Oh, when you walk by every night Talking sweet and looking fine I get kinda hectic inside Mmm, 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 you take me (On and on and on) So deep in my daydreams But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby

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

Sweet, sweet fantasy, baby When I close my eyes You come and you take me (On and on and on) So deep in my daydreams But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby

Sweet, sweet fantasy, baby Sweet, sweet fantasy, baby (Shoe do do do do do do do)


@SONG: Underneath The Stars @LYRICS: M. Carey @MUSIC: M. Carey, W. Afanasieff

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)


@SONG: One Sweet Day @FEATURING: Boyz II Men @LYRICS: M. Carey, N. Morris, M. McCary, W. Morris, @MUSIC: M. Carey, W. Afanasieff

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 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


@SONG: Open Arms @LYRICS/MUSIC: S. Perry, J. Cain

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 Arms Arms

@SONG: I Am Free @LYRICS: M. Carey @MUSIC: M. Carey, W. Afanasieff

Once I was a prisoner Lost inside myself With the world surrounding me Wandering through the misery But now I am free

You gave me a breath of life Unclouded my eyes With a sweet serenity Lighting a ray of hope for me And now I am free

Free to live Free to laugh Free to soar Free to shine Free to give Free to love Free enough to fly

Once I was all so alone Unsteady and cold But your love rained down upon me Washing away uncertainty

But now I am free


@SONG: When I Saw You @LYRICS: M. Carey @MUSIC: M. Carey, W. Afanasieff

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


@SONG: Long Ago @LYRICS: M. Carey @MUSIC: J. Dupri, M. Carey, M. Seal

Once upon a time You whispered softly in my ear Loving words and fairytales That I longed to hear I gave you my body and soul And you took control As you slowly swept me up And carried me away

You told me pretty lies As I held onto you tight You knew how to get your way Ignorance was bliss in your warm embrace

Long ago You used to want me Now it's all so far away But you still haunt me And take me back to yesterday

Every now and then I drown in thoughts of yesterday And the fools' paradise that you blew away I feel you beside me again And remember when you came to my window On a dark and stormy day

Baby, I need you now Tonight I'm crumbling down Sinking in the memories Shadows of you keep washing over me

Long ago You used to want me Now it's all so far away But you still haunt me Long ago You used to want me Now it's all so far away But you still haunt me And take me back to yesterday

(So long ago) (So long ago) (So long ago) (So long ago) (So long ago) (So long ago) (So long ago) (So long ago)

Baby, I need you now 'Cause tonight I'm crumbling down Sinking in the memories Shadows of you keep washing over me

Long ago You used to want me Now it's all so far away But you still haunt me And take me back to yesterday

Long ago You used to want me Now it's all so far away But you still haunt me

Long ago You used to want me Now it's all so far away But you still haunt me


@SONG: Melt Away @LYRICS/MUSIC: M. Carey, K. Edmonds

You come to me with a casual flow And suddenly, my defences start to go When you talk to me in that sensual tone It envelops me and I lose my self control

And baby, I just melt away Fall like rain Everytime I see your face, I go off I just want to break it down Anytime you come around Maybe I could melt away in your arms

Imagining that your taking it slow And so tenderly Till the feeling overflows When you look at me I go soft and cave in And I can't conceal that I'm slowly weakening

And baby, I just melt away Fall like rain Everytime I see your face, I go off I just want to break it down Anytime you come around Maybe I could melt away in your arms

You and me in a cloud of reverie Spin around inside my head unendingly Thoughts run wild as I sit and rhapsodize Pretty pictures of what I'd do if you were mine

And baby, I just melt away Fall like rain Everytime I see your face, I go off I just want to break it down Anytime you come around Maybe I could melt away in your arms

And baby, I just melt away Fall like rain Everytime I see your face, I go off I just want to break it down Anytime you come around Maybe I could melt away in your arms


@SONG: Forever @LYRICS: M. Carey @MUSIC: M. Carey, W. Afanasieff

Those days of love are gone Our time is through Still I burn on and on All of my life Only for you

From now Until forever And ever, my darling Forever You will always be the only one You will always be the only one

As long as I shall live I'll hold you dear And I will reminisce Of our love all through the years

From now Until forever And ever, my darling Forever You will always be the only one You will always be the only one

If you should ever need me Unfailingly, I will return to your arms And unburden your heart And if you should remember That we belong together Never be ashamed Call my name Tell me I'm the one you treasure

Forever And ever, my darling Forever You will always be the only one You will always be the only one You will always be the only one

Forever You will always be the only one Forever You will always be the only one Forever You will always be the only one Forever You will always be the only one Forever You will always be the only one


@SONG: Daydream Interlude (Fantasy Sweet Dub Mix) @LYRICS: M. Carey, C. Franz, T. Weymouth @MUSIC: M. Carey, D. Morales

It's so sweet In my daydreams

Every night you creep into my dreams Fantasy It's so deep, but it's a fantasy Every night you creep into my dream It's so real (In my daydreams) It's just a sweet It's just a sweet

(In my daydreams) It seems so real You touch me You come into my room Come to me It's just a fantasy It feels so sweet But it's just not real Oh baby it's just a sweet fantasy

And daydream is all that I can do I feel raptured over you In silence I keep it to myself Come take me I don't want nobody else

And it's sweet I feel sweet And it's sweet I feel sweet And it's sweet I feel sweet

And it's deep I feel really deep It's just a sweet It's just a sweet You're like the kiss of life You're like the kiss of life Beaming in the sky

Oh you're just a fantasy Oh baby, you come into my room Yeah But you're just a fantasy


@SONG: Looking In @LYRICS: M. Carey @MUSIC: M. Carey, W. Afanasieff

You look at me and see the girl Who lives inside the golden world But don't believe That's all there is to see You'll never know the real me

She smiles through a thousand tears And harbours adolescent fears She dreams of all That she can never be She wades in insecurity And hides herself inside of me

Don't say she takes it all for granted I'm well aware of all I have Don't think that I am disenchanted Please understand

It seems as though I've always been Somebody outside looking in Well, here I am for all of them to bleed But they can't take my heart from me And they can't bring me to my knees
