Mariah Carey - Thank God I Found You

Thank God I Found You is a beautiful ballad featuring Joe and 98 Degrees.

Single cover 1 Thank God I Found You was Mariah's second single from the album Rainbow. It was released on January 17, 2000. After entering the charts it rose up to #2 and on February 10 it became Mariah's 15th number one single. She is still the third best artist, because Elivs Presley and The Beatles held the lead.
The song is a beautiful ballad, a thankyou for the important person in her life. It was written by Mariah, James Harris III and Terry Lewis. Mariah is featuring boy group 98 Degrees and the RnB singer Joe.
Single cover 2 "It's like when I was writing 'One Sweet Day. It really cried out for a group to be singing with me and for a strong male-female thing in terms of going back and forth, vocally. So you know, we just naturally came together."
Together they made a great performance, somehow similar to one other Mariah's hit One Sweet Day.
Later she came out with the remix to this song: Make It Last Remix, which is featuring Joe and rapper Nas.

Thank God I Found You (Featuring Joe & 98Degrees)

(Mariah Carey- James Harris III - Terry Lewis)

I would give up everything
Before I'd separate myself from you
After so much suffering
I finally found unvarnished truth
I was all by myself for the longest time
So cold inside
And the hurt from the heartache would not subside
I felt like dying
Until you saved my life

Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
'Cause baby I'm so thankful I found you

I would give you everything
There's nothing in this world
I wouldn't do
To insure your happiness
I cherish every part of you
'Cause without you beside me
I can't survive
Don't want to try
If your keeping me warm
Each and every night
I'll be alright
Because I need you in my life

Repeat Chorus

See I was so desolate
Before you came to me
Looking back I guess
It shows that we were destined
to shine
After the rain, to appreciate
The gift of what we have
And I'd go through it all over again
To be able to feel this way

Repeat Chorus
