I hear they are calling
The young loves and the true loves
That come from the sea
And so my beloved
When red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring outYes, ring out for you and me

The young loves and the true loves
That come from the sea
And so my beloved
When the red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring out
Ring out for you and me

Lufthansa should've been our ultimate score. The heist of a lifetime. Six million in cash, more than enough to go around.

Scorsese was a fucking wizard with the musical selection for Goodfellas, it fit so perfectly without sounding cliche, overused or obscurely placed. This is just one of many songs that add to great scenes from the film, like the organ portion that plays over the slow motion take of Tommy shooting Stacks.
Just brilliant.

Stacks was always late, even late to his own funeral.
