This is my favorite song in the album "Butterfly" from Mariah Carey. If anyone notices, there are only two chords in this song except the bridge. Isn't it kind of boring song? Well, you can listen to it yourself.
Close my eyes

It's not the song I would repeat it at the first time. Not even a song I could easily sing along. After reading the lyric and listening again without any interruption, I couldn't resist it anymore. Particularly when I am stressful or sad, this is my only choice.
She has a lot of "healing" songs, but this is the best.
I was a wayward child
With the weight of the world
That I held deep inside
Life was a winding road
And I learned many things
Little ones shouldn't know
But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time's rolled by
Still I feel like that child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up
A little too soon
Funny how one can learn
To grow numb to the madness
And block it away
I left the worst unsaid
Let it all dissipate
And I try to forget
As I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And the time rolled by
Still I feel like a child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up
A little too soon
Nearing the edge
Oblivious
I almost fell right over
A part of me
Will never be quite able
To feel stable
That woman-child falling inside
Was on the verge of fading
Thankfully, I woke up in time
Guardian angel
I sail away on an ocean
With you by my side
Orange clouds roll by
They burn into your image
And you're still alive
But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And the time rolled by
Still I feel like a child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up
A little too soon
試譯:
從小就是個任性的小孩
承受著外在的壓力
我只把它藏在心裡
人生這條蜿蜒的路程
多少讓我領悟了一些事
這小小年紀不應該知道的世界
然而我會閉上雙眼
堅定地站著
仰望著天空
隨著時間流逝
再一次看著一輪明月
彷彿那個小孩還停留在我心裡
或許當時我太早熟了點
奇妙的是一個人如何地改變
從完全麻木到瘋狂
如何地鎖住心房
這些難過的事我最好別說
就讓它隨風飄散
在我記憶中消失
然而我會閉上雙眼
堅定地站著
仰望著天空
隨著時間流逝
再一次看著一輪明月
彷彿那個小孩還停留在我心裡
或許當時我太早熟了點
不知不覺到了邊緣
我差點跌了下去
一部份的我
將永遠無法感到平靜
心中查覺到的小孩
正在消失...
幸好我及時醒來
守護天使
跟隨著我一起在海浪中航行
你的影像烙印在橘色的雲朵中
而你的形體
將永恆不滅
然而我會閉上雙眼
堅定地站著
仰望著天空
隨著時間流逝
再一次看著一輪明月
彷彿那個小孩還停留在我心裡
或許當時我太早熟了點
