빌보드 역사상 가장 오래 싱글 차트 1위를 점령했던 여가수이자 팝 역사상 가장 많은 싱글 차트 1위를 기록한 여가수 머라이어 캐리. 이십대의 풋풋하면서도 섹시했던 모습과는 다소 거리가 있는, 어느덧 사십대에 접어든 머라이어 캐리지만 굴곡 많은 개인사를 겪어내며 재기에 성공한 만큼, 그만큼 원숙하면서도 더욱 활기 넘치는 음악으로 팬들에게 다가서고 있다. 사실 많은 스타들이 롤러 코스터를 타는 듯한 격정적인 삶을 숙명처럼 짊어지고 있는데, 머라이어 캐리 역시 예외는 아니다. 데뷔 이후 매년 빌보드 핫 100 싱글스 차트 1위곡을 내놓으며 휘트니 휴스턴과 라이벌 구도를 이루는 등 팝 음악계의 여왕으로 최고의 시기를 보냈지만, 사생활 면에서는 데뷔 직후 그녀를 발탁한 소속사 사장 토미 모톨라와의 깜짝 결혼으로 ‘신데렐라’라는 달갑지 않은 호칭이 따라다녔고, 그 후 이혼과 스포츠 및 음악계 스타들과의 염문, 호화스런 사생활을 둘러싼 구설수 등으로 내내 시달렸다. 게다가 이혼 이후 발표했던 음반들이 기대에 못 미치며 탁월한 가창력과 송라이터로서의 능력 그리고 미모를 겸비한 슈퍼 디바로서의 명성에 흠집이 갔던 것이 사실. 하지만 10번째 정규 앨범 [The Emancipation Of Mimi](2005)를 통해 14주간 빌보드 핫 100 싱글스 차트 정상에 머문 ‘We Belong Together’와 ‘Don’t Forget About Us’ 등 빌보드 싱글 차트 1위곡을 배출하며 화려하게 재기했고 동시에 힙합을 자신의 스타일로 완벽하게 재창조해내는 음악적 변화도 완성시켰다. ‘최우수 R&B 앨범’ 등 세개의 그래미 트로피를 선사하며 1천만 장이 넘는 앨범 판매고를 올린 이 음반으로 재기에 성공한 머라이어 캐리는 후속 앨범 [E=MC2]을 통해 통산 18번째 빌보드 팝 싱글 차트 1위곡 ‘Touch My Body’를 배출했고, 이 곡은 당시 디지털 시장에서도 28만 6천건의 다운로드 횟수를 기록, 2007년 6월 리안나의 ‘Umbrella’가 기록한 27만 7천건을 뛰어넘는 신기록을 세우기도 했다. 2009년 발표한 12집 [Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel]의 첫 싱글 ‘Obsessed’는 빌보드 핫 싱글 차트 7위까지 오르며 그녀의 27번째 톱텐 싱글이 되었고, 이는 그녀에게 마돈나의 37곡에 이어 여성 아티스트로는 두번째로 많은 톱 텐 싱글 보유 기록을 안겨주는 등 여전한 인기를 구가하고 있는 중이다. 최근에는 재혼한 남편과의 사이에 첫 아이의 임신 소식까지 들려주는 등 가정적으로도 안정을 찾은 모습을 보여주고 있어 이제 머라이어 캐리는 누구도 범접 못할 탁월한 가창력을 지닌 여신 같은 존재가 아닌, 친근한 누이 같은 이미지로 다가서고 있다. 세월은 한 때 팝 음악계 최고 미모의 스타였던 머라이어 캐리 역시 비켜가지 않았지만, 오히려 그로 인해 사람들은 머라이어 캐리의 아티스트로서의 면모에 집중할 수 있게 된 셈이다. .... ....
Love wandered inside Stronger than you Stronger than I And now that it has begun We cannot turn back We can only turn into one
Chorus 1 I won't ever be too far away to feel you And I won't hesitate at all Whenever you call And I'll always remember The part of you so tender I'll be the one to catch your fall Whenever you call

Treated me kind Sweet destiny Carried me through desperations To the one that was waiting for me It took so long Still I believed Somehow the one that I needed Would find me eventually I had a vision of love And it was all that you've given to me Prayed through the nights Felt so alone Suffered from alienation Carried the weight on my own Had to be strong So I believed And now I know I've succeeded In fiding the place I conceived I had a vision of love And it was all that you've given to me I had a vision of love And it was all that you've given me I've realized the dream And I visualized the love that came to be Feel so alive I'm so thankful that I've received The answer that heaven has sent down to me You treated me kind Sweet destiny And I'll be eternally grateful Holding you so close to me Prayed through the nights So faithfully Knowing the one that I needed Would find me eventually I had a vision of love And it was all that you've given to me I had a vision of love And it was all That you turned out to Be
A broken man without a home Desperate and so alone A victim of society No one really wants to see Some of us don't even wonder Some of us don't even care Couldn't we just help each other Isn't there enough to share There's got to be a way To connect this world today Come together to relieve the pain There's got to be a way To unite this human race And together we'll bring on a change In another land they still believe Color grants supremacy I don't understand How there can be Regulated bigotry Some of us don't even wonder Some of us don't even care Couldn't we accept each other Can't we make ourselves aware There's got to be a way To connect this world today Come together to relieve the pain There's got to be a way To unite this human race And together we'll bring on a change And maybe then the future will be a time Without war And hungry children won't have to die If we work together today We'll save tomorrow
Some of us don't even wonder Some of us don't even care Couldn't we just love each other Isn't there enough to share There's got to be a way To connect this world today Come together to relieve the pain There's got to be a way To unite this human race And together we'll bring on a change There's got to be a way To connect this world today
Once again we sit in silence After all is said and done Only emptiness inside us Baby look what we've become We can make a million promises But we still won't change It isn't right to stay together When you only bring each other pain I don't wanna cry Don't wanna cry Nothing in the world Could take us back To where we used to be Though I've give you my heart and soul give you my heart and soul I must find a way of letting go Cause baby I don't wanna cry I don't wanna cry
Too far apart to bridge the distance But something keeps us hanging on and on Pretending not to know the difference Denying what we had is gone Every moment we're together It's just breaking me down I know we swore it was forever But it hurts too much to stay around I don't wanna cry Don't wanna cry Nothing in the world Could take us back To where we used to be Though I've give you my heart and soul give you my heart and soul I must find a way of letting go Cause baby I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna cry
All the magic's gone There's just a shadow of a memory Something just went wrong We can't go on make believing on make believing cause I don't wanna cry Don't wanna cry Nothing in the world Could take us back To where we used to be Though I've give you my heart and soul give you my heart and soul anf I give you my heart and soul give you my heart and soul I must find a way of letting go Cause baby I don't wanna cry
You were so blind to let me go You had it all but did not know No one you'll find will ever be Closer to all your dreams than me Believing the grass would be greener You told yourself I just don't need her now But I know you'll soon discover You're never satisfied with any Someday Oo Someday One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for Someday hey hey Boy you're gonna pay cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score You'll change your mind and call my name As soon as you find they're all the same And when you find yourself alone Don't come back crying You should have known Believe me I'm not pretending It's not hard to predict This ending now 'Cause I know you'll soon discover You're needing me in spite of all the Someday Oo Someday One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for Someday hey hey Boy you're gonna pay cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score Someday Oo Someday One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for Someday hey hey Boy you're gonna pay cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score Maybe now you just can't conceive That there'll ever come a time when you're cold and lonely Baby how could you ever believe That another could replace me The one and only But when your down In your time of need And you're thinking that you Might be coming back to own me Just think again 'cause I won't need your love anymore
Someday Oo Someday One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for Someday hey hey Boy you're gonna pay cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score Someday Oo Someday One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for Someday hey hey Boy you're gonna pay cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score Someday Oo Someday One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for Someday hey hey Boy you're gonna pay cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score Someday
If I could recapture All of the memories And bring them to life Surely I would Hear the distant laughter Wasn't it you and me Surviving the night You're fading out of my sight Swiftly You're vanishing Drifting away You're vanishing
I was so enraptured No sensibility To open my eyes I misunderstood Now you're fading faster It's suddenly hard to see You're taking the light Letting the shadows inside Swiftly You're vanishing Drifting away You're vanishing
You're vanishing Drifting away
Reaching out into the distance Searching for spirits of the past Just a trace of your existence to grasp And if somehow I could recapture All of the memories And bring them to life Lord knows I would But now you're fading faster Getting so hard to see Taking the light Letting the darkness inside Swiftly You're vanishing Drifting away You're vanishing You're vanishing Drifting away
Come closer You seem so far away There's something I know you need to say I feel your emotions When I look in your eyes
Your silence Whispering misunderstandings There's so much you need to realize You'll feel my emotions If you look in my eyes Hey darlin' I know you think my love is slipping away But baby it's all in your mind Don't worry Hold on tight and hear me when I say Baby it's all in your mind
Believe me I believe in you There's nothing this feeling couldn't do Move closer my darling Feel the love in my eyes Hey darlin' I know you think my love is slipping away But baby it's all in your mind Don't worry Hold on tight and hear me when I say Baby it's all in your mind
Hey darlin' I know you think my love is slipping away But baby it's all in your mind Don't worry Hold on tight and hear me when I say Baby it's all in your mind Baby it's all in your mind Baby it's all in your mind Baby it's all in your mind Baby it's all in your mind Baby it's all in your mind Baby it's all in your mind Baby it's all in your mind Baby it's all in your mind Baby it's all in your mind
Swept me away But now I'm lost in the dark Set me on fire But now I'm left with a spark Alone you got beyond the haze and I'm lost inside the maze I guess I'm all alone in love I look into your eyes You turn the other way And now I realize It's all a game you play I hold you in the night And wake to find you gone You're running out of sight It's so hard holding on All alone in love Swept me away But now I'm lost in the dark Set me on fire But now I'm left with a spark Alone you got beyond the haze and I'm lost inside the maze I guess I'm all alone in love You haunt me in my dreams I'm calling out your name I watch you fade away I figured out your style To quickly drift apart You held me for a while Planned it from the start All alone in love Sitting in the dark without you How am I supposed to make it through the night Slowly fall apart without you Cry away the hours 'till the morning light Swept me away But now I'm lost in the dark Set me on fire But now I'm left with a spark Alone you got beyond the haze and I'm lost inside the maze I guess I'm all alone in love
Wait a minute Before you walk away Let me finish I've got a lot to say Baby, I'm not gonna tolerate This game that you play You'll regret it If you desert me this way When there's nobody To dry your eyes Suddenly you're gonna realize
(Chorus) (Don't you know) You need me (Don't you see) Believe me Before you act so hastily Baby remember you need me
Honey listen, don't make a big mistake I'm in your system You really can't escape When there's nobody To hold your hand Suddenly you're gonna understand
(Chorus) X 2
No one understands you like I do After everything That we've been through Baby, you can turn around and leave But I know that you'll keep coming right back to me
I can't imagine Looking in someone else's eyes What we have surpasses Even paradise It's hard to fathom Reaching for someone else's hand What we share is magic Heaven had a plan Sent from up above So much love In my life I can't get enough Of your touch Feels so right Unending passion Somehow the fire never dies What we share is everlasting Love without demise He made it happen Placed so much joy into our hands What we dreamed We finally captured Heaven took command Sent from up above So much love In my life I can't get enough Of your touch Feels so right Sent from up above So much love In my life I can't get enough Of your touch Feels so right
Sent from up above So much love In my life I can't get enough Of your touch Feels so right Sent from up above So much love In my life I can't get enough Of your touch Feels so right Sent from up above So much love In my life I can't get enough Of your touch Feels so right Sent from up above So much love In my life I can't get enough Of your touch Feels so right
Chorus: You don't think that I'll be strong enough I won't be a prisoner of your love If you don't think that I'll be strong enough I'm not gonna be a prisoner of your love I hear ya lying denying all of your actions So listen up cuz here's my reaction Here comes the night No more living in the shadow of your love This is my life You always tried so hard to keep me down But now I'll rise above Those empty lies Stop pretending that my accusations Take you by surprise I've realized Now I'm ending all the secrecy I see through your disguise All the dreams we planned I believed so I held on Now I'm ending all the secrecy I see through your disguise All the dreams we planned I believed so I held on I understand So when the morning comes You know that I'll be gone Chorus No longer blind I can focus on deception Used to keep me by your side I read your mind Don't believe it's all a mystery There's nothing you can hide It's all defined There's nothing you can tell me now To change the way I feel inside All the dreams we planned I believed so I held on I understand So when the morning comes You know that I'll be gone Chorus I'm just not the girl you thought I was I won't be a prisoner of your love So if ya wanna be my love you can't be a liar play around decieve me and then say mariah, I miss you, expect me to hug and kiss you don't mean to diss you boy I guess I'm not the kind of girl you thought I was I've had enough and now I'll see ya later cuz boy maybe I'll be strong enough but I'm not gonna be a prisoner f your love No more (6 x) I won't be prisoner of your love I'm just not the girl you thought I was I won't be a prisoner of your love Not one of those girls who'll wait around crying cuz you're playing dirty all over town you can't do that I'm not a doormat You're just a player that's not my format See ya
I had it all But I let it slip away Couldn't see I treated you wrong Now I wander around Feeling down and cold Trying to believe that you're gone Love takes time To heal when you're hurting so much Couldn't see that I was blind To let you go I can't escape the pain Inside 'Cause love takes time I don't wanna be here I don't wanna be here alone
Losing my mind From this hollow in my heart Suddenly I'm so incomplete Lord I'm needing you now Tell me how to stop the rain Tears are falling down endlessly Love takes time To heal when you're hurting so much Couldn't see that I was blind To let you go I can't escape the pain Inside 'Cause love takes time I don't wanna be here I don't wanna be here alone You might say that it's over You might say that you don't care You might say you don't miss me You don't need me But I know that you do And I feel that you do Inside Love takes time To heal when you're hurting so much Couldn't see that I was blind To let you go I can't escape the pain Inside 'Cause love takes time I don't wanna be there I don't wanna be there alone
Oh when you walk by every night Talking sweet and looking fine I get kind of hectic inside Oh baby I'm so into you Darling if you only knew All the things that flow through my mind But it's just a
*Sweet sweet fantasy baby When I close my eyes You come and take me On and on and on It's so deep in my daydreams But it's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby
Images of rapture Creep into me slowly As you're going to my head And my heart beats faster When you take me over Time and time and time again But it's just a

I'm in heaven With my boyfriend My laughing boyfriend There's no beginning and there is no end Feels like I'm dreaming but I'm not sleeping
One summer night We ran away for a while Laughing, we hurried beneath the sky To an obscure place to hide That no-one could find
And we drifted to another state of mind And imagined I was yours and you were mine As we lay upon the grass There in the dark Underneath the stars (Young love) Underneath the stars
Weak in the knees Wrapped in the warm gentle breeze So shy, a bundle of butterflies Flush with heat of desire On a natural high
As we drifted to another place in time And the feeling was so heady and sublime As I lost my heart to you There in the dark Underneath the stars (Young love)
Beautiful and bittersweetly You were fading into me And I was gently fading into you But the time went sailing by Reluctantly we said goodbye And left our secret place so far behind And I lay in bed all night And I was drifting Drifting Drifting Drifting
And I was yours And you were my own My own baby As we lay As we Lay underneath the stars (Young love) Lay underneath the stars (Young love)
Lying beside you, here in the dark Feeling your heart beat with mine Softly you whisper, you're so sincere How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together We drifted apart And here you are by my side
* So now I come to you, with open arms Nothing to hide, believe what I say So here I am, with open arms Hoping you'll see what your love means to me Open arms...
Living without you, living alone This empty house seems so cold Wanting to hold you, wanting you near How much I wanted you home
But now that you've come back Turned night into day I need you to stay
** So now I come to you, with open arms Nothing to hide, believe what I say So here I am, with open arms Hoping you'll see what your love means to me... Open arms
We Were As One For A Moment In Time And It Seemed Everlasting That You Would Always Be Mine Now You Want To Be Free So I'll Let You Fly 'Cause I Know In My Heart Our Love Will Never Die
* You'll Always Be A Part Of Me I'm Part Of You Indefinitely Boy Don't You Know You Can't Escape Me Ooh Darling 'Cause You'll Always Be My Baby And We'll Linger On Time Can't Erase A Feeling This Strong No Way You're Ever Gonna Shake Me Oh Darling 'Cause You'll Always Be My Baby
I Ain't Gonna Cry And I Won't Beg You To Stay If You're Determined To Leave Boy I Will Not Stand In Your Way But Inevitably, You'll Be Back Again 'Cause You Know In Your Heart Babe Our Love Will Never End
* Repeat
I Know That You'll Be Back Boy When Yor Days And Your Nights Get A Little Bit Colder I Know That You'll Be Ringt Back Baby Oh Baby Believe Me It's Only Matter Of Time
Soft heavenly eyes gazed into me Transcending space and time And I was rendered still There were no words for me to find at all As I stood there beside myself I could see you and no-one else
When I saw you When I saw you I could not breathe I fell so deep When I saw you When I saw you I'd never be I'd never be the same
Only once in a lifetime love rushes in Changing you with the tide And dawn's ribbon of light Bursts through the dark Wakening you inside And I thought it was all untrue Until there, all at once, I knew
When I saw you When I saw you I could not breathe I fell so deep When I saw you When I saw you I'd never be I'd never be the same
With no beginning And without an end You are the one for me And it's evident And your eyes told me so Your eyes let me know
When I saw you When I saw you I could not breathe I fell so deep When I saw you When I saw you I'd never be I'd never be the same
