Until

If I caught the world in a bottle
And everything was still beneath the moon
Without your love would it shine for me?
If I was smart as Aristotle
And understood the rings around the moon
What would it all matter if you loved me?

Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfill
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends
Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing would I fear
Except when this moment comes near the dancing's end

If I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon so we could ride
Until the stars grew dim, Until...

One day you’ll meet a stranger
And all the noise is silenced in the room
You’ll feel that you're close to some mystery
In the moonlight and everything shatters
You feel as if you’ve known her all your life
The world’s oldest lesson in history

Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfill
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends
Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing do I fear
Except when this moment comes near the dancing’s end

Oh, if I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon and we would ride
Until the stars grew dim
Until the time that time stands still, Until...

This song by Sting.. brings out the yearnings long subdued.. pushed down the deepest darkest corners of my heart…It never fails to move me..

For those who are not familiar with this song… it is from Kate & Leopold, OST sung by Sting. This song won the golden globe award for best song in 2001. Kate & Leopold is in the genre of magical realism, in which, Leopold from 19th Century accidentally lands up in 21st Century New York where he meets ambitious Kate. Kate is a successful career woman who believes in “practicality” but is swept off her feet by charming and chivalrous 19th century Duke. Kate goes back in time to be with Leopold and chooses him over her career and her present day life.

Why I wrote all this because this flick got me thinking. Not just about Hugh Jackman, but other stuff like Time traveling, kismetic inevitability, chivalry and sensitivity, chasing dreams and most importantly of eternal love.

That’s precisely I think to myself, whenever I hear this song..that is any of the above mentioned stuff is a possibility?

I shall think, research and present my take on all of the five stated believes, one by one.
