    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey
    Music: Mariah Carey, Ben Margulies

    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
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey
    Music: Mariah Carey, Ric Wake

    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
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey
    Music: Mariah Carey, Narada Michael Walden

    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 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
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey
    Music: Mariah Carey, Ben Margulies

    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!

    Chorus



    Vanishing
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey
    Music: Mariah Carey, Ben Margulies

    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
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey
    Music: Mariah Carey, Ben Margulies

    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
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey
    Music: Mariah Carey, Ben Margulies

    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



    You Need Me
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey
    Music: Mariah Carey, Rhett Lawrence

    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
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey
    Music: Mariah Carey, Rhett Lawrence

    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
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey
    Music: Mariah Carey, Ben Margulies

    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 prisoner of your love
    I'm just not the girl you thought I was
    I won't be a prisoner of your love



    Love Takes Time
    [To the top]

    Lyrics: Mariah Carey
    Music: Mariah Carey, Ben Margulies

    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
