[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
When I saw you
When I saw you
I could not breathe
I fell so deep
Oh, when I saw you
When I saw you
I'd never be
I'd never be the same

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
When I saw you
When I saw you
I could not breathe
I fell so deep
Oh, when I saw you
When I saw you
I'd never be
I'd never be the same

[Bridge]
With no beginning and
Without an end
You are the one for me
And it's evident
And your eyes told me so
And your eyes let me know

[Chorus]
When I saw you
When I saw you
I could not breathe
I fell so deep
Oh, when I saw you
When I saw you
I'd never be
I'd never be the same

[Outro]
Oh no
Never be the same

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.
