Josephine Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Can anyone please tell me what the "movie song" is, referred to in Dire Straits' Romeo and Juliet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 I think that's A Time For Us from Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 film starring Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting. A time for us, some day there'll be When chains are torn by courage born of a love that's free A time when dreams so long denied can flourish As we unveil the love we now must hide A time for us, at last to see A life worthwhile for you and me And with our love, through tears and thorns We will endure as we pass surely through every storm A time for us, some day there'll be a new world A world of shining hope for you and me For you and me And with our love, through tears and thorns We will endure as we pass surely through every storm A time for us, some day there'll be a new world A world of shining hope for you and me A world of shining hope for you and me ~ Words by Larry Kusik and Eddie Snyder.

DJ Kat WQAQ98.1 Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 I think that's A Time For Us from Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 film starring Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting. I agree with this interpretation of it. There was another version of the movie in 1954, but the soundtrack from it was very weak and I don't think had a song that stood out. The 1968 version with Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey was more well known, and the song "A Time for Us" was a very recognized song in the day.

bazooka Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 There is also the remarkably similar Somewhere from the musical West Side Story (1957/ film 1961). There's a place for us, Somewhere a place for us. Peace and quiet and open air Wait for us Somewhere. There's a time for us, Some day a time for us, Time together with time spare, Time to learn, time to care, Some day! Somewhere. We'll find a new way of living, We'll find a way of forgiving Somewhere . . . There's a place for us, A time and place for us. Hold my hand and we're halfway there. Hold my hand and I'll take you there Somehow, Some day, Somewhere! ~Music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
