Mariah Carey – Vanishing lyrics
If I could recapture
All of the memories
And bring them to life
Surely I would
Hear the distant laughter
Wasn't it you and me
Surviving the night
You're fading out of my sight
Swiftly
Chorus:
You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing

I was so enraptured
No sensibility
To open my eyes
I misunderstood
Now you're fading faster
It's suddenly hard to see
You're taking the light
Letting the shadows inside
Swiftly

Chorus

Reaching out into the distance
Searching for spirits of the past
Just a trace of your existence to grasp
And if somehow I could recapture
All of the memories
And bring them to life
Lord knows I would
But now you're fading faster
Getting so hard to see
Taking the light
Letting the darkness inside
Swiftly
Chorus

    Fading lust. Cause love doesn't fade. Being sung from a foreboding place! As if she knew it would come to this from day one. It's more mystical than emotional. The lines come off as they were prepared but lived. Not rehersed. Kinda gospely purposely to showcase the singer/writers range moreso than spiritual! A home run performance! & composition! I was in the room with her the first time mariah sang this for sony epic & radio programers! She does it even better & more pure in person! Almost tracending like her pipes are a stargate! You go mariah!
