[Intro]
(Something in your eyes
(Captured my soul)
(And every night I see you in my dreams)
I guess that means I'm gonna do this one for you
We're done with the show but...
(You're all I know)
(I can't let go)
We're done with the show but I wanna do this one for you because I thank you so much for coming...
You've been great for me
You know, I'm not used to doing this and you guys made it great for me so...
I just wanna thank you so much
Thank you...

[Verse 1]
There you are holding her hand
I am lost
Dying to understand
Didn't I cherish you right
Don't you know you were my life

[Chorus]
Even though I try I can't let go
Something in your eyes
Captured my soul
And every night I see you in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go

[Verse 2]
Just cast aside
You don't even know I'm alive
You just walk on by
Don't care to see me cry
And here I am
Still holding on
I can't accept
My world is gone

[Chorus]
Even though I try I can't let go
Something in your eyes
Captured my soul
(If you know it, sing along with me)
And every night I see you in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go

[Bridge]
Do you even realize the sorrow I have inside
Everyday of my life
Do you know the way it feels
When all you have just dies
I try and try to deny that I need you
But still you remain on my mind

[Chorus 2]
No I just can't get you out of my mind
I never can say goodbye
'Cause every night
I see you in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let you go
Even though I try
I can't let go of something I need so badly
You're all I know
I can't let go

[Outro]
Thank you!
Thank you so much for coming out...
I really really appreciated it and I love you so much...
Thank you!

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.
