Throughout his career, he composed music for artists such as Paul Anka, Mina, Milva, Zucchero and Andrea Bocelli. From 1960 to 1975, Morricone gained international fame for composing music for westerns. His score to 1966's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is considered one of the most influential soundtracks in history and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. With an estimated 10 million copies sold, Once Upon a Time in the West is one of the best-selling scores worldwide.

In 1969, he co-founded Forum Music Village, a prestigious recording studio. From the 1970s, Morricone excelled in Hollywood, composing for prolific American directors such as Don Siegel, Mike Nichols, Brian De Palma, Barry Levinson, Oliver Stone, Warren Beatty and Quentin Tarantino. In 1977, he composed the official theme for the 1978 FIFA World Cup. He continued to compose music for European productions, such as Marco Polo, La Piovra, Nostromo, Fateless, Karol and En mai, fais ce qu'il te plait.

Ennio Morricone Lyrics
Se tu fossi nei miei occhi per un giorno
Vedresti la bellezza che, piena di allegria
Io trovo dentro gli occhi tuoi
Non so se sia magia o realtà
Se tu fossi nel mio cuore per un giorno
Potresti avere un'idea di ciò che sento io
Quando mi abbracci forte a te
E petto a petto noi
Respiriamo insieme
Protagonista del tuo amor
Non so se sia magia o realtà
Se tu fossi nella mia anima un giorno
Sapresti cosa sento in me
Che m'innamorai
Da quell'istante insieme a te
E ciò che provo è
Solamente amore
Da quell'istante insieme a te
E ciò che provo è
Solamente amore
Vedresti la bellezza che, piena di allegria
Io trovo dentro gli occhi tuoi
Non so se sia magia o realtà
Se tu fossi nel mio cuore per un giorno
Potresti avere un'idea di ciò che sento io
Quando mi abbracci forte a te
E petto a petto noi
Respiriamo insieme
Protagonista del tuo amor
Non so se sia magia o realtà
Se tu fossi nella mia anima un giorno
Sapresti cosa sento in me
Che m'innamorai
Da quell'istante insieme a te
E ciò che provo è
Solamente amore
Da quell'istante insieme a te
E ciò che provo è
Solamente amore
