Roger, this is your mother

Roger, honey

I don't get these postcards

"Moving to Santa Fe"

"Back in New York

Starting a rock band"

Roger, where are you?

Roger, where are you?

Roger, where are you?

Roger, where are you?

Kitten, wherever are you?

Kitten, wherever are you?

Kitten, wherever are you?

Mark, are you there? Are you there?

I don't know if-

Please

Call

Your mother

- Christmas bells are ringing

- Christmas bells are ringing

Christmas bells are ringing

How time flies

When compassion dies

No stockings, no candy canes

No gingerbread, no safety net

No loose change

No change, no

- Santy Claus is coming

- 'Cause Santy Claus ain't coming

No room at the Holiday Inn again

Well, maybe next year

Or when

December 24th, 10 p. m.

Eastern Standard Time

I can't believe a year

Went by so fast

Time to see

What we have time to see

Turn the projector on.

First shot, Roger

With the Fender guitar

He just got out of hock

When he sold the car

That took him away and back

I found my song

He found his song

If he could just find Mimi

I tried. You know I tried.

Fade in on Mark

Who's still in the dark

- But he's got great footage

- Which he's cut together

To screen tonight.

- In honor of Benny's wife

- Muffy

Allison

Pulling Benny

Out of the East Village location

Then again,

maybe we won't screen it tonight.

I wonder how Allison

found out about Mimi?

Maybe a little bird told her.

Or an angel.

I had a little hunch

That you could use a little flow

- Tutoring again?

- Negative

- Back at NYU?

- No, no, no

I rewired the ATM

At The Food Emporium

To provide an honorarium

To anyone with the code

The code

- Well?

- Well?

A- N-G-E-L.

Yet Robin Hooding

Isn't the solution

The powers that be

Must be undermined where they dwell

In a small, exclusive

Gourmet institution

Where we overcharge

The wealthy clientele

Let's open up a restaurant

In Santa Fe

With a private corner banquette

In the back

We'll make it yet

We'll somehow get to Santa Fe

But you'd miss New York

Before you could unpack

Mark! Roger! Anyone, help!

- Maureen?

- It's Mimi!

We can't get her up the stairs!

No!

She was huddled in the park

In the dark

And she was freezing

And begged to come here

- Over here? Oh, God.

- Yeah.

Got a light? I know you

You're shivering

- She's been living on the street

- We need some heat

- I'm shivering.

- Okay.

We can buy some wood

And something to eat

I'm afraid she needs more than heat

I heard that

Collins will call for a doctor, honey

Don't waste your money on me

Hello, 911? I'm on hold.

Cold, cold

Would you light my candle?

Yes- Oh, God

Find a candle

I should tell you

I should tell you

I should tell you

I should tell you

I should tell you

Benny wasn't anything-

I know

I should tell you why I left

- It wasn't 'cause I didn't-

- I know

- I should tell you

- I should tell you

I should tell you, I love you

Who do you think you are?

Leaving me alone with my guitar

Hold on, there's something

You should hear

It isn't much, but it took all year

Your eyes

As we said our goodbyes

Can't get them out of my mind

And I find

I can't hide

From your eyes

The ones that took me by surprise

The night you came into my life

Where there's moonlight

I see your eyes

How'd I let you slip away

When I'm longing so to hold you?

Now I'd die for one more day

'Cause there's something

I should have told you

Yes, there's something

I should have told you

When I looked into your eyes

Why does distance make us wise?

You were the song all along

And before this song dies

I should tell you

I should tell you

I have always loved you

You can see it in my eyes

Mimi

- I jumped over the moon.

- What?

A leap of:

She's back.

I was in a tunnel...

...headed for this warm, white light.

Oh, my God.

And I swear...

...Angel was there.

And she looked good.

And she said:

"Turn around, girlfriend...

...and listen to that boy's song. "

She's drenched.

Her fever's breaking

There is no future

There is no past

Thank God this moment's

Not the last

- There's only us

- There's only us

- There's only this

- There's only this

- Forget regret

- Forget regret

Or life is yours to miss

No other road

No other way

No day but today

- I can't control

- Will I lose my dignity?

- My destiny

- Will someone care?

- I trust my soul

- Will I wake tomorrow

My only goal

- Is just to be

- From this nightmare?

- Without you

- There's only now

- The hand gropes

- There's only here

- The ear hears

- Give in to love

- The pulse beats

- Or live in fear

- Life goes on

- No other path

- But I'm gone

- No other way

- 'Cause I die without you

- No day but today

- I die without you

- No day but today

- I die without you

- No day but today

- I die without you

- No day but today

- I die without you

- No day but today

- I die without you

- No day but today

No day but today

Five hundred twenty-five thousand

Six hundred minutes

Five hundred twenty-five thousand

Moments so dear

Five hundred twenty-five thousand

Six hundred minutes

How do you measure

Measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets

In midnights, in cups of coffee

In inches, in miles

In laughter, in strife

In 525,600 minutes

How do you measure

A year in the life?

How about love?

How about love?

How about love?

Measure in love

Seasons of love

Seasons of love

Five hundred twenty-five thousand

Six hundred minutes

Five hundred twenty-five thousand

Journeys to plan

Five hundred twenty-five thousand

Six hundred minutes

How do you measure

The life of a woman or a man?

In truths that she learned?

Or in times that he cried?

In bridges he burned?

- Or the way that she died?

- It's time now to sing out

Though the story never ends

Let's celebrate

Remember a year in the life of friends

Remember the love

Oh, you got to

You got to remember the love

You know that love is a gift

From up above

Give love, give love, spread love

Measure, measure your life in love

Seasons of love
