DREAMLOVER
With eight long weeks on the top spot
of the singles charts and way longer on popularity spans, “Dreamlover” was
another Mariah hit. Until 1993 it
became her most requested single and a commercial success. It still belongs to Mariah’s up-to-date
concert selection.
►DREAMLOVER
Lyrics: M.
Carey – Music: M. Carey – D. Hall
I need a lover to give me
The kind of love
That will last always
I need somebody uplifting
To take me away, baby
Oh, yeah, yeah
I want a lover who knows me, yeah
Who understands how I feel inside
Someone to comfort and hold me
Through the long lonely nights
Till the dawn
Why don't you take me away
chorus:
Dreamlover, come rescue me
Take me up, take me down
Take me anywhere you want to, baby, now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around
'Cause I wanna share forever with you, baby
I don't want another pretender, no
To disillusion me one more time
Whispering words of forever
Playing with my mind
No… baby
I need someone to hold on to
The kind of love that won't fly away
I just want someone to belong to
Everyday of my live, always
So come and take me away
chorus:
Dreamlover, come rescue me
Take me up, take me down
Take me anywhere you want to, baby, now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around
'Cause I wanna share forever with you, baby
HERO
Mariah’s most popular ballad. This song has inspired millions of people
around the world and made her career internationally steady along with the
track “Without You”. Definitely one
of her fans’ favorite records.
►HERO
Lyrics: M.
Carey – Music: M. Carey – W. Afanasieff
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away, hey
chorus:
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold, oh, oh, oh
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And that emptiness you felt
Will disappear
chorus:
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Oh…
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
chorus:
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you

►MUSIC BOX
Lyrics: M.
Carey – Music: M. Carey – W. Afanasieff
When I am lost
You shine a light for me
And set me free
When I am low
You wash away my tears
And take me through
The loneliness and emptiness
Through the darkest night
Somehow I survive
Through it all
When you tell me I'm the only one you need
Sweet and tenderly
And your love
Breaks away the clouds surrounding me
All I have I wanna give to thee
Oh baby
If I should fall
Your love is strong enough
To lift me up
If I'm afraid
Oh, baby
You chase away my fears
And take me to
A brighter place
Beyond the rain
And I feel alright
'Cause you're by my side
Through it all
When you tell me I'm the only one you need
Sweet and tenderly
And your love
Breaks away the clouds surrounding me
All I have I wanna give to thee
Oh, baby
You take me through
The loneliness and emptiness
And I feel alright
'Cause you're by my side
Through it all
When you tell me I'm the only one you need
So sweet and tenderly
And your love
Just breaks away the clouds surrounding me
Baby, all I have I wanna give to thee
Wanna give you all of my love (Oh, oh)
Now and forever, my love
All I have I wanna give
To thee
►NOW THAT I KNOW
Lyrics: M. Carey – Music: M. Carey – R. Clivillés –
D. Cole
Now that I know
That you want me for me
I can be what you want
I can be what you need
Now that I know
That your love is for real
I can finally see (Finally)
This is not make believe anymore
I never knew
If I could believe in you
I thought I was just a diversion
And you were killing some time
My friends
They told me to leave you
They said you'd never, ever, ever be mine
But you gave me your love
And said I'm the one
You want for the rest of your life
Ooh
Now that I know
That you (Ooh) want me for me
I can be what you want (What you want)
I can be what you need (What you need)
Now that I know
That your love is for real
I can finally see (Finally)
This is not make believe anymore...
I was afraid
That it was all a masquerade
That I was only a plaything
And you would leave me behind
But now I feel so secure
By your side
I can conquer the world
'Cause I gave you my love
And I know you're the one
I want for the rest
Of my life
Now that I know
That you want me for me
I can be what you want (What you want)
I can be what you need (What you need)
Now that I know
That your love is for real
I can finally see
This is not make believe anymore
Now that I know
That you want me for me
I can be what you want
I can be what you need (What you need)
Now that I know
That your love is for real
I can finally see (Finally)
This is not make believe anymore...
I really feel it (So much love)
I really feel it (So much joy)
I really feel it (Sweet, sweet ecstasy)
I really feel it (Oh baby)
I really feel it ('Cause you opened my eyes)
(I really feel it)
And I realize (Oh)
Your love for me is real
It's for real (Oh...)
Now that I know
That you want me for me
I can be what you want (What you want)
I can be what you need (What you need)
Now that I know
That your love is for real
I can finally see (Finally)
This is not make believe anymore...
Now that I know
That you want me for me

That your love is for real
I can finally see (Finally)
This is not make believe anymore

locations.
►NEVER
FORGET YOU
Lyrics
& Music: M. Carey – Babyface
I won't
See your smile
And I won't hear you laugh
Anymore
Every night
I won't see you walk
Through that door
'Cause time wasn't on your side
It isn't right
I can't say I love you
It's too late to tell you
Bit I really need you to know
Oh baby
No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
Oh, you will always be here with me
Oh, I'll hold on to the memories, baby
Now, baby
Can you hear me
Wherever you may be tonight
Oh, oh
Are you near me
I need you to be by my side
'Cause I never said goodbye
It isn't right
I should have said I love you
Why didn't I just tell you
God knows I need you to know
No, I'll never forget you (Never)
I'll never let you out of my heart
Oh, you will always be here with me
Oh, I'll hold on to the memories baby
Yeah, yeah
Somewhere I know you'll be with me
Someday in another time
Right now you're gone
You just vanished away
But I'll never leave you behind
Oh baby
No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
Oh, you will always be here with me
Oh, I'll hold on to the memories, baby

►WITHOUT YOU
Lyrics
& Music: W.P.Ham – T. Evans
No I can't forget this evening
Nor your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows...
No I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there
But then I let you go
And now it's only fair
That I should let you know
What you should know...
I can't live...
If living is without you
I can't live...
I can't give any more...
I can't live...
If living is without you
I can't give...
I can't give any more...
Well I can't forget this evening
Nor your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows...
I can't live...
If living is without you
I can't live...
I can't give any more...
I can't live...
If living is without you
I can't live...
I can't give any more...
(No, I can't live)
(No, I can't live)
►JUST TO
HOLD YOU ONCE AGAIN
Lyrics: M.
Carey – Music: M. Carey – W. Afanasieff
Do you know
How it feels
Lying here without you baby
You could never understand
What's happening to me
So alone
Nothing's real
I just dream about you baby
And forever wonder why you had
To break free
Even though you're not my lover
Even though you're not my friend
Oh, baby
I would give my all
To have you here
Just to hold you once again
It's so hard
To believe
I don't have you right beside me
As I long to touch you
But you're out of my reach
And my heart doesn't feel
It's so very cold inside me
Just a shadow of someone that I used to be
Oh, even though you're not my lover, baby
And even though you're not my friend
No, no, no
I would give my all
To have you here
Just to hold you once again
You were the only one
Only one
That I allowed inside my heart
Now I'm just holding on
To something so far gone
Oh, where did I go wrong...
Even though you're not my lover, baby
And even though you're not my friend
No, no, no, no, no, no
I would give my all
To have you here
Just to hold you once again
Just to hold you once again
►I’VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOU
Lyrics: M.
Carey – D. Cole – Music: M. Carey – R. Clivillés – D. Cole
We've known each other
For a long long time
But I never really noticed
All the magic in your eyes
I've been around you
A thousand times before
And you've always been a friend to me
But now I'm wanting more
I must have been so blind
I never realized
You're the one that's right for me
All the while I couldn't see
And now I feel so strange
I'll never be the same
I'm going 'round and 'round in circles
And I don't know what to do
'Cause baby
I've been thinking about you (Oh, yeah)
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me
But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you
There's no explaining how I feel inside
I'm going through a transformation
That's so hard for me to hide
I had a revelation that
Finally opened up my eyes
The one I spent a lifetime searching for
Was right here all the time
I was oblivious
So very out of touch
All the while I couldn't see
You're the one that's right for me
And now my world has changed
I'll never be the same
Going 'round and 'round in circles
And it's all because of you
Sweet baby
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way (In the most peculiar way)
I've been thinking about you (Baby I got you on my mind)
It's unbelievable to me - It's unbelievable
But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you
I've been thinking about you, baby, baby, baby
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you (Got you on my mind)
It's unbelievable to me - It's unbelievable
But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you
Don't you know
That you're blowing my mind (That you're blowing my mind)
What you do to me
I can't describe
No, no, no, no, no
Baby I can't hold back anymore
I just can't conceal it
You're the one I really adore
Oh...
Ooh...
I've been thinking about you
Oh, oh
In the most peculiar way (In the most peculiar way)
I've been thinking about you
(Oh, baby, I got you in my mind)
In the most peculiar way (In the most peculiar way)
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me
But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you
►ALL I’VE
EVER WANTED
Lyrics: M.
Carey – Music: M. Carey – W. Afanasieff
If you only knew
What I feel for you
If you only lived for me
The way I live for you
I'd be in heaven
My dreams would come true
chorus:
'Cause all I've ever wanted
Is you
And you alone
And I love you so
More than you could ever know
All I've ever wanted
Is you...
If you were my own
To caress and hold
I would shower you with love
And drown within your soul
'Cause I live and breathe for you
And I really you need to know
chorus:
That all I've ever wanted
Is you
And you alone
And I love you so
More than you could ever know
All I've ever wanted
Is you...
Everything I do is for you
And you are every part of me
And I don't want to face
Another day alone
Without your love
chorus:
'Cause all I've ever wanted
Is you
And you alone
And I love you so
More than you could ever know
All I've ever wanted
Is you...
All I've ever wanted
Is you
