Mariah Carey Quotes from Song Lyrics
Oh yes, there can be miracle
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
~ Mariah Carey, When You Believe.
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear.
~ Mariah Carey, Hero.
Though I've give you my heart and soul
I must find a way of letting go.
~ Mariah Carey, I Don't Wanna Cry.
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
Cause we belong together.
~ Mariah Carey, We Belong Together.
Call it what you want
It's in your eyes
We gon' make it thru
This I'll prove it
Somethin' bout our love
Will not fade away.
~ Mariah Carey, Last Kiss.
