Seasons of Love

ALL
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

HOMELESS WOMAN
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?

COLLINS
In truths that she learned,
Or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned,
Or the way that she died.

ALL
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!

HOMELESS WOMAN (while ALL sing)
Oh you got to got to
Remember the love!
You know that love is a gift from up above
Share love, give love spread love
Measure measure your life in love.





Another great song its from the movie rent... touching song about the importance of love and how your life would be measured through it! nothing will be more important than LOVE... no matter who you are or how you live your lifewithout love it will be nothing...

Graduation song

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of the night in June
I Didn't know much of love, but it came too soon
And There was me and you, and then it got real blue
Stay at home talkin' on the telephone and
We would get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels...
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever...
So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back now, will that joke still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels...
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever...
La, la, la, la; yeah, yeah, yeahLa, la, la, la, we will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever...


Do you still remember the first album you bought? For me it was Vitamin C’s self titled first album… And in some way special to me because it was from my hard earned cash, it was the salary I got from helping out my aunt at her store… I bought an A track out of my whole week’s salary (cd’s were not yet made back then) and it automatically became my favorite album. I listen to all the songs and write the lyrics so that I could sing along with the tape.

Big Girls Dont Cry

Da Da Da Da

The smell of your skin lingers on me now

You're probably on your flight back to your home town

I need some shelter of my own protection baby

To be with myself and center, clarity

Peace,

Serenity

[CHORUS:]

I hope you know, I hope you know

That this has nothing to do with you

It's personal, myself and I

We've got some straightenin' out to do

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket

But I've got to get a move on with my life

It's time to be a big girl now

And big girls don't cry

Don't cry

Don't cry

Don't cry

The path that I'm walking

I must go alone

I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown

Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?

And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

[CHORUS]

Like the little school mate in the school yard

We'll play jacks and uno cards

I'll be your best friend and you'll be my Valentine

Yes you can hold my hand if you want to'

Cause I want to hold yours too

We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds

But it's time for me to go home

It's getting late, dark outside

I need to be with myself and center, clarity

Peace, Serenity

[CHORUS]

La Da Da Da Da Da


Aside from Gwen this is another female artist that i truly love! The very talented Fergie and this is one of my favorite song she sang... Big Girls Dont Cry! the lines "I need to be with myself and center, clarity, peace, serenity" really hit me... i guess this is the most common problem we face, finding our self or having time for our self... We are so busy with work or helping other people with there own problems that we may forget that we have problems of our own to face also. Our own battles to win, alone!

The Sweet Escape

Ooooh ooh ooooooh ooh (x 4)
If I could escape
I would, but first of all let me say
I must apologize for acting, thinking, treating you this way
Cause I've been acting like sour milk fell on the floor
It's your fault, you didn't shut the refrigerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold
If I could escape
And re-create a place in my own world
And I could be your favorite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Now tell me boy, wouldn't that be sweet?
If I could be sweetI know I've been a real bad girl

I didn't mean for you to get hurt
Forever, we can make it better
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?
Sweet escape
Ooooh ooh ooooooh ooh (x 4)
You left me down
So baby, it's time to getting a little crazy
Hopefully you don't leave me

If I could escape
And re-create a place in my own world
And I could be your favorite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Now tell me boy, wouldn't that be sweet?
If I could be sweetI know I've been a real bad girl
I didn't mean for you to get hurt
Forever, we can make it better
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?

Ever since her Nodoubt days i've been a fan of Gwen Stefani! I like her style and i certainly love her music... Gwen is Gwen and she brings my sweet escape!
