Sleeping at Last: Turning Page Meaning

Turning Page Lyrics

"Turning Page"

I’ve waited a hundred years
But I’d wait a million more for you
Nothing prepared me for
What the privilege of being yours would do

If I had only felt the warmth within your touch
If I had only seen how you smile when you...

   This song is clearly tailored to the story except for the last part. Well as everyone knows he's existed for about a century but in all this time he never experimented the emotions of love. The second verse touches on all her facial quirks that he enjoys and the forgotten humanity behind them. Obviously she has given him a meaningful purpose and it is put beautifully in the 3rd verse where he describes her love as the turning page for him (or his fork in the road that leads him on a different path.) She made him realize what he had been missing all along, love. Love making all worthwile and how even the smallest of physical encounters magnifies his tenderness and feeling to her. It continues to explain how he surrenders his former desires even because her love and trust inspire him to be better. Her fragile emotions hang on his every word making him invicible in her eyes thus reassuring him and making him strong and secure. Now the last part is to me the most interesting. I think it is a personal dedication to the real life relationship that Kristen and Robert share. Clearly it states how they are obligated to play these characters and how they tell the story so well through their outsanding acting ability and influence of their own personal relationship. The song suggests how even the more grosteque scenes seem more tolerable because of their chemistry. Finally as the very last words state say they have conquered an international platform with this great off and on screen romance.?!
