This song is from the soundtrack of the movie The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
I love Christina’s voice in this song. Her voice has got a special quality that makes any song turn magical. The composition of this song is also beautiful, as well as emotional. The solo piano in the background, the strings and the orchestra coming up later in the song, I love the arrangement. Overall, this is a great song.

Colors and promises

What's standing in front of me

One step closer
