One Sweet Day Lyrics
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
Living without your smile Feeling and knowing you hear me It keeps me alive...
Alive (All) And I know you're shining down on me from heaven Like 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 Took your presence for
granted But I always cared And I miss the love we shared
(All)
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven Like many friends we've lost
along the way And I know eventually we'll be together One sweet day
Wanya:
Although the sun will shine the same I'll always look to a brighter day (Mariah)
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep You will always listen as I pray
All
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven Like 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 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
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 (All) And I know you're shining down on me from heaven Like many friends
we've lost along the way And I know eventually we'll be together One sweet day
granted But I always cared And I miss the love we shared
(All)
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven Like many friends we've lost
along the way And I know eventually we'll be together One sweet day
Wanya:
All
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 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

to lose a loved one is the darkest thing in life that can happen.... but knowing that that person is moving on to a greater place brightens the mood.. I LOVE YOU GRANDMA!!
oh I so agree with nenerz. I miss the friends I lost so much, and I wish I could have told them everything I wanted to before it was too late... but the song is so beautiful.
I remember hearing this song. I know people that cry when they hear it. Hell I almost cried last time i heard it.
This song makes me cry. It's about regret, wishing you had told that person you loved them before it was too late.

I dont know one person who hasnt cried listening to this track.
hmmm. beautiful.
So sad. Just reading the lyrics is making me teary, heh. I loved this since I first heard it when I was little, though I appreciate it so much more now. A beautiful collaberation.
THIZ SONG IZ DEDICATED TO MY FRIEND CARMELO DIAZ

I agree with others; this song is about regret. However, it is also about hope in that the persona(s) will be reunited with that person(s) that they took for granted.
Tell people what you feel about them now!
