Lyrics
And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70

And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23

And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

Maybe just the touch of a hand

Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day

And I just wanna tell you I am



So honey now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

I'm thinking out loud

That maybe we found love right where we are



When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades

And the crowds don't remember my name

When my hands don't play the strings the same way

I know you will still love me the same



'Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen

And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory

I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

Maybe it's all part of a plan

Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes

Hoping that you'll understand



But, baby, now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

Thinking out loud

That maybe we found love right where we are



So, baby, now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart

I'm thinking out loud

That maybe we found love right where we are

Oh, baby, we found love right where we are

And we found love right where we are

Aww, man, the QAFUK couple of my heart. Such a lovely vid. Thank you! ♥

[isagel]

AWWWWWWWWW! That was so sweet and lovely! Oh, Stuart and Vince! <3 Beautiful.

[bingeling]

GOSH! Thank you so much, I made so many squeaky noises watching this! I'm not at home this weekend, but when I'm back I'll give you a proper comment after watching this ten more times! <3

[bingeling]

I have returned! Mostly with exclamation marks, but I will try to word some words. Here, take these: !!!!!!!!!!

Let's start with your song choice because those lyrics are so Stuart/Vince, it's hurting me! ;______; It's really really perfect.

I'm basically yelling I FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY! and I KNOW YOU WILL STILL LOVE ME THE SAME over here. And I super extra lost it over the "'Cause honey your soul could never grow old" line! ;______________;

You did such a great job showing how they interact with each other. As friends who know one another so intimately, their interaction so effortlessly and second nature. Their love and care for another so plain to see.

And then there are these heated moments, the "there you are" moments. I love love love that you managed to show them from Stuart's POV. While Vince's crush is visible from space, Stuart's feelings for Vince are more subtle and I'm positively giddy how beautifully you showed them.

In conclusion: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU DEAREST FESTIVIDDER! This vid is wonderful and heartfelt and I'm bubbling over with joy and love for Stuart and Vince and I couldn't have asked for a better QAFUK vid!

MAYBE WE FOUND LOVE RIGHT WHERE WE ARE!

And also: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sakana17]

I really like how this captures the romance of their friendship. Lovely vid!

[wolfling]

I watched this whole thing with a silly grin on my face. Such a beautiful Stuart/Vince vid! <3

[happydork]

This took me right back sixteen years to all the thrills and heartache of watching the show as it aired -- Vince! Stuart! The multitude of ways they look at each other when they think the other one can't see! All the almost moments, all the not quites, all the heat and the longing!

[sasha_feather]

This is so warm and adorable. <3

[violetemerald]

This is a really beautiful vid! I've never seen the show, although I have seen the US Version of Queer as Folk and took part in a large meta discussion where some comparing and contrasting of Stuart and Vince to Brian and Michael's characters and story were discussed... but I wasn't actually very curious to check out the original UK version of the show until right now, watching this gorgeous fanvid you made. It's a very wonderful use of the song, beautifully edited, and you really captured so much. Great job.

[tallyyho]

Thank you so much for making this - I LOVED it, it was beautiful. I love Stuart and Vince SOOOO much. xxx

[purplefringe]

Oh, this is sweet and heartfelt and lovely <3

[elipie]

Bawwwww this is so sweet! I just clutched my heart. <3

[leanwellback]

MY HEARRRRRT. I love this so much! It's just so understated and beautiful, which is perfect for them and now I need to watch it a hundred more times ♥____♥
