甜蜜的一天（One Sweet Day）

    Mariah Carey不知不觉在别人无休止地与Whitney Houston比较中成为美国流行歌坛大姐大式的物。Mariah从小在哥哥姐姐的影响下爱上了Soul和Jazz音乐，并在曾经是歌剧演员的母亲指导下学习声乐。一次偶然的机会，Mariah有幸结识了后来成为其丈夫的CBS唱片公司的总裁托米，后者对她的歌声大为赞赏，并当即表示要与她签约，从而实现了她久已有之的歌星梦。Mariah的首张单曲唱片《Vision of love》即一炮而红，排行榜上停留四周之久。接着，她演唱的《Love takes times》、《Someday》、《I don't wanna cry》等歌曲相继登上排行榜。她的第一张专辑Maiah Cary在美国售出700多万张，第二个专辑Emotions也后深得众多歌迷的喜爱。之后好相继出品的《Butterfly》、《Music Box》等专辑，均大获成功。

    Mariah Carey的迅速走红和她得天独厚的嗓音条件有着密切的联系。她的音域极宽，可以在三个八度以上的范围内自由驰骋，甚至还能发出一般人听不到的泛音。她的演唱技巧纯熟，气息运用恰到好处，能够较完美地体现不同歌曲的意境和情趣，颇似Whitney Houston的风格。她曾多次获得格莱美大奖。

One Sweet Day
Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men

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 togetherOne sweet day

Darling, I never showed you
Assumed you'd always be there
I took your presence for granted
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
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day
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
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

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
One sweet day

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
