Song of the Day - A Thousand Years - Christina Perri

Oftentimes on my Song of the Day posts, I like to share songs that not only move me, but move some of the people in my life, and today's song is one of those.  Just a couple of weeks ago, I shared a song that had been shared with me by my Brazilian friend Rander.  It was one of the songs from the show Pretty Little Liars and though I didn't know it before, I enjoyed it enough to share it here.  That same friend shared this one with me, too!

Today's song I already knew, however, though not for too long.  It was a favorite of my Chilean pal Jorge, who played it enough times for me to know it and like it.  I still don't know much about Christina Perri, but she's got a sweet voice and this song is simply beautiful.  Take a listen...

A Thousand Years

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
