A few days ago, I bought The Mask of Zorro VCD, partly to see Anthony Hopkins behind the fox's mask (yes, 'zorro' is fox in Spanish), partly because the theme song came to my mind also a few days ago, and partly spurred by the recent release of the sequel, The Legend of Zorro.
Great movie; just as I remember watching it in Leisure Mall back in 1998. It was, in fact, the movie which proved to me that time can stand still in a cinema hall:
Back then, I would normally 'knock-out' automatically at 10-something; this movie lasted until midnight or so, and I hardly felt drowsy.
(However, time does not freeze in a concert hall, and I frequently find myself balancing precariously on the border of dreamland if I miss my pre-concert afternoon nap).
The theme song was written by James Horner and Will Jennings, and performed by by Marc Anthony and Tina Arena. It has one of the most beautiful bridge sequences I've ever heard in a song.
I Want to Spend My Lifetime Loving You
Moon so bright, night so fine,
Keep your heart here with mine
Life's a dream we are dreaming
Race the moon, catch the wind,
Ride the night to the end,
Seize the day, stand up for the light
Chorus:
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
Heroes rise, heroes fall,
Rise again, win it all,
In your heart, can't you feel the glory?
Through our joy, through our pain,
We can move worlds again
Take my hand, dance the dance with me
Chorus:
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I can spend my lifetime loving you
Bridge:
Though we know we will never come again
Where there is love, life begins
Over and over again
Save the night, save the day,
Save the love, come what may,
Love is worth everything we pay
