Vanishing
Mariah Carey Lyrics

If I could recapture
If I could go back in time and relive the cherished moments we shared before things turned sour.

All of the memories
All the fond memories that I have of us when we were happy together.

And bring them to life
If I could make the past come alive, relive our happy moments to experience the warmth and love we shared.

Surely I would
I would definitely do it, without a moment's hesitation or doubt.

Hear the distant laughter
Recall our laughter together and feel the joy that surrounded us back then.

Wasn't it you and me
We were once the perfect couple, and we laughed and enjoyed all the good things in life together.

Surviving the night
We were once so close, holding each other tightly, and nothing could break us apart.

You're fading out of my sight
You're slowly disappearing from my life and my thoughts, and it's breaking my heart.

You're vanishing
You're leaving my life, and I can feel you slipping away from me.

Drifting away
You're floating farther and farther away, and there's nothing that I can do to stop it.

Oh, I was so enraptured
I was completely captivated by your love, and I lost all sense of reason and judgment.

No sensibility
I was blinded by love, and I could not see the flaws and troubles that were brewing between us.

To open my eyes
I never realized how much you meant to me, and how much I loved you until you were gone.

I misunderstood
I took for granted everything that we had, and squandered it all away.

Now you're fading faster
You're moving away from me at an even greater speed, and I'm losing you fast.

It's suddenly hard to see
I can no longer see you, and the feeling of emptiness is all-consuming.

You're taking the light
You're taking away the hope, love, and happiness that we shared for so long.

Letting the shadows inside
You're letting the pain, sorrow, and regret settle in, and it's like darkness consuming everything.

Reaching out into the distance
Trying to find something in the distant past, something that could bring us back together.

Searching for spirits of the past
Looking for the remnants of our love, and the memories that once made us happy.

Just a trace of your existence to grasp
Trying to hold onto something, anything, that reminds me of us and what we had.

Getting so hard to see
The memories are starting to fade and are becoming harder and harder to recall.

Taking the light
You're extinguishing the light of love, and it's causing a deep sense of pain and sadness.

Letting the darkness inside
Allowing the pain and regret to consume me, and it's like I'm drowning in sorrow.
