I don't know why I like this one. Somehow it just seems to express "me." (whatever that is) It's not just the words or tune, but a determined avowal of "this is the way it is." Does that make sense?


LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING
words, Charles Hart and Don Black; music, Andrew Lloyd Webber
as sung by Michael Ball in the musical "Aspects of Love"

Love, love changes everything
Hands and faces, earth and sky
Love, love changes everything
How you live and how you die
Love, can make the summer fly
Or a night seem like a lifetime
Yes love, love changes everything
Now I tremble at your name
Nothing in the world will ever be the same

Love, love changes everything
Days are longer, words mean more
Love, love changes everything
Pain is deeper than before
Love will turn your world around
And that world will last forever
Yes love, love changes everything
Brings you glory, brings you shame
Nothing in the world will ever be the same

Off into the world we go
Planning futures, shaping years
Love bursts in and suddenly all our wisdom disappears
Love makes fools of everyone
All the rules we make are broken
Yes love, love changes everyone
Live or perish in its flame
Love will never never let you be the same
Love will never never let you be the same
