[Verse 1]
I won't see your smile
And I won't hear you laugh anymore
Every night I won't see you walk
Through that door
'Cause time wasn't on your side
It isn't right
I can't say I love you
It's too late to tell you
But I really need you to know

[Chorus]
Oh, baby, no
I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
You will always be here with me
I'll hold on to the memories, baby

[Verse 2]
Now baby, can you hear me?
Wherever you may be tonight
Are you near me?
I need you to be by my side
'Cause I never said goodbye
It isn't right
I should have said I love you
Why didn't I just tell you?
God knows I need you to know

[Chorus]
Oh, baby, no
I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
You will always be here with me
I'll hold on to the memories, baby

[Bridge]
Somewhere I know you'll be with me
Someday in another time
But right now you're gone
You just vanished away
But I'll never leave you behind

[Chorus]
No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
Oh, you will always be here with me
I'll hold on to the memories, baby
No, I'll never forget you (No, baby, no, baby)
I'll never let you out of my heart
Oh, you will always be here with me
I'll hold on to the memories, baby
No, I'll never forget you (No, baby, no, baby)
I'll never let you out of my heart
(Never, never, never, never, never)

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.
