"Each evening I look to the sunset
and dream of the day you and I
will be gazing side by side...
And often I wonder if you're looking up
at this same moment wondering the same...
One day soon we'll not have to wonder again...
we'll only find it hard to differentiate
between the stars in the sky and
the stars we see in each other's eyes..."

ONE SWEET DAY
Mariah Carey & BoyZ II Men





    Intro :   G#  C#  F#  Eb
    G#                  C#

    Sorry I never told you  

    G#                    C#

    All I wanted to say

    G#                                  C# 

    And now it's too late to hold you

                            F# 

    'cause you've flown away

          Eb 

    So far away 
    G#                C#

    Never had I imagined 

    G#                              C#

    Living without your smile

    G#                                     C# 

    Feeling and knowing you hear me

                          F# 

    It keeps me alive

       Eb 

    Alive 

  

    Chorus 1: 

               G#                                                          C#       

    And I know you're shining down on me from heaven

    Eb7       G#                                                  C#         

    Like so many friends we've lost along the way 

    Eb7    G#                                       C#

    And I know eventually we'll be together

                       F#    Eb 

    One sweet day 

                                           G#

    Eventually we'll sing in heaven 

  

    Darling I never showed you 

    Assumed you'd always be there 

    And I took your presence for granted 

    But I always cared 

    And I miss the love we shared 

  

    Repeat Chorus 1

  

    C#  C7          Fm                      

    Although the sun will never shine the same 

    C#                 Eb                         G#

    I'll always look to a brighter day 

    C         C7                 Fm

    Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep

    Bb7                                     Eb   

    You will always listen as I pray 

  

    Chorus 2: 

    F#7    B                                                             E       

    And I know you're shining down on me from heaven

    F#7      B                                                     E      

    Like so many friends we've lost along the way 

    F#7     B                                         E

    And I know eventually we'll be together

                       A    F# 

    One sweet day 

                                     

    Repeat Chorus 2

  

    B                     E

    Sorry I never told you

    B                      E 

    All I wanted to say
