Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two
Had no intention to do the things we've done
Funny how it always goes with love
When you don't look, you find
But then we're two of a kind, we move as one
[Chorus]
We're an all time high
We'll change all that's gone before
Doing so much more than falling in love
On an all time high
We'll take on the world and win
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
[Verse 2]
I don't want to waste a waking moment
I don't want to sleep
I'm in so strong and so deep, and so are you
In my time
I've said these words before
But now I realise
My heart was telling me lies
For you they're true
[Chorus]
We're an all time high
We'll change all that's gone before
Doing so much more than falling in love
On an all time high
We'll take on the world and win
So hold on tight
Let the flight begin
[Outro]
So hold on tight
Let the flight begin
We're an all time high

So hold on tight, let the flight begin
We're an all time high

One of the most underrated bond movies ever made
Absolute quality with a great soundtrack

Best theme music
@chrispetersen113
I've always been a fan of this one, and have quit going to the theater since they got rid of Timothy Dalton.

This was a terrible bond movie. This, moonraker, a view to a kill, and die another day we’re all bad
@mariomejia3024
Sir Roger Moore was definitely the best James Bond, adding his personal style and charisma, Rita Coolidge complemented it with this wonderful song, timeless masterpiece, Roger Moore at his finest
@johnisingh8399
I love theme music special in India scenes!

Sean Connery Was the Best.....
@Asim71
Roger Moore- was older than Connery but he looked younger and a very handsome actor. His Bond was so entertaining!
Connery was the better actor overall, but for us 1980s kids - Bond James Bond - Roger forever!
