One Second and a Million Miles
[ROBERT]
For the first time in my life
I am not outside the moment
With a camera in between me and the world
I think I know
For the first time in my life
I am somehow part of something
You surround me, you connect me
And I think I can't let go

For the first time in my life
You have opened up a channel
There is nothing to contain us
We are joined, and we are free
For the first time in my life
I am risking something precious
I am asking you, Francesca:
Come with me

I can't tell you I know what the future will be
Who knows anything?
I just look at those eyes; you've got so much to see
Let me show you. There's
Crowds and camels and hillsides to climb
All I know is, in all of the time
From man's first breath
To God's last warning
You and I are just one second
Spinning by in one split-second
You and I have just one second
And a million miles to go
I don't need to be rich, I don't need something new

[FRANCESCA]
I don't want to go back to a world without this

[ROBERT]
All I need, all I've needed my whole life was you

[FRANCESCA]
If I left this behind…

[ROBERT]
Please just look at me:
You were born with a wanderer's soul
This is how you begin to be whole
The stars keep burning
Worlds keep turning

[ROBERT and FRANCESCA]
And you and I are just one second
Spinning by in just one second
You and I have just one second

[ROBERT]
And a million miles to go
[FRANCESCA]
Found and lost
Torn in half
Before and after you

[ROBERT]
Come with me

[FRANCESCA]
Open heart
Open door
Before and after you

[ROBERT]
Come with me

[FRANCESCA]
How do I go?
Tell me
How do I go?
How do I go with you?
How do I pack a bag
Close a door
Turn a key
Walk away?
Look at where I am
And who I am
And tell me
Is there something I don't know?
How do I go?
How can I go
With you?
[ROBERT]
I can't tell you I know what the answer will be
It's impossible
But this thing, this is bigger than what we can see
This is destiny
We are tied, we are locked, we are bound;
This will not be reversed or unwound
Whatever fate the stars are weaving
We're not breaking
I'm not leaving
And you and I are just one second
Spinning by in just one second
You and I have just one second…

[FRANCESCA]
And a million miles to go

[ROBERT]
All my life I have been falling…

[FRANCESCA]
All my life I have been falling…

[ROBERT]
All my life I have been falling into…

[FRANCESCA]
All my life I have been falling…

[ROBERT]
You and I

[ROBERT & FRANCESCA]
Have just one second

[ROBERT]
And a million miles to go

[FRANCESCA]
Come with me
