Memories, Light the corners of my mind Misty water-colored memories Of the way we were
Scattered pictures, Of the smiles we left behind Smiles we gave to one another For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then? Or has time re-written every line? If we had the chance to do it all again Tell me, would we? Could we?
Memories, May be beautiful and yet What's too painful to remember We simply choose to forget So it's the laughter We will remember Whenever we remember... The way we were... The way we were...
ゴールディ・ホーン主演のサスペンス風コメディ。 冒頭で流れるバリー・マニロウの「 Ready to take a chance again」は、海岸線をゴールディが運転する黄色いワーゲンを空撮しているシーンで印象的に使われています。
「 Ready to take a chance again/バリー・マニロウ」
You remind me I live in a shell Safe from the past and doin' OK But not very well No jolts, no surprises No crisis arrises My life goes along as it should It's all very nice, but not very good
And I'm ready to take a chance again Ready to put my love on the line with you Been living with nothing to show for it You get what you can when you go for it And I'm ready to take a chance again with you
When she left me in all my despair I just held on, my hopes were all gone Then I found you there
And I'm ready to take a chance again Ready to put my love on the line with you Been living with nothing to show for it You get what you can when you got for it And I'm ready to take a chance again with you And I'm ready to take a chance again Ready to put my love on the line with you Been living with nothing to show for it You get what you can when you got for it And I'm ready to take a chance again with you
Ready to take a chance again with you With you
『ロミオとジュリエット』(イギリス/イタリア/1968年) フランコ・ゼフィレッリ監督版の本作で使われた「what is a youth?」は、ニーノ・ロータ作曲の印象的な歌で、二人が出会うシーンを盛上げます。
What is a youth? Impetuous fire. What is a maid? Ice and desire.
The world wags on, a rose will bloom....
It then will fade: so does a youth, so does the fairest maid.
Comes a time when one sweet smile has a season for a while.... Then love's in love with me. Some they think only to marry, others will tease and tarry. Mine is the very best parry. Cupid he rules us all.
Caper the cape, but sing me the song, Death will come soon to hush us along. Sweeter than honey... and bitter as gall, Love is a task and it never will pall. Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall. Cupid rules us all.
