An epic love song for this Monday.  This song didn’t roll until the credits, but it kept me in my seat at the theatre.  When someone asks me what song exemplifies my romantic ideals (usually expressed as “What song would you like played at your wedding when you have one?), it’s this one.  It’s passionate and intense and even mentions reincarnation — Where there is love, life begins, over and over again.

Who do you love like this?  Have you told them lately?

LYRICS:

Moon so bright, night so fine
Keep your heart here with mine
Life’s a dream we are dreaming

Race the moon, catch the wind
Ride the night to the end
Seize the day, stand up for the light

I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do

Heroes rise, heroes fall
Rise again, win it all
In your heart, can’t you feel the glory?

Through our joy, through our pain
We can move worlds again
Take my hand, dance with me

I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I could spend my lifetime loving you

Though we know we will never come again
When there is love, life begins
Over and over again

Save the night, save the day
Save your love, come what may
Love is worth everything we pay

I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I can spend my life time loving you
