[Verse 1]
Those days of love are gone
Our time is through
Still I burn on and on
All of my life, only for you
From now until...

[Chorus]
Forever
And ever, my darling
Forever
You will always be the only one
You will always be the only one

[Verse 2]
As long as I shall live
I'll hold you dear
And I will reminisce
Of our love all through the years
From now until

[Chorus]
Forever
And ever, my darling
Forever
You will always be the only one, yes
You will always be the only one

[Bridge]
If you should ever need me
Unfailingly I will return to your arms
And unburden your heart
And if you should remember
That we belong together
Never be ashamed
Call my name
Tell me I'm the one you treasure

[Chorus]
Forever
And ever, my darling
Forever
You will always be the only one
You will always be the only one
Oh baby, you will always be the only one

[Outro]
Forever, you will always be the only one
Forever, you will always be the only one
Forever, you will always be the only one
Forever, you will always be the only one
Forever, you will always be the only one
Forever, you will always be the only one

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.
