One Sweet Day Lyrics

One sweet day Mariah Carey w/BoysIIMen
1. 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.
2. 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 da?..y.
Eventually we'll sing in (heaven).
3. Darling I never showed you, assumed you'd always be there,
and I, I took your presence for granted, but I always cared,
and I miss the love we shared.
+ CHORUS
Although the sun will never shine the same,
I'll always look to a brighter day, yeah, yeah.
Lord, I know when I lay me down to sleep,
you will always listen as I pray
(song moves up half a note to capo 2nd here)
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 da?..y.
+ repeat CHORUS
Sorry, I never told you, all I wanted to say.
