On October 22, 1990, Mariah performed at the Tatou Club in New York. Mariah's first home video release, The First Vision, included the performances of “Vanishing” and “Don't Play That Song.” Audio versions of these two songs were also included on an Australian release of Mariah's debut album. “Vision Of Love” and “Love Takes Time” were included on the DVD version of Mariah's The First Vision, released exclusively in Japan, as well as on the digital re-release of the special.
Audio and video from the whole concert, with the exception of “Someday,” was made available digitally on July 17, 2020, as part of the celebration of Mariah's 30 years in the music business.

I had it all
But I let it slip away
Couldn't see that I treated you wrong
Now I wander around
Feeling down and cold
Trying to believe that you're gone
Love takes time
To heal when you're hurting so much
Couldn't see that I was blind
To let you go
I can't escape the pain
Inside
Love takes time
I don't want to be here alone
Losing my mind
From this hollow in my heart
Suddenly I'm so incomplete
Lord I'm needing you now
Tell me how to stop the rain
Tears are falling down endlessly
Love takes time
To heal when you're hurting so much
Couldn't see that I was blind
To let you go
I can't escape the pain
Inside
Love takes time
I don't want to be here alone
You might say that it's over
You might say that you don't care
You might say you don't miss me
You don't need me
But I know that you do and I feel that you do
Inside
Love takes time
To heal when you're hurting so much
Couldn't see that I was blind
To let you go
I can't escape the pain
Inside
Love takes time
I don't want to be here alone

You were so blind to let me go
You had it all but didn't know
No one you'll find will ever be
Closer to all your dreams than me
Believing the grass would be greener
You told yourself “I just don't need her now”
But I know you'll soon discover
You're never satisfied with any other
Someday Oo Someday
One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
You'll change your mind and call my name
Soon as you find they're all the same
And when you find yourself alone
Don't come back crying
You should have known
Believe me I'm not pretending
It's not hard to predict
This ending now
'Cause I know you'll soon discover
You're needing me in spite of all the others
Someday Oo Someday
One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
Maybe now you just can't conceive
That there'll ever come a time
When you're cold and lonely
Baby, how could you ever believe
That another could replace me
The one and only
But when your down
In your time of need
And you're thinking that you
Might be coming back to own me
Just think again 'cause
I won't need your love anymore!
Someday Oo Someday
One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score

Treated me kind
Sweet destiny
Carried me through desperation
To the one that was waiting for me
It took so long
Still I believed
Somehow the one that I needed
Would find me eventually
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
Prayed through the nights
Felt so alone
Suffered from alienation
Carried the weight on my own
Had to be strong
So I believed
And now I know I've succeeded
In finding the place I conceived
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
I've realized a dream
And I visualized
The love that came to be
Feel so alive
I'm so thankful that I've received
The answer that heaven has sent down to me
You treated me kind
Sweet destiny
And I'll be eternally grateful
Holding you so close to me
Prayed through the nights
So faithfully
Knowing the one that I needed
Would find me eventually
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 turned out to be

If I could recapture
All of the memories
And bring them to life
Surely I would
Hear the distant laughter
Wasn't it you and me
Surviving the night
You're fading out of my sight
Swiftly
You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing
I was so enraptured
No sensibility
To open my eyes
I misunderstood
Now you're fading faster
It's suddenly hard to see
You're taking the light
Letting the shadows inside
Swiftly
You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing
Reaching out into the distance
Searching for spirits of the past
Just a trace of your existence to grasp
And if somehow I could recapture
All of the memories
And bring them to life
Lord knows I would
But now you're fading faster
Getting so hard to see
Taking the light
Letting the darkness inside
Swiftly
You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing

Don't play that song for me
'Cause it brings back memories
Of days that I once knew
Those days that I spent with you
Oh no, don't let 'em play it (Oh no)
'Cause it fills up my heart with pain (It hurts)
So please, stop it right away
'Cause I remember just what he said
He said darling (Darling I love you)
But I know that he lied (Darling I need you)
Know that you lied (Darling I love you)
Darling, you lied, lied, you lied (To me)
Hey mister, don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
I can't stand it
Don't play it no more (No more, no more)
No more (I can't stand it)
I remember on our first date
He kissed me and he walked away
I was only seventeen
I never dreamed he'd be so mean
He told me darling (Darling I love you)
But baby, baby, you lied (Darling I need you)
Ooh you lied (Darling I love you)
Darling, you lied, lied, you lied (To me)
Oh… darling (Darling I love you)
You know that you lied (Darling I need you)
Hey baby, I know that you lied (Darling I love you)
Darling, you lied, lied, you lied and hurt me (To me)
Don't play it no more, no baby
Don't play it no more, don't do it
Don't play it no more
'Cause I can't stand it no more
Written by Ahmet Ertegun and Betty Nelson.
