How Do You Measure a Year?

In honor of my new blog, chronically a "year in the life," I want to throw in some of my favorite lyrics to a song from Rent. I'm sure this will be the first of many lyrics I use to express myself here - I am a confirmed Broadway/Country/Christian music lover and think that if I were a scooch more talented (LOL) I'd be a composer. Or if I were a scooch more emo I'd be a poet.

Anyway, here's "Seasons of Love" from Rent:

525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.

525,600 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 525,600 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.

525,600 minutes! 525,000 journeys to plan.

525,600 minutes - how can you measure the life of a woman or 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! Remember the love!

Measure in love...Seasons of love!
