Lyrics

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away, so far away

Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive, alive

And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together (together)
One sweet day (and all that I know and I'll wait patiently to see you in heaven)

Darlin', I never showed you (no, no, no, no, no, no) {i never showed you}
Assumed you'd always be there (mariah: always be there,) no,no, {i thought you'd always be there}
And I took your presence for granted
But I always cared (but I always cared) and I miss the love we shared

And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way (lost along the way)
And I know eventually we'll be together (i know, I know)
One sweet day (and all thati know is I'll wait patiently to see you in heaven)

Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day
Yeah, yeah
Lord, I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray

And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way (like so many)
And I know eventually we'll be together (yes, I know, I know we'll be together)
One sweet day

And I know you're shining down on me from heaven (I'll see you eventually)
Like so many friends we've lost along the way (i know you're lookin' for a heaven)
And I know eventually we'll be together (yes, we will)
One sweet day (one sweet day, whoa...)

Patiently to see you in heaven

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
