And I know eventually we'll be in Paris
And I know eventually we'll be together
And I know eventually we'll be in heaven
And I know eventually we'll be together
And I know eventually we'll be together
Once we dead.
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day.
And I know eventually we'll sing together
Once we're gay
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
I took your breasts for granted
I took your presence for granted
I took your breath for granted
I took your presence for granted
I took your love for granted
I took your presence for granted
It keeps me tonight
It keeps me alive
It keeps me twenty-five.
It keeps me alive, alive.
Mariah was actually 25 years old when this song was recorded, so the misheard version could make sense.
Like so many frogs we've lost along the way
or
Like so many frogs we've locked upon the hay
or
Like so many frogs we've blocked along the way
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
Once we die
One sweet day
Once we're dead
One sweet day
Picture me in heaven
Picture a little scene in heaven
Someway, I never told you
All I wanted to say...
Sorry, I never told you
All I wanted to say...
Sorry, I never touched you
Sorry, I never told you
The feeling the moment you hear me
Feeling and knowing you hear me
