So I know everyone is sick of Brigadoon, but I was singing the lyrics to the song From This Day On, and the lyrics are really beautiful:
TOMMY:
You and the world we knew will glow, till my life is through;
For you're part of me from this day on.
And someday if I should love, it's you I'll be dreaming of,
For you're all I'll see from this day on.
These hurried hours were all the life we could share.
Still, I will go with not a tear, just a prayer
That when we are far apart, you'll find something from your heart
Has gone! Gone with me from this day on.
(spoken)
You see? We mustn't be sorry about anything.
FIONA:
I'm not. In fact, I shouldna be surprised if I'll be less
lonely now than I was afore ye came. I think real loneliness
is no' bein' in love in vain, but no' bein' in love at all.
We should try to love each other this much no matter who we are. We should charish each others, as friends, as lovers, as councilors, as parents, as children.
We take peices of each other wherever we go and we should strive to effect each other's lives.
Those are the only true good unselfish acts; to love someone enough to show them who you really are and let yourself take a peice of them with you. That is the only way to not be sucked into the loneliness that dwells in all of our hearts.
Maybe now I can sleep better.
(Hold the insomniac all night)
