Once Upon a Time In the West
E. Morricone Lyrics


Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke and you were there
Beside me in the night
You touched me and calmed my fear
Turned darkness into light
I woke and saw you there
Beside me as before
My heart leapt to find you near
To feel you close once more
To feel your love once more

Your strength has made me strong
Though life tore us apart

And now when the night seems long
Your love shines in my heart
Your love shines in my heart
Line by Line Meaning

I woke and you were there
I experienced a moment of realization and you were present


Beside me in the night
Right by my side during the darkness


You touched me and calmed my fear
Your touch brought peace and erased my anxieties


Turned darkness into light
You transformed the gloom into brightness


I woke and saw you there
Once again, I woke up and you were present


Beside me as before
Just like in the past, you were by my side


My heart leapt to find you near
My heart filled with joy to have you close again


To feel you close once more
To experience your presence and closeness again


To feel your love once more
To feel the affection and love you give, once again


Your strength has made me strong
Your resilience and spirit have empowered me


Though life tore us apart
Despite the challenges that separated us


And now when the night seems long
At present, when the darkness feels never-ending


Your love shines in my heart
Your love radiates within the depths of my being


Your love shines in my heart
Your love continues to illuminate and inspire me

Fantastic movie
Great music by Il Maestro
Ennio Morricone (RIP)
Especially this song brings
tears in my eyes
It reminds me of the Bruce Springsteen
show in Rome 2016
This song was played when The Boss
and his band entered the stage
I will never forget this

Dark will be the day when Ennio Morricone will die...
With him, all the magic of orchestral music of west.

@alek286

Accelluter I hope that day will never come

@djrbfmbfm-woa

Ale Ros it will come, and will be a sad day for all. j..

@LowPlainsDrifter60

+Accelluter Well he ain't dead yet. Watch out for Tarantino's latest movie, 'The Hateful Eight' 'cause the great man himself has agreed to compose the soundtrack.........now that's something to celebrate.
When Ennio does cast his mortal coil, don't be sad, he had a great life & his music & influence on movie soundtracks will last until we have succeeded in annihilating each other.

@rubenrodrigues9852

Don't say that... he must be immortal

@djrbfmbfm-woa

unfortunately, not so. j.

Ennio Morricone was truly one of the greatest film composers of all time, and this theme is his magnum opus.

@FrancoisDressler

Was?
