Read part of these lyrics on Sherry’s blog and it jogged my memory of the time I heard this song on the TV. Had wanted to look up the lyrics then, but forgot to do so. Hope you find something in it too that rings true… Here’s Seasons of Love from the musical Rent.
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, tho’ the story never ends
Let’s celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends
Remember the love! Remember the love!
Seasons of love!
Oh you got to got to
Remember the love! Remember the love,
You measure in love. Know that love is a gift from up above
Seasons of love.
Share love, give love spread love
Measure, measure your life in love.
Journey of the Heart
