One Sweet Day - Mariah Carey (ft Boyz II Men)


In her sixth Album "Daydream" (1995), Mariah Carey sang
"One Sweet Day". It was a collaboration between her
and quartet Boyz II Men.

According Wikipedia, this song ranked at #29 on Billboard's Greatest
songs of all time.

Actually "One Sweet Day" was inspired by the death of producer and C+C Music Factory
member David Cole.
in 1991. While brainstorming with Boyz II Men on a possible collaboration,
Mariah discovered that the group had written a tribute to their manager who was murdered while they were on tour.
Her song plus theirs became “One Sweet Day.”
David Cole himself worked with Mariah Carey on her two previous albums,
including her 'MTV Unplugged' album.


What's about :
This is a song tribute to the one who we loved who passed away.
No matter boyfriend, parents , friends or somebody who we love.

When they are alive, we don't do something good with them, never tell that we
love them, care for them. But when they are passed away, there always regret
in it. So for you who still have the one who you love, care for them,
give them attention, time and of course love, before it's too late.

Genre : Pop Ballad, Collaboration


Lyric:

Sorry, I never told you, all I wanted to say.
Now it's too late to hold you. '
Cause you've flown away, so far away.

Never, Had I imagined, yeah, living without your smile.
Feelin' 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.

Picture a little scene from Heaven.

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.

Picture a little scene from Heaven.

Although, the sun will never shine the same, I'll
always look to a brighter day.

Yeah, Lord, I know, when I lay me down to sleep,
You'll 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
