Mariah Carey/Whitney Houston Medley Songtext
von Regine Velasquez

Remember when we held on in the rain?
The nights we almost lost it once again
We can take the night into tomorrow
Living on feelings, touching you, I feel it all again

Didn′t we almost have it all?
When love was all we had worth giving
The ride with you was worth the fall, my friend
Loving you makes life worth living

Didn't we almost have it all?
The night we held on ′til the morning
You know you'll never love this way again
Didn't we almost have it all?

When you love someone so deeply, they become your life
It′s easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly, I imagined I could keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you, I must open up my hands and watch you rise


Spread your wings and prepare to fly (wings)
For you have become a butterfly (oh, yeah)
Fly abandonedly (fly) into the sun (to sun)
If you should return to me (if you should return to me)
We truly were meant to be (we were meant to be)
So spread your wings and fly, butterfly (spread your wings, butterfly, yeah)

I can′t pretend these tears aren't overflowing steadily
I can′t prevent this hurt from almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye, for you'll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun (into the sun)
If you should return to me (I will call you mine)
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly, butterfly (oh, butterfly)

And if you keep falling down
Don′t you dare give in
You will arise, safe and sound
So keep pressing on steadfastly
And you'll find what you need to prevail
Once you say, yeah


I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again
On my own and I know
That I′m strong enough to mend

And every time I feel afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day
And I make it through the rain

And when the wind blows
As shadows grow close
Don't be afraid
There's nothing you can′t face

And should they tell you
You′ll never pull through
Don't hesitate
Stand tall and say, yeah, yeah

I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again
On my own and I know
That I′m strong enough to mend

Every time I feel afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day
And I make it through the rain

I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again
And I live one more day
I can make it through the rain

Because the greatest love of all is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself, it is the greatest love of all

They don't always happen when you ask, oh
And it′s easy to give in to your fears. oh
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can′t see the way, get through the rain
Resilient voice says, "Help is very near," yeah

There can be miracles when you believe 9you believe)
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve?
When you believe, somehow you will (somehow, somehow you will)
Somehow you will (I know, I know, I know you will)
You will, when you believe

You will, when you (you will, when you) believe
