Mantovani His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
(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

Good music is heavenly.
Calming
Inspiring
Resting
Our world does not need the tone of today.
It inspires us to rush without inspiring thought of why rush.
Constantly in competition
Rather than harmony.
We may desire community
We as a society keep fighting,
Competing.
Faster! Faster!

Exacto amigo, esa música la escuchaba en un radio viejito que tenían mis padres, recuerdo que era de bulbos y que como no tenía botón de encendido sólo estaba la barilla en donde lo llevaba entonces me subía de panza a mi cama para prenderlo (tenía el radio en el suelo a un costado de mi cama) y desde ahí lo encendía para que no me diera toques... 😌

When I was a senior in high school (1959) my girlfriend asked me if I had ever heard of Mantovani and I had listened to him many times at my aunt's house. When I mentioned this to my aunt she gave me several 78 records of Mantovani. My girl and I would take a break from Elvis, The Platters, Chuck Berry, and such. Great music to listen to with someone you are in love with. After four years we called it quits and now my wife of 58 years and I listen to Alexa playing Mantovani for us every night. I often think about what may have been, but I came out way ahead.

En el año 1963, llegó a mi casa el primer disco L.P en sonido estereofónico. El : Mantovani Film Encores.
A partir de ese momento nunca he dejado de oírlo. Con los años, fui comprando todos sus discos. ¿ Porqué ? Porque Mantovani y su orquesta te llenan el alma y el espíritu, co por lo general lo hace la música de los GRANDES GENIOS que la han compuesto y producido.
Tengo 76 años y sigo oyéndolo y lo haré hasta el final de mi existencia.

I agree with Fernando Jimenez.
