The song "The Song of Hope" from the lord of the rings musical, recorded by the original London cast.
_________________________
Strider-
At the edge of darkness
Hope is whispering still
Tender, unerring
Gently stirring
Memories unfurling in the mind.
Warm winds from a far forgotten country
Lond left behind.
Distant and divided,
Worlds and miles apart.
Dreams of days together
Broken in my heart.
Lives we saw before us fade away.
Sweet words we will never whisper, words we
Long to say.
Arwen-
Soft now, my love, and rest your hand in mine.
Feel, my love, I am near.
Always, my love, forever by your side.
Love immortal, love undying...
Wandering the empty road,
in twilight's silver shade,
Following the hidden paths
Alone and unafraid.
Both-
Let the sunlight free the heart
Forever bound to roam,
Arwen-
And let the waking morning find
The weary traveller returning home.
Strider-
At last returning home.
Arwen-
Soft, now my love,
enfold your heart in mine
Feel, my love, I am near.
Always my love,
our hearts will be entwined.
Hold my love, I am here.
Strider-
I am yours,
Let your heart rescue mine.
Feel, my love, I am here.
Evermore
Will our lives be in entwined.
So take my hand and live
or die. Let...
Both-
Fate eternal lead us home
Love undying
Arwen-
Lead us home.
Strider-
A waking dawn will find us
and at last return us home
Return
Return
Both-
Return
Return
Arwen-
Return
Return my love
Both-
Return

Whenever I hear this I think of a husband and wife I assisted before I retired from hospice. He was dying from cancer and she was truly an immortal being, an angel, to him and the entire residential staff. They were every bit as inspirational and heroic as Aragorn and Arwen. Their love was fully transcendent beyond the here and now. We, the staff, felt connected to something eternal that lasted beyond death and bigger than any of us. If nothing else it left an indelible sense of awe.

Aragorn:
If this day be my last, tell Arwen Evenstar she ever ruled my heart... and ever will.

i just had a vision of the strider in the movie singing this and it seems so unlike him that i just had to laugh :) awsome song btw.

Did you know that in the books legolas actually did sing?

[@JehRehMyUh]

Peach C the books, hobbit especially, are very musical. Like tom bombidil, if that isnt a musical theatre character i dont know what is.

Ive always felt he was almost too soft in his acting and singing.
