Never Forget You
Mariah Carey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See your smile
And I won't hear you laugh anymore
Every night
I won't see you walk through that door
'Cause time wasn't on your side
It isn't right
It's too late to tell you
But I really need you to know, oh baby
No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
Oh, you will always be here with me
Oh, I'll hold on to the memories, baby
Baby, can you hear me
Wherever you may be tonight?
Oh, oh, are you near me
I need you to be by my side
'Cause I never said goodbye
It isn't right
I should have said I love you
Why didn't I just tell you
God knows I need you to know, oh baby
No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
Oh, you will always be here with me
Oh, and I'll hold on to the memories, baby
Somewhere (somewhere)
I know you'll be with me
Someday (someday)
In another time
But right now, you're gone
You've just vanished away
But I'll never leave you behind
No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
Oh, you will always be here with me
Oh, I'll hold on to the memories
Oh, you will always be dear to me, baby (and on and on and on and on)
(Forever, ever, oh, no, no)
No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart (no, baby, no, baby, ooh)
Oh, you will always be here with me (always, always)
Oh, I'll hold on to the memories
No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart (no, baby, no, baby)

"Never Forget You"
I won't see your smile
And I won't hear you laugh
Anymore
Every night
I won't see you walk
Through that door
'Cause time wasn't on your side
It isn't right
I can't say I love you
It's too late to tell you
But I really need you to know
[Chorus:]
Oh baby no
I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
You will always be here with me
I'll hold on to the memories baby
Now baby can you hear me
Wherever you may be
Tonight
Are you near me
I need you to be
By my side
'Cause I never said goodbye
It isn't right
I should have said I love you
Why didn't I just tell you
God knows I need you to know
[Chorus]
Somewhere I know you'll be with me
Someday in another time
But right now you're gone
You just vanished away
But I'll never leave you behind
[Chorus]
