This song is great; one of my favorites, both in the musical and in the non-Rent world. I am a huge--and I mean HUGE--Rent freak! It's a very simple song, but it has a very profound meaning. The meaning isn't buried so that you have to search for it, but that doesn't mean it sucks.
It's about forgetting time. Screw time. It doesn't matter. You don't need to count down the days and mark of the weeks or months. Measure the productivity, the success, the importance, the worth of the year by the love between friends who become your family. The daylights, the sunsets, the midnights and the cups of coffee are all things that can be shared and that is what you measure the passage of time with, not a clock or calendar.
Yes, it's a sentimental song, but what's the matter with that?
