This is a very special video made to a great song. The love story of Sheridan and Delenn is one of my favorite stories ever and video does great justice to it.

A couple points of explanation for those that don’t know the series, but just a couple for I have to keep wiping tears off my cheeks watching this…

There is a great quote and beautiful sentiment which happens at the 1:47 mark in the video. It was not put in the video, but I will put it here for you:

John Sheridan Goodnight, my love… the brightest star in my sky.
Delenn Goodnight, you, who were my sky, and my sun, and my moon.

In the beginning of the episode, Sheridan goes out on the balcony to sit and watch the sun come up. Soon Delenn joins him and he remarks that he had never done that in all time he was on Minbar. He wanted to remember this sunrise.

Afterwards, when Sheridan has left and moved on beyond the Rim, Delenn spends each morning sitting on that bench to watch the sun come up.

As for Delenn, every morning for as long she lived, Delenn got up before dawn and watched the sun come up.

The final episode of Babylon 5, Sleeping in Light, is one of the best pieces of television ever made. I am proud to have an original script from that show in my collection. I cherish it to this day for this show says so much about the good of which mankind is capable and John Sheridan and Delenn, while fictional, are two people whom I consider to be heros and role models.

The song, “A Love That Will Never Grow Old” is sung by Emmylou Harris and was written by Bernie Taupin. It won multiple best song awards including a Golden Globe and can be enjoyed in the movie ” Brokeback Mountain.”

Go to sleep, may your sweet dreams come true
Just lay back in my arms for one more night
I’ve this crazy old notion that calls me sometimes
Saying this one’s the love of our lives.

When you wake up the world may have changed
But trust in me, I’ll never falter or fail
Just the smile in your eyes, it can light up the night,
And your laughter’s like wind in my sails.

Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time,
Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rutted old road
In a world that may say that we’re wrong.

Cause I know a love that will never grow old
And I know a love that will never grow old.

Enjoy and for those of you who watched this series, I hope this brings back some good memories.

There are so many good quotes G’Kar gives in Babylon 5, I can not pick what to put here. Andreas left us way too soon. He was one of my favorite actors. This is a great tribute video.

I think I will post my favorite quote from him here, it is not in this video, but it is my favorite.

G’kar “Good bye Delenn.”
Delenn “G’kar, I have I ever told you that you are one of the finest writers
that I have every met?
And that it has been an honor to work beside you on the Alliance.”

G’kar “Not in words,
but the thing about losing one eye
is that makes you look deeply into the eyes of another.
I found in yours all the thanks,
I will ever require in this life or in any other.”
