I'D LOVE THIS SONG FOR A THOUSAND YEARS

For a thousand years...

If that's a promise, we will never know.

Nevertheless, Christina Perri's "A Thousand Years" is a beautiful song that would tear me up if the occasion is beautiful enough. Heard this song while watching founder of Nuffnang and blogger Timothy Tiah's proposal to Four Feet Nine (Audrey Ooi).

No offense but what struck me wasn't the creativity of the proposal, because to be honest, I think there are many other even more exciting and creative proposals. Nonetheless, I would not write the proposal using MeMe off as uncreative.

Anyway my point is this, the song was the reason the proposal was beautiful.

At that moment, I knew I have found my new song.

Christina Perri's A Thousand Years.

Simple yet melodically beautiful, this new single sings a completely different tune compared to her first emo single 'Jars of Heart'. If the first is the expression of anger and hatred, the latter is an expression of pure love.

The video on the proposal led me straight to the music video and I found out that it was from the Soundtrack of Twilight: Breaking Dawn. No wonder! It explains everything....A thousand years...only vampires can afford a love that long. Sometimes, I wonder if they get sick of each other.

This song, I think I will dedicate to those who have found true love that true. Here's to you:

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

For someone who is so skeptical of relationship, I personally hope that one day I can sing this to someone who is worth taking a leap of faith with. 

[Chorus:]

I have died everyday 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 everyday 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 everyday 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
