Mariah Carey - My All
I came to know Mariah Carey because of my sister. She listened to Mariah heavily when she was in her teens and early twenties (still do today, but not as much), playing every song from various albums over and over and over again. It didn’t take long for the whole family, and maybe the residents above and below us, the music being so loud, to know that Mariah Carey was my sister’s favorite music artist. I really didn’t mind being forced to listen to Mariah, since I enjoyed her voice and she sang of things I was too young to understand, but knew I wanted to experience.
Fast forward to today and my sister’s taste in Mariah is still a part my own. There are few singers out there who can compete with Mariah in talent or success. She has sold over 200 million albums worldwide and possesses, no doubt, one of the greatest voices in the music industry, with the ability to cover a wide variety of vocal ranges (not so much today, since her voice has undergone some wear over the years). One of my favorite songs by her is My All. It’s a soulful ballad that has Mariah singing about her affections for someone and wanting to be with the one she loves. Enjoy.
Verse 1
I am thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it’s wrong to love you
Then my heart just won’t let me be right
cause I’ve drowned in you
And I won’t pull through
Without you by my side
Chorus
I’d give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I’d risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
cause I can’t go on
Living in the memory of our song
I’d give my all for your love tonight
Verse 2
Baby can you feel me
Imagining I’m looking in your eyes
I can see you clearly
Vividly emblazoned in my mind
And yet you’re so far
Like a distant star
I’m wishing on tonight
Chorus 2X
I’d give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I’d risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
cause I can’t go on
Living in the memory of our song
I’d give my all for your love tonight
