Since today is John Glen’s birthday, it only seems appropriate that today’s song of the day should be one of my favorite James Bond themes. From the underrated Octopussy, here’s one of the few songs that I can sing (though I don’t sound anywhere near as good as Rita Coolidge), All Time High!
All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or twoHad no intention to do the things we’ve doneFunny how it always goes with love, when you don’t look, you findBut then we’re two of a kind, we move as one
We’re an all-time highWe’ll change all that’s gone beforeDoing so much more than falling in loveOn an all-time highWe’ll take on the world and winSo hold on tight, let the flight begin
I don’t want to waste a waking moment, I don’t want to sleepI’m in so strong and so deep, and so are youIn my time, I’ve said these words before, but now I realizeMy heart was telling me lies, for you, they’re true
We’re an all-time highWe’ll change all that’s gone beforeDoing so much more than falling in loveOn an all-time highWe’ll take on the world and winSo hold on tight, let the flight begin
So hold on tight, let the flight beginWe’re an all-time high
(Songwriters: Tim Rice and John Barry)
