[Intro]
La-da-da

[Verse 1]
I look at you looking at me
Feels like a feeling meant to be
And as your body moves with mine
It's like I'm lifted out of time
And time again
Patiently I've waited for this moment to arrive

[Chorus]
After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer?
After you go
Will you return to love me
After tonight begins to fade?

[Verse 2]
I feel your touch caressing me
This feeling's all I'll ever need
With every kiss from your sweet lips
It's like I'm drifting out of
Time alone will tell
If you feel the way I feel
When I look in your eyes

[Chorus]
After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer?
After you go
Will you return to love me
After tonight begins to fade?

[Verse 3]
Time and time and time again (Time and time again)
So patiently I've waited for this moment to arrive

[Chorus]
After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer?
After you go
Baby, will you return to love me
After tonight begins to fade?

[Outro]
After tonight begins to fade
After all, after all, after all
When the morning comes
When the morning comes
After tonight begins to fade (After tonight)
Begins to fade

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.
