Musical Review: Tangled Soundtrack

This is the music from the Disney Musical Tangled.  The music was written by Alan Menken with lyrics by Glen Slater.  The story is based on the tale of Rapunzel by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.  I must admit, the song "I see the Light" I play over and over.  I find this song as enjoyable as the songs from "Frozen." 
All those days, watching from the windows
All those years, outside looking in
All that time, never even knowing
Just how blind I've been

Now I'm here, blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here, suddenly I see
Standing here, it's, oh, so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be

And at last, I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last, I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted

All at once, everything looks different
Now that I see you

All those days, chasing down a daydream
All those years, living in a blur
All that time, never truly seeing
Things the way they were

Now she's here, shining in the starlight
Now she's here, suddenly I know
If she's here, it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go

And at last, I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last, I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted

All at once, everything is different
Now that I see you

Now that I see you
This is the song that the main characters, Rapunzel (Mandy Moore) and Flynn Rider (Zachary Levi), sing while the are floating on the lake watching the floating lanterns.  I really don't care for the music of the old witch, (Donna Murphy) but Moore sings a couple other nice songs,

"When WIll My Life Begin" with a couple reprises and "The Tear Heals" which is very emotional.
