Absolutely, without a doubt, my favorite time of year = March Madness. It happened in high school when AME and I discovered One Shining Moment. Many, many years later we still call each other just to sing it, we call our friends and family when we’re together and sing it to them, we’ve tried to introduce the song to everyone we know. It’s quite hysterical. There’s not a single time we get together that we don’t at least talk about One Shining Moment. And so, I must share with you, what March Madness is really all about.

The Lyrics:

The ball is tipped
and there you are
you’re running for your life
you’re a shooting star
And all the years
no one knows
just how hard you worked
but now it shows…
(in) ONE SHINING MOMENT, IT’S ALL ON THE LINE
ONE SHINING MOMENT, THERE FROZEN IN TIME

But time is short
and the road is long
in the blinking of an eye
ah that moment’s gone
And when it’s done
win or lose
you always did your best
cuz inside you knew…
(that) ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU REACHED DEEP INSIDE
ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU KNEW YOU WERE ALIVE

Feel the beat of your heart
feel the wind in your face
it’s more than a contest
it’s more than a race…

And when it’s done
win or lose
you always did your best
cuz inside you knew…
(that) ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU REACHED FOR THE SKY
ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU KNEW
ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU WERE WILLING TO TRY
ONE SHINING MOMENT….

Today is the big day, friends. Don’t turn off your TVs after the Final Game. Stay tuned, watch and sing along. I’m pretty sure you’ll spread JOY throughout the world…or at least in your living room.
