[Verse 1]
The wind has taken you
You're free finally at peace
So still you lie
Leaving your cares behind

[Verse 2]
The pain is gone
Gone with the spirit in your eyes
Now you're wandering around
Above us
Looking downward
As we cry

[Verse 3]
You've flown into the wind
Escaping all the hurt within
Took to
To the sky
Leaving the world behind

[Chorus]
So young to die
How could you let it all pass you by?

[Verse 4]
And to the wind go so many dreams
That you held inside
Now you're just a memory
Burning in my mind

[Chorus]
So young to die
How could you let life pass you by?
And now you'll never know I loved you
And now you'll never know I cared

[Outro]
I really loved you
And now you'll never know
You'll only fade
Into the wind

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.
