WHAT I DID FOR LOVE

Video: What I Did For Love
Lyrics by Edward Kleban, Music by Marvin Hamlisch

Dear God of All Art and All Creation,

I am touched by the Broadway musical
A Chorus Line, which presents the lives
of young Broadway dancers, who realize that their careers will be very limited, since they will probably not be cast in choruses once they approach thirty years of age.

Those brief careers, and the dedication they bring to them, seem to me to reflect
in a sense all of our lives and endeavors
on earth.

The lyrics to one of the show's moving numbers, could apply with very little change, to my life:

Kiss today goodbye,
The sweetness and the sorrow.
Wish me luck, the same to you.
But I can't regret what I did for love,
what I did for love.

Look my eyes are dry.
The gift was ours to borrow.
It's as if we always knew,
And I won't forget what I did for love,
What I did for love.

Gone, Love is never gone.
As we travel on
Love's what we'll remember.

Kiss today goodbye,
And point me toward tomorrow.
We did what we had to do.
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for love

What I did for love,
What I did for love
Love is never gone, as we travel on
Love's what we'll remember.

Kiss today goodbye,
And point me toward tomorrow.
We did what we had to do.
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for love.
What I did for love.
What I did for love.
