One Sweet Day- Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men
Sorry, I’ve never told you, all I wanted to say
And now it’s too late to hold you
‘Cause you’ve flown away
So far away
Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feelin’ and knowing you, hear me
It keeps me alive, alive
And I know you’re shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together
One sweet day
Eventually I’ll see you in Heaven
Darling, I never showed you
Assumed you’d always be there
I, I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared
I know you’re shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together
One sweet day
Picture a little scene from Heaven
Although, the sun will never shine the same
I’ll always look to a brighter day
Yeah, Lord, I know, when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray
And I know you’re shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together
One sweet day
And I know you’re shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together
One sweet day
Sorry, I never told you
All I wanted to say

“One Sweet Day” conveys a message of showing importance, care, and happiness to those people you love because we will never know the day they’ll say goodbye. Regrets appear when we take a person for granted, and we didn’t show them how happy you were that they become part of your life. Your apologies would be a waste because you wasted and taken for granted the days you have left with them because of you thought they’d stay with you forever.
In the song, it also emphasizes that one sweet day, you’ll see each other again in heaven. And no matter how bright the sun and your day is, it will never be the same without the person you loved. Don’t make it come to a point where all you do is fight and argue. Instead of spitting fire to them that can boil their temper, say flowery and wonderful words to the person and eventually, they’ll appreciate your words and feel your love for them.
