Song of the day: "Seasons of Love" from the musical Rent

Following up on my post of the lyrics to the song "Take me or leave me" from Rent, I should also mention the iconic and most famous song from Rent, "Seasons of Love."

COMPANY
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.

SOLOISTS 1 & 2
525,600 minutes! 525,000 journeys to plan.
525,600 minutes - how do you measure the life of a woman or man?

SOLOIST 1
In truths that she learned,

SOLOIST 2
Or in times that he cried.

SOLOIST 1
In bridges he burned,

SOLOIST 2
Or the way that she died....

COMPANY
It's time now to sing out,
The story never ends
Let's celebrate -- remember a year in the life of friends.
How about love! How about love! How about love!
Measure in love.
Seasons of love!
Seasons of love.
