You Only Live Twice or so it seems,
One life for yourself and one for your dreams.
You drift through the years and life seems tame,
Till one dream appears and love is its name.
And love is a stranger who’ll beckon you on,
Don’t think of the danger or the stranger is gone.
This dream is for you, so pay the price.
Make one dream come true, you only live twice.
And love is a stranger who’ll beckon you on,
Don’t think of the danger or the stranger is gone.
This dream is for you, so pay the price.
Make one dream come true, you only live twice.
(from James Bond 007 — You Only Live Twice, 1967)
Nancy's voice was great in her version, it's one of my favorite Bond songs. This one isn't bad, but Bassey has always been a bit loud for me.And the music with this is awful.
Dame Shirley, you still have the pipes, but bossa nova is just obscene for this once hauntingly beautiful song. Nancy's version wins on this, hands down.
this is the only Shirley Bassey album I was disapointed with,1987. no wonder she took action in the courts. what was her management thinking of. ?? A James Bond album should have had a huge orchestral backing and where was `The Man with the Golden Gun`. Th eworst track was ` We have all the time in the world ` the original by Loius Armstrong is superb
