Seasons of Love
Original Broadway Cast Lyrics

Five hundred twenty-five thousand Six hundred minutes, Five hundred twenty-five thousand Moments so dear
There are 525,600 minutes in a year, and every single one of them is precious.

How do you measure, measure a year?
What is the best way to determine the value of 365 days?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights In cups of coffee In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife
You can measure a year in many different ways: by the number of times the sun rises and sets, the amount of coffee consumed, the length of trips taken, the amount of joy or hardship experienced.

How do you measure a year in the life? How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love
The most important thing to measure a year is how much love was given and received.

Seasons of love
Love is the foundation of all things good and must be celebrated in every season.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand Six hundred minutes Five hundred twenty-five thousand Journeys to plan
Over the course of the year, there are many opportunities to embark on new journeys and experiences.

How do you measure the life Of a woman or a man? In truths that she learned Or in times that he cried In the bridges he burned Or the way that she died
It's important to measure a person's life by the lessons they learned, the hardships they faced, and the ways they impacted those around them.

It's time now to sing out Tho' the story never ends Let's celebrate Remember a year in the life of friends
Even though our stories never end, it's important to celebrate the stories of our friends and loved ones, and the impact they have had on our lives over the last year.

Remember the love (you got to remember the love) Remember the love Remember the love Remember the love Measure measure you life Measure measure you life Measure measure you life Measure measure you life Measure measure you life Measure measure you life, ooh (seasons of love)
Above all, we must remember to measure our lives in terms of the love we gave and received.

In diapers, report cards In spoke wheels, in speeding tickets In contracts, dollars In funerals, in births
There are many milestones that we reach in any given year, from the mundane (like changing diapers or seeing a report card) to the profound (like attending a funeral or witnessing the miracle of birth).

Five hundred twenty-five thousand Six hundred minutes How do you figure A last year on earth?
As we near the end of our time on earth, it's natural to reflect on the value of the previous year and what it meant to us.
