A Thousand Years? That’s a whole lot of years for a single human to ever lived his or her life. Your thoughts might suddenly wander to a song that has captivated millions of the Twilight fans recently with the screening of ‘Breaking Dawn’, Part 1 of the vampire saga. Two souls have finally made it despite all odds that have engulfed their relationship since the beginning. Like most love stories, true love would ousted the test of time. Err….like a fairytale. But in reality not all true love would have a happy ending. Lucky for Edward and Bella, their fairytale did indeed came thru. The lyrics to this song is just beautiful and it depicts exactly the feelings Edward has for his lovely bride, Bella as he stood at the end of the aisle waiting for her to move towards him ….. 

(1st Verse)

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

(*chorus)

One Step Closer….

I have died everyday

Waiting for you

Darlin’ don’t be afraid

I have loved you for a 

Thousand years

I’ll love you for a Thousand more

(2nd Verse)

Time stands still

Beauty i know 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

Repeat (*)

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

Repeat (*)

Listening to this song being played over the radio just got me into tears. The melody was captivating and so was the beautiful lyrics. There was this sudden rush of emotions felt through this song. You could feel Edward’s feelings unfold through this lovely number. Bravo Chirstina Perri and thank you for making such a beautiful song with those beautiful voice that moves us so profoundly. 

I have waited for a thousand years to embrace such a beautiful song….and i’ll wait for a thousand more if life permits….. -Edward & Bella forever & ever-

One things for sure, music is a universal language that connects humans regardless of their race and religion. It doesn’t need one to be in love to truly feel the meaning of this song.  All you need is a pair of ears and an open heart.
