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
    Sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
    (Shoe do do do do do do do)



    Underneath The Stars
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey
    Music: Mariah Carey, Walter Afanasieff

    One summer night
    We ran away for a while
    Laughing, we hurried beneath the sky
    To an obscure place to hide
    That no-one could find

    And we drifted to another state of mind
    And imagined I was yours and you were mine
    As we lay upon the grass
    There in the dark
    Underneath the stars
    (Young love)
    Underneath the stars

    Weak in the knees
    Wrapped in the warm gentle breeze
    So shy, a bundle of butterflies
    Flush with heat of desire
    On a natural high

    As we drifted to another place in time
    And the feeling was so heady and sublime
    As I lost my heart to you
    There in the dark
    Underneath the stars
    (Young love)

    Beautiful and bittersweetly
    You were fading into me
    And I was gently fading into you
    But the time went sailing by
    Reluctantly we said goodbye
    And left our secret place so far behind
    And I lay in bed all night
    And I was drifting
    Drifting
    Drifting
    Drifting

    And I was yours
    And you were my own
    My own baby
    As we lay
    As we
    Lay underneath the stars
    (Young love)



    One Sweet Day
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey, Michael McCray, Nathan Morris,
    Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman
    Music: Mariah Carey, Walter Afanasieff

    Sorry I never told you
    All I wanted to say
    And now it's too late to hold you
    'Cause you've flown away
    So far away

    Never had I imagined
    Living without your smile
    Feeling and knowing you hear me
    It keeps me alive
    Alive

    And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
    Like so many friends we've lost along the way
    And I know eventually we'll be together
    One sweet day

    Darling, I never showed you
    Assumed you'd always be there
    I took your presence for granted
    But I always cared
    And I miss the love we shared

    And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
    Like so many friends we've lost along the way
    And I know eventually we'll be together
    One sweet day

    Although the sun will never shine the same
    I'll always look to a brighter day
    Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
    You will always listen as I pray

    And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
    Like so many friends we've lost along the way
    And I know eventually we'll be together
    One sweet day

    And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
    Like so many friends we've lost along the way
    And I know eventually we'll be together
    One sweet day

    Sorry I never told you
    All I wanted to say



    Open Arms
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: S. Perry, J. Cain
    Music: S. Perry, J. Cain

    Lying beside you here in the dark
    Feeling your heart beat with mine
    Softly you whisper
    You're so sincere
    How could our love be so blind

    We sailed on together
    We drifted apart
    And here you are by my side

    So now I come to you with open arms
    Nothing to hide
    Believe what I say
    So here I am with open arms
    Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
    Open arms

    Living without you
    Living alone
    This empty house seems so cold
    Wanting to hold you
    Wanting you near
    How much I wanted you home

    But now that you've come back
    Turned night into day
    I need you to stay

    So now I come to you with open arms
    Nothing to hide
    Believe what I say
    So here I am with open arms
    Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
    Open arms
    Arms
    Arms

    (Do do doop do doop da dum)

    We were as one, babe
    For a moment in time
    And it seemed everlasting
    That you would always be mine
    Now you want to be free
    So I'll let you fly
    'Cause I know in my heart, babe
    Our love will never die
    No

    You'll always be a part of me
    I'm part of you indefinitely
    Boy, don't you know you can't escape me
    Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
    And we'll linger on
    Time can't erase a feeling this strong
    No way you're never gonna shake me
    Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby

    (Do do doop)
    (Do do doop do doop da dum)
    (Do do doop dum)
    (Do do doop do doop da dum)

    I ain't gonna cry, no
    And I won't beg you to stay
    If you're determined to leave boy
    I will not stand in your way
    But inevitably, you'll be back again
    'Cause you know in your heart, babe
    Our love will never end
    No

    You'll always be a part of me
    I'm part of you indefinitely
    Boy, don't you know you can't escape me
    Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
    And we'll linger on
    Time can't erase a feeling this strong
    No way you're never gonna shake me
    Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby

    I know that you'll be back, boy
    When your days and your nights get a little bit colder
    I know that you'll be right back, baby
    Oh baby, believe me
    It's only a matter of time
    Time

    You'll always be a part of me
    I'm part of you indefinitely
    Boy, don't you know you can't escape me
    Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
    And we'll linger on
    Time can't erase a feeling this strong
    No way you're never gonna shake me
    Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby

    You'll always be a part of me
    I'm part of you indefinitely
    Boy, don't you know you can't escape me
    Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
    And we'll linger on
    Time can't erase a feeling this strong
    No way you're never gonna shake me
    Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby

    I Am Free
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey
    Music: Mariah Carey, Walter Afanasieff

    Once I was a prisoner
    Lost inside myself
    With the world surrounding me
    Wandering through the misery
    But now I am free

    You gave me a breath of life
    Unclouded my eyes
    With a sweet serenity
    Lighting a ray of hope for me
    And now I am free

    Free to live
    Free to laugh
    Free to soar
    Free to shine
    Free to give
    Free to love
    Free enough to fly

    Once I was all so alone
    Unsteady and cold
    But your love rained down upon me
    Washing away uncertainty

    But now
    I am free



    When I Saw You
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey
    Music: Mariah Carey, Walter Afanasieff

    Soft heavenly eyes gazed into me
    Transcending space and time
    And I was rendered still
    There were no words for me to find at all
    As I stood there beside myself
    I could see you and no-one else

    When I saw you
    When I saw you
    I could not breathe
    I fell so deep
    When I saw you
    When I saw you
    I'd never be
    I'd never be the same

    Only once in a lifetime love rushes in
    Changing you with the tide
    And dawn's ribbon of light
    Bursts through the dark
    Wakening you inside
    And I thought it was all untrue
    Until there, all at once, I knew

    When I saw you
    When I saw you
    I could not breathe
    I fell so deep
    When I saw you
    When I saw you
    I'd never be
    I'd never be the same

    With no beginning
    And without an end
    You are the one for me
    And it's evident
    And your eyes told me so
    Your eyes let me know

    When I saw you
    When I saw you
    I could not breathe
    I fell so deep
    When I saw you
    When I saw you
    I'd never be
    I'd never be the same



    Long Ago
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey
    Music: Jermaine Dupri, Mariah Carey, Manuel Seal

    Once upon a time
    You whispered softly in my ear
    Loving words and fairytales
    That I longed to hear
    I gave you my body and soul
    And you took control
    As you slowly swept me up
    And carried me away

    You told me pretty lies
    As I held onto you tight
    You knew how to get your way
    Ignorance was bliss in your warm embrace

    Long ago
    You used to want me
    Now it's all so far away
    But you still haunt me
    And take me back to yesterday

    Every now and then
    I drown in thoughts of yesterday
    And the fools' paradise that you blew away
    I feel you beside me again
    And remember when you came to my window
    On a dark and stormy day

    Baby, I need you now
    Tonight I'm crumbling down
    Sinking in the memories
    Shadows of you keep washing over me

    Long ago
    You used to want me
    Now it's all so far away
    But you still haunt me
    Long ago
    You used to want me
    Now it's all so far away
    But you still haunt me
    And take me back to yesterday

    (So long ago)
    (So long ago)
    (So long ago)
    (So long ago)
    (So long ago)
    (So long ago)
    (So long ago)
    (So long ago)

    Baby, I need you now
    'Cause tonight I'm crumbling down
    Sinking in the memories
    Shadows of you keep washing over me

    Long ago
    You used to want me
    Now it's all so far away
    But you still haunt me
    And take me back to yesterday

    Long ago
    You used to want me
    Now it's all so far away
    But you still haunt me

    Long ago
    You used to want me
    Now it's all so far away
    But you still haunt me



    Melt Away
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey, Babyface
    Music: Mariah Carey, Babyface

    You come to me with a casual flow
    And suddenly, my defences start to go
    When you talk to me in that sensual tone
    It envelops me and I lose my self control

    And baby, I just melt away
    Fall like rain
    Everytime I see your face, I go off
    I just want to break it down
    Anytime you come around
    Maybe I could melt away in your arms

    Imagining that your taking it slow
    And so tenderly
    Till the feeling overflows
    When you look at me I go soft and cave in
    And I can't conceal that I'm slowly weakening

    And baby, I just melt away
    Fall like rain
    Everytime I see your face, I go off
    I just want to break it down
    Anytime you come around
    Maybe I could melt away in your arms

    You and me in a cloud of reverie
    Spin around inside my head unendingly
    Thoughts run wild as I sit and rhapsodize
    Pretty pictures of what I'd do if you were mine

    And baby, I just melt away
    Fall like rain
    Everytime I see your face, I go off
    I just want to break it down
    Anytime you come around
    Maybe I could melt away in your arms

    And baby, I just melt away
    Fall like rain
    Everytime I see your face, I go off
    I just want to break it down
    Anytime you come around
    Maybe I could melt away in your arms



    Forever
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey
    Music: Mariah Carey, Walter Afanasieff

    Those days of love are gone
    Our time is through
    Still I burn on and on
    All of my life
    Only for you

    From now
    Until forever
    And ever, my darling
    Forever
    You will always be the only one
    You will always be the only one

    As long as I shall live
    I'll hold you dear
    And I will reminisce
    Of our love all through the years

    From now
    Until forever
    And ever, my darling
    Forever
    You will always be the only one
    You will always be the only one

    If you should ever need me
    Unfailingly, I will return to your arms
    And unburden your heart
    And if you should remember
    That we belong together
    Never be ashamed
    Call my name
    Tell me I'm the one you treasure

    Forever
    And ever, my darling
    Forever
    You will always be the only one
    You will always be the only one
    You will always be the only one

    Forever
    You will always be the only one
    Forever
    You will always be the only one
    Forever
    You will always be the only one
    Forever
    You will always be the only one
    Forever
    You will always be the only one



    Daydream Interlude (Fantasy Sweet Dub Mix)
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth
    Music: Mariah Carey, Dave Hall, Chris Frantz,
    Tina Weymouth, Adrian Belew, Steven Stanley

    It's so sweet
    In my daydreams

    Every night you creep into my dreams
    Fantasy
    It's so deep, but it's a fantasy
    Every night you creep into my dream
    It's so real
    (In my daydreams)
    It's just a sweet
    It's just a sweet

    (In my daydreams)
    It seems so real
    You touch me
    You come into my room
    Come to me
    It's just a fantasy
    It feels so sweet
    But it's just not real
    Oh baby it's just a sweet fantasy

    And daydream is all that I can do
    I feel raptured over you
    In silence
    I keep it to myself
    Come take me
    I don't want nobody else

    And it's sweet
    I feel sweet
    And it's sweet
    I feel sweet
    And it's sweet
    I feel sweet

    And it's deep
    I feel really deep
    It's just a sweet
    It's just a sweet
    You're like the kiss of life
    You're like the kiss of life
    Beaming in the sky

    Oh you're just a fantasy
    Oh baby, you come into my room
    Yeah
    But you're just a fantasy



    Looking In
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey
    Music: Mariah Carey, Walter Afanasieff

    You look at me and see the girl
    Who lives inside the golden world
    But don't believe
    That's all there is to see
    You'll never know the real me

    She smiles through a thousand tears
    And harbours adolescent fears
    She dreams of all
    That she can never be
    She wades in insecurity
    And hides herself inside of me

    Don't say she takes it all for granted
    I'm well aware of all I have
    Don't think that I am disenchanted
    Please understand

    It seems as though I've always been
    Somebody outside looking in
    Well, here I am for all of them to bleed
    But they can't take my heart from me
    And they can't bring me to my knees
    They'll never know the real me



    El Amore Que Sone (Open Arms)
    [To the top]

    Spanish Version only

    Solo dos cuerpos
    Jugando a amar
    Juntos en la oscuridad
    Fuimos queriendo
    Cada vez mas
    Nada podia cambiar

    El paso del tiempo
    Nos quiso alejar
    Y nuestro amor pudo mas

    Chorus

    Y ahora estoy frente a ti
    amandote
    Mi corazon no puede esconder
    Que yo sin ti
    No se que hare
    Vuelvo a vivir
    A tu lado el amor que soņe

    Sola en mi cuarto
    Sin tu calor
    Fui conociendo el temor
    Te quise tanto
    Mi alma te di
    Hoy que regresas a mi

    Se queda vacio
    Se apaga el dolor
    Hoy tengo tu amor

    Chorus again
