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 five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes,
How do you measure a year in the life?

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.

In diapers, report cards, in spoke wheels, in speeding tickets.
In contracts, dollars, in funerals, in births.
In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes,
how do you figure a last year on earth?

How about love?

Measure in love.
