Vision of Love
Mariah Carey · 1990
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- I had a vision of love
- And it was all that you've given to me
- Prayed through the nights
- Felt so alone
Sing it again — final chorus
- I had a vision of love
- And it was all that you've given to me
- I had a vision of love
- And it was all that you've given me
