When I Saw You (Mariah Carey Cover)

from Diamonds and Plastic by Reuben Walton

/

about

Every ballad on Mariah Carey's 1995 album Daydream pretty much could make a grown man cry, so I wanted to cover this song because of its beautiful refrain melody. It is also pretty difficult to sing (a lot of legato notes, trills and vocal runs with quick breaths that you kind of have to sneak in). I'm not sure if the instrumental I used is the actual instrumental from the album version, just pitched down to the male vocal range, or a karaoke version made for the male vocal range. I recorded it from YouTube using the Audio Hijack application on my MacBook.

lyrics

Soft heavenly eyes gazed into me Transcending space and time And I was rendered still There were no words for me to find at all As I stood there beside myself I could see you and no one else Chorus When I saw you When I saw you I could not breathe, I fell so deep When I saw you When I saw you I'd never be, I'd never be the same Only once in a lifetime love rushes in Changing you with the tide And dawn's ribbon of light Bursts through the dark Wakening you inside And I thought it was all untrue Until there all at once I knew When I saw you When I saw you I could not breathe, I fell so deep When I saw you When I saw you I'd never be, I'd never be the same With no beginning and Without an end You are the one for me It's evident And your eyes told me so Your eyes let me know... When I saw you When I saw you I could not breathe, I fell so deep When I saw you When I saw you I'd never be, I'd never be the same
