[Intro]
Lullaby (Lullaby, Lullaby) {x2}

[Chorus]
I should just hug you goodbye
But I just can't walk away from paradise
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight

[Verse 1]
Hey boy, what's going on?
Thanks, I'm doing okay
Don't believe rumors- hey
How's your family?
Please say hello for me
Guess we've both grown up a bit
But I have to admit
It really still feels good
Here by your side
Sitting right next to you
Just like I used to do
You know we can't deny
No one else in our lives
Holds a candle to, you and I

[Chorus]
I should just hug you goodbye
But I just can't walk away from paradise
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight
Should just hug you goodbye
But I just can't walk away from paradise
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight

[Verse 2]
So here we are again
All by ourselves
So familiar, you know
That it actually almost feels like deja vu
Of that night on the roof
We kissed under the sky amid the city lights
A sudden flashback to so long ago
In the dark, all alone
With our bodies this close
Guess some things never change
'Cause I still melt away
When you touch me
And say my name

[Chorus]
I should just hug you goodbye
(Baby I)
But I just can't walk away from paradise
(So)
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
(I'm gonna love you to sleep)
And we can revisit us one more time
(Paradise for a while by your side)
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight
(Lullaby)
I Should just hug you goodbye
(See I know I should)
But I just can't walk away from paradise
(But boy, you just look so good)
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight

[Bridge]
It still feels, feels good


[Chorus]
(Lullaby)
I should just hug you goodbye
But I just can't walk away from paradise
(I can't walk away from paradise)
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
(So I'll take you home and sing it to you baby)
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight
(Now I know that I should just)
I should just hug you goodbye
But I just can't walk away from paradise
(I can't, no)
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
(Nobody else in our lives holds a candle to you and I)
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight
(shhh)
I should just hug you goodbye
(So hush pretty baby)
But I just can't walk away from paradise
(It's just me and you)
So I guess I'll sing you that sweet lullaby
(As we relive the splendor of you and I)
And we can revisit us one more time
(I'm gonna sing that sweet lullaby)
Yes, I'll come home with you tonight

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
