One Sweet Day
Boyz II Men & Mariah Carey

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

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, assumed¹ you'd always be there
I took your presence² for granted³
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
Lord⁴, 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 (Repeat)

Sorry I never told you all I wanted to say
