The song that defines me changes all the time. Currently, it's this one. Not sure what the true meaning is, but I feel like it personifies my attempts to find myself, looking everywhere but the right place.

I had to whittle this down from quite a large pool (like most people, I expect). But I checked my iTunes to see which song had been played most often — it seemed to make sense that the one with which I felt most "in tune" (pun sadly intended) would be one I'd play a little more than the others. Well this one came out as the clear leader, with a playcount of nearly a thousand.
This is a song my boyfriend's mother asked me to sing, and I'll always be grateful to her for giving it to me. I'd never really heard of the artists before and to this day I don't know many of their other songs (they're really not my style lol), but this one never fails to get right on in there lol. There have been nights I've fallen asleep listening to this one song on repeat. Anyway, it's "After All These Years" by Foster and Allen.
My darling come to me.
Sit you down easily.
And rest a while near the soft firelight —
cold as the night.
But warm is my heart with pride,
Having you by my side;
You're still my guiding light
After all these years.
Your soft assuring ways,
The rock I lean on,
Saw me through my darkest days
When all hope had gone.
You're still the only one
I'll ever hold near.
And I love you,
After all these years.
Time from me passes,
And and I'm growing old —
A lifetime nearly gone, I cannot unfold
Nights dark and cold.
But warm is your hand in mine,
Feeble with ageless time,
The light of love still shines
After all these years.
Your soft assuring ways,
The rock I lean on,
Saw me through my darkest days
When all hope had gone.
You're still the only one
I'll ever hold near.
And I love you,
After all these years.
I still love you,
After all these years.
