Can't Hear the Music?

One Sweet Day

Mariah Carey

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
And 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
