March
Boston Pops Orchestra John Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Midnight cowboy, midnight cowboy
See the lonesome midnight cowboy)
Once his hopes were high as the sky
Once a dream was easy to buy
Too soon, his eager fingers were burned
Soon life's lonely lessons are learned
Hearts are made for caring
Life is made for sharing
Love is all that's left in the end

(Midnight cowboy, midnight cowboy
See the lonesome midnight cowboy)
Once his hopes were high as the sky
Once a dream was easy to buy
Too soon, his eager fingers were burned
Soon life's lonely lessons are learned
Hearts are made for caring
Life is made for sharing
Love is all that's left in the end
Love can turn the tide for a friend
Love can hold a dream together
Love is all that lasts forever
Love is all that's left in the end
Love can turn the tide for a friend
Love can hold a dream together
Love is all that lasts forever




Love can hold a dream together
Love is all that lasts forever

John Williams doesn't merely create music, he distills nostalgia into a form that decorates time itself.

@davidjensen4702

For me, his music IS each movie, the dialogues are an addition whether it's StarWars, E.T., Superman, Raiders saga, or even Schinder's List, he grabs deep inside all of us from 1 to100 yrs old, AND draws out adventure, or emotion of the moment.

@jkapp374

all these years still get goosebumps with that ending, ...thanks John Williams for providing such great music for our childhoods, and beyond..

@redfullpack

Even if Harrison Ford passes to a younger successor in the future, this theme is SIGNATURE music heralding Indiana Jones

@redfullpack

Star Wars, ET , Jurassic Park and the late Chris Reeve's Superman too

@almighty5839

@mattrismatt

The last five notes even say "In-di-a-na Jones" !
