Boyz II Men
One Sweet Day (Live From the Honda Center, Anaheim, CA / 2006)
[Intro: Mariah Carey]
Now I have an incredibly special moment...
I usually do something that I quite enjoy during this section...
We're gonna do it next time...
But um... before I say anything
Once again, I gotta thank everybody for being here with me- that’s been here tonight
The singers, the band...
I got some of the most amazing...
People back here behind me and...
I mean, the dancers came out, it was just all
Spectacularity and I just, you know, I really can't know what to say
These two singing girls won't еven sing for the peoplе ’cause if they do they know I wouldn't get back on this thing, they're being nice to me... by not doing that, 'cause they're incredible
Sherry Tatum and MaryAnn Tatum, the queen of Brownsville and the empress of Brownsville, Brooklyn...
So... and Trey, thank you so much for everything, as always, don't forget to get Trey's album, please
Now I know I'm rambling and we’re taping a show, so we’re jsut gonna edit certain parts out...
But I have a very big surprise for you tonight, and I was very surprised by this...
Um... I wanna do a song for you that uh... how do I- how do I say it... you can't call it a duet ’cause it was done with a group of people...
But this song... we wrote this song together, me and my special guests and I might as well just bring them out...
Ladies and gentlemen, Boyz II Men!
I'm so happy they're here tonight!
[Verse 1: 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
[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
I said it keep me alive
[Chorus: Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men]
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
(Sing up! Sing along with us! If you ever lost somebody, one hand in the sky!)
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
(Together)
One sweet day
(And all I that I know is I wait patiently to see you in heaven)
[Verse 3: Boyz II Men & (Mariah Carey)]
Darling I never showed you (I never showed you)
Assumed you'd always be there
(Always always always)
I took your presence for granted
But I always cared (but I always cared)
And I miss the love we shared
[Chorus: Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men]
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
(Sing Shawn...)
One sweet day
(And all that I know is I wait patiently to see you in heaven)
[Bridge: Mariah Carey & (Boyz II Men)]
(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
[Chorus: Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men]
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
(I know)
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
(Yeah! Like so many! Sing...)
And I know eventually we'll be together
(Yes I know! I know! We'll be together)
One sweet day
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
[Chorus: Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men]
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
(I know you're shining down on me, I'll see you eventually)
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
(I know, I know yeah yeah, yes we will!)
One sweet day
(One sweet day, patiently to see you in heaven)
[Outro: Mariah Carey & (Boyz II Men)]
Sing it up with us in the end, sing the last line
(Sorry) I never told you
All I, sing it up (wanted to say)
(God bless you, thank you)
Thank you so much! Boyz II Men!
I miss you! I wanna like sit down and have a party... have a- have a moment...
Thank you guys so much for being here, I wish we were here all night together
One more time, give it up, Boyz II Men!
