[Verse 1]
When I am lost
You shine a light for me and set me free
When I am low
You wash away my tears
And take me through
The loneliness
And emptiness
Through the darkest night
Somehow I survive
Through it all

[Chorus]
When you tell me I'm the only one you need
Sweet and tenderly
And your love
Breaks away the clouds surrounding me
All I have, I want to give to thee

[Verse 2]
If I should fall
Your love is strong enough to lift me up
If I'm afraid, oh baby
You chase away my fears
And take me to
A brighter place
Beyond the rain
And I feel alright
'Cause you're by my side
Through it all

[Chorus]
And you tell me I'm the only one you need
Sweet and tenderly
And your love
Breaks away the clouds surrounding me
All I have, I want to give to thee

[Bridge]
You take me through
The loneliness and emptiness
And I feel alright
'Cause you're by my side
Through it all

[Chorus]
You tell me I'm the only one you need
So sweet and tenderly
And your love
Just breaks away the clouds surrounding me
And baby, all I have, I want to give to thee

[Outro]
Wanna give you all of my love
Now and forever, my love
All I have, I wanna give to thee

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.
