Dream Lover
Mariah Carey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need a lover to give me
The kind of love that would last always
I need somebody uplifting
To take me away

I want a lover who knows me
Who understands how I feel inside
Someone to comfort and hold me
Through the long lonely nights
Till the dawn
Why don't you take me away

Dream lover come rescue me
Take me up take me down
Take me anywhere you want to baby now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around
'Cause I wanna share forever with you baby

I don't want another pretender
To disillusion me one more time
Whispering words of forever
Playing with my mind

I need someone to hold on to
The kind of love that won't fly away
I just want someone to belong to everyday of my life
Always
So come and take me away

Dream lover come rescue me
Take me up take me down
Take me anywhere you want to baby now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around
'Cause I wanna share forever with you baby

Baby come and take me away

Dream lover come rescue me
Take me up take me down
Take me anywhere you want to baby now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around
'Cause I wanna share forever with you baby

Dream lover come rescue me
Take me up take me down
Take me anywhere you want to baby now
I need you so desperately




Won't you please come around
'Cause I wanna share forever with you baby

The word "forever" holds s lot of power. But, in this case: it's the only word one can truly use to explain the wonder that is this woman.
Young and beautiful for all of time.

Her name is Mariah Carey.
And she is: "now, and forever."

Long shall this goddess of beauty,
Reign supreme. Her youth, her voice and her beauty shall last forever.

She is one of the greatest women to ever walk this Earth.

Now and forever....

The goddess of beauty herself...

Ladies and gentlemen...

Aphrodite IS Mariah Carey.

The freaking quality?? Omg

@madtonesbr

All the 90s music videos kept on film are amazing to watch today. It’s unfortunately a lot of 2000s videos that were mastered on standard video only might be lost unless someone has film masters.

@Meriale46

There is no denying that Mariah has one of the greatest vocal ranges ,if not the best ,in the industry. Her voice is just beautiful and unique. It's not surprising that she still reigns supreme as one of the worlds greatest singers in history. In 100 years from now people will still be listening to her sing. Her voice transcends time and space.

@Clavijosofi

Oh yes, her voice is gold timeless.

@judaspm4542

​@@Clavijosofibruh she has a bad vocal. Even Kanye west can sing better than mariah

@Shawntriesitall

Delusional is the solution ig

@sandrasillery4493

To date Mariah holds the record as songbird supreme in the guinness book of records. Anybody want to compare with that? 😂

@rain-wanders

@@judaspm4542 She has the largest vocal range out of any artist out there. You may not like her range, but she still has the largest and best range. She's seriously queen. It's funny that people can't recognize that because she got a bad name due to bad relationships, but she's always going to be queen.

@mallylive1433
