LYRICS
Doesn't it ever stay
Must it always fade away
Couldn't love ever be
Something tangible and real
Farewell, fairweather friend
Abandonment returns to taunt me again

I only wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
Foolishly I romanticized
Someone was saving my life
For the first time
I only wanted you to be there when I
Opened up my eyes

I was caught in your masquerade
Wish I'd stayed beneath my veil
But it just seemed so easy to
Open up myself to you
Once more into the wind
The embers scatter
And the chill settles in

I only wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
Foolishly I romanticized
Someone was saving my life
For the first time
I only wanted you to be there when I
Opened up my eyes

Guitar solo

Oh
I only wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
Foolishly I romanticized
Someone was saving my life
For the first time
I only wanted you to be
The one to get me through that night

I only wanted you
To be there when I
Opened up my eyes
Oh
Doesn't it ever stay?
I only wanted you to
Stay

who wrote this song? damn its good!



[welshangel13]

@piegator Mariah and Lionel Cole wrote this song together. They also wrote Through The Rain and Sunflowers For Alfred Roy Together.

Umm is there a leaky faucet? anyone know a good plummer ?

[welshangel13]

@onlocash LMAO! yeah if i had my way i'd take the 'dripping' sound out of the song. Doesn't add anything to the song. It's like that Pitbull song ' i know u want me', that has this annoying submarine blimp thing going on...strange....

[IRISistibleMakeup]

@welshangel13 i guess it's the tears?

[welshangel13]

@IRISistibleMakeup haha maybe!

[Linz5115]

One of my favorites of Mariah's

[yellowtents]

This was such a weak album.

[BlackLightning20101]

Mariah is an AMAZING songwriter...

[JEISON99]

The singer is already a well-known, much loved artist. I have grown up through the years with her beautiful melodious singing. High or Low times, she is an unmatched singing star and a goddess in her own right. I wish her always the best, and one more... compliments to that extra thing in the song. -- I call it 'sonoric art' ( the sound of droplets ) . Thank you for letting me see and hear not just what is plainly presented in the song. AMAZING!!!!

"Dosent it ever stay? Must it always fade away.."

[nothinghumanlovesfor]

when this cd and tour came out i lost my brother but still that year i was able to meet her, and wow don't let the beauty fool u, she has even more beauty on the inside, truly a real soul she is so sweet and out of so many singers she lives for her fans, i don't see that too often with her singers any more....

[314chgreen]

charmbracelet was a truly underated album

[PrinceMontrey]

This is like part 2 to "After Tonight" from Rainbow. Charm-bracelet was severely underrated and should've got more recognition. I always consider it to be a part 2 album of Rainbow because of the choices from each song and the fact that Joe was featured on both albums.

@ChantellePaigeTiaX That's sooo true, i think this is one of her best albums.... such amazing songs!!
