In 2007, Kelly Clarkson – American Idol’s first winner – met with Florida teen Carissa, sharing with her a dream-come-true. Carissa was born with spina bifida, a birth defect that occurs when a portion of the spinal column fails to develop and close properly. This condition has left Carissa with severe mobility limitations. She must wear leg braces and requires a wheelchair for distance. In addition, Carissa has suffered from hydrocephalus, a condition which causes fluid to build up around the brain.

When she was дана the opportunity for a very special wish to come true, she chose to meet Kelly Clarkson, her absolute Избранное singer! She was able to watch Kelly perform a live концерт before heading back stage for a meet & greet. The two chatted together, posed for pictures, and exchanged gifts. Carissa summed up the experience by saying simply: “This was the best день of my life!”

No, I can't forget this evening
или your face as Ты were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
Ты always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes it shows

I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore

I can't live
If living is without you
Can't live
Can't give anymore

Well I can't forget this evening
или your face as Ты were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
Ты always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yeah, yes it shows

Can't live
If living is without you
Can't live
I can't give anymore
Can't live (no, can't live)
If living is without Ты (No, I can't live)
Oh, I can't live
Can't give anymore, oh

(No, can't live)
(No, I can't live)
No, oh yeah, no, no, no, no, no
I can't live

Blue, I'm getting kinda close to you
Like a shadow I can't lose
Hey, you've been hangin' with me every day
Now you're gettin' in my way
I know Ты understand me
But don't ya think that maybe it's time to Переместить on

[chorus]
What's up lonely
Seems you're my only
Friend who wants to share my pain
Tell me heartache
What's it gonna take
For Ты to leave me alone today
Just when I think that you're gone
You're in the mirror lookin' back at me
So what's up lonely

Sometimes, I wish Ты weren't by my side
Can't Ты find another shoulder, cause I
I wanna leave this broken сердце behind
We been wastin' too much time
Find someone else to rain on
I'm really getting' tired of singin' this sad song

[chorus]

Don't wanna give Ты a reason
To hang around anymore
Ты won't be hurting my feelings
If Ты find another broken сердце Ты can lean on

Ooh, ooh
If Ты see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by boy, walk on by

Make believe that Ты don't see the tears
Just let me grieve in private
Cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
Boy, walk on by

I just can't get over losing you
And so, if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by boy, walk on by

Foolish pride is all that have left
So let me hide the tears and the sadness
Ты gave me when Ты сказал(-а) goodbye
Boy, walk on by

Ooh, ooh yeah, make believe that Ты don't see the tears honey
Let me grieve in private
Cause each time I see you
I just break down and cry
Oh oh, just walk on by
Walk on, walk on
Ooh, ooh boy, walk on by

Ooh
Don't think I can't feel that there's something wrong
You've been the sweetest part of my life for so long
I look in your eyes, there's a distant light
And Ты and I know
There'll be a storm tonight
But baby this is serious
Are Ты thinkin' 'bout Ты или us

Don't say what you're about to say
Look back before Ты leave my life
Be sure before Ты close that door
Before Ты roll those dice
Baby think twice

Baby this is serious (this is serious)
Are Ты thinking 'bout Ты или us

Baby (don't say what your about to say)
No, no, no, no

Look back before Ты leave my life (don't leave my life)
Be sure before Ты close that door
Before Ты roll those dice

Baby, think twice
I depend on you
Before Ты sacrifice
Before roll those dice
Baby, think twice

Prayed for an angel
To come in the night
And shine some sweet light on me
Found only strangers
Then Ты came to me
Just when I'd дана up, Ты gave me love
My world was tumbling down
Ты turned it around baby

[chorus]
You, you're some kind of miracle
Ты are, you're a miracle to me

Sweet revelation
That look in your eyes
Your touch in the night
I find the sweetest salvation
In your arms baby
Warm as the morning sun, your tender love
Came and just lifted me up
Look what you've done baby

[chorus]

Ты brought joy to my heart
I found Любовь in your arms
See what you've done to me
Ты set my soul so free
Ты came and Ты gave me the Любовь that I need

You, you're some kind of miracle
Ты are, you're a miracle, a miracle to me
Baby Ты are, a miracle to me

Frozen, forgetful again
The part where I lose my head
The scene where I'm supposed to speak but instead
I sit and listen again, I'm stuck with these cards I guess

Leaping from this cliff in my thoughts
I fly like the stones in my heart
Drowning in doubt for what reason
I sit so patiently
Drenched in what Ты want me to be
I can't escape

I'm ready now
Oh I'm ready now
Oh I'm ready now
Come get me

Fearless with cape in hand
Conquer what I need to to mend
Little girls get so broken
But I sit so patiently
Drenched in what Ты want me to be
I can't see no escape

I'm ready now
Oh I'm ready now
Oh I'm ready now
Come get me

Through with golden roads and perfect love
Too much of your mouth is like too much sun
How I burn
How I burn
I was so patient waiting for my turn
Fly like stone
As I break every bone
(Come get me)

I'm ready now
Oh I'm ready now
Oh I'm ready now
Come get me

I'm ready now
Oh I'm ready now
Oh I'm ready now
Come get me

Ты don't know how Ты shine
I guess no one told you,
So let me be the first to Показать how I
Любовь your eyes when Ты smile
Can't resist Ты even when I try

One день you'll see
One день you'll believe me

I don't know why they laugh
I won't ever understand foolish hearts and careless hands
I'm not like the rest of them
I'll be here forever
Til my last breath

One день you'll see
One день you'll believe me
One день you'll know
One день I won't have to Показать you

All I know is that I've found what I've been looking for
Held Ты once, and took a chance, and asked for a little more
Ты don't know how Ты light up every room или how Ты shine
I guess no one ever told you
If Ты don't mind

One день you'll see
One день you'll believe me
One день you'll know
One день I won't have to Показать you

Oh holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear saviour's birth

Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Til he appeared
And the soul felt it's worth

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees
Oh hear the Ангелы voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night, Oh night divine

Oh holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear saviour's birth

Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Til he appeared
And the soul felt it's worth

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees
Oh hear the Энджел voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night, Oh night divine
