Music Lyrics Monday: Seasons of Love.


Seasons of Love.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes



Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear

 

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
 



How do you measure, measure a year?




In daylights, in sunsets



In midnights, in cups of coffee




In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife





In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, a year in the life?




How about love?


How about love?


How about love?




Measure in love


Seasons of love
 

Seasons of love



Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

 


Five hundred twenty-five thousand journeys to plan




Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life of a woman or a man?




In truths that she learned

 


Or in times that he cried


In bridges he burned
Or the way that she died



It's time now, to sing out

Though the story never ends



Let's celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends




Remember the love
(Oh, you got to, you got to remember the love)



Remember the love
(You know that life is a gift from up above)






Remember the love
(Share love, give love, spread love)



Measure in love

(Measure, measure your life in love)





Seasons of love

Seasons of love





Measure your life in love.

This song has become a mantra that I hear over and over in my head. At home, at work, at play, and at rest. It makes me ask myself that simple question:

How about love?

Then I smile because that's what it's all about, man. Measuring your life in love.


***
Happy Monday. Again.

Now playing on my mental iPod. . . .

    I love the message. I continue to work on the comment issue (smile) this maybe be a repeat. My comments are short because I think they will go off into never never land.

  9. This is the song that the high school choir sang at Nadia's graduation. It was THE most awful renditions of any song I've ever heard. But the memory of all of us sitting there trying not to pass out laughing is one of the best ever. Glad you have some good memories to go with it, too. :)

  11. I love this song, it's one of my daughter and my favorite songs and musicals. Naturally I sang the words to your pictures in my head, it made them so much more lovely. There is a lot of love on these pages, it shines right through.

    I can go for days with this song stuck in my head, and I don't mind at all. xo
