Sarah Brightman - Carpe Diem
duet with Mario Frangoulis

Seize the day
Seize the day
Blazing across the endless wasted land
Shedding light of eternity

Come embrace the day
We will never pass
This way again
Never see this morning
Never again this dawning of the sun

Come embrace the day
We will never pass
This way again
Never see this dawn
Never again this dawning of the sun

Feeble though we are
Fleeting breath of life
Touch immortality
Tempus fugit

Carpe Diem
Carpe Diem
This moment in its glory
And its pain
Is a heartbeat caught in time

Music & lyrics: Freddy Scholl / Florian Sitzmann / Cae Gauntt

From: A Winter Symphony (2008).
