So lovely!

Absolutely beautiful. Found the lyrics and read along with the music. Was reduced to blubbering mess to be honest.

So that more people can be reduced to blubbering messes (see below), here are the lyrics:
About a thousand years ago, when I was very young,
My hair burned like the sea beneath an ever-rising sun;
My blood ran thick with promise, I was tender to the bone;
But now I’m Evangeline, made of stone.
This is your one and only life. What will you do?
Now the meteors of August, they fly all through my hair.
The day will come when I will rise to find my eye less fair;
And this body scorched by beauty, and these hands I left unplayed --
What was I waiting for, afraid?
This is your one and only life. What will you do?
You can dream, you can imagine, you can simply hope and pray,
You can save yourself for glory, you can wait til judgement day,
You can hold out til you stand a breath away from heaven’s gate;
Your day of redemption will come -- too late.
This is your one and only life. What will you do?
This is your wild -- your precious -- your one and only life.
What will you do?
