Aldrich's albums are usually pretty , easy listening,but if you haven't heard one, it's worth spending up to three bucks to own your own little bit of authentic 60s experience. Not the Haight-Ashbury-Woodstock-Jimi Hendrix kind of experience, but the experience most people had. What he produced entertained millions, although obviously not cutting edge music. Put on Ronnie's take on "Music to Watch Girls By" and you can imagine yourself strolling down the aisle at the A&P or shopping for school clothes at J.C. Penney. Or riding an elevator to your dad's office. Or waiting at the Omaha Airport. Who needs Eastern philosophy to get blissed out?
Born at Erith , Kent, U K, 15th February 1916, educated in Folkestone and proved musically talented as he learnt to play the piano aged only 3 !!! After his musical career he retired to the Isle of Man, where he died, from prostate cancer, aged 77, on the 30th September 1993.

Ronnie Aldrich Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My love's here, it's no dream tonight
It's been so long
Since we've danced to our love song
I know the melody that made him mine
Will be the melody that keeps him close to me (love's theme)
Play our love's theme once more
While the lights are low
Please, let the music flow
I know that the melody that made him mine
Will be the melody that keeps him close to me (love's theme)
Play our love's theme again
Touch his heart, touch his soul and then
Once we sip the wine
His lips will come to mine
I know that the melody that made him mine
Will be the melody that keeps him close to me
Love's theme...
The Love Theme from "The Godfather" as interpreted by Ronnie Aldrich and his 2 pianos The London Festival Orchestra is a stunning piece of music that captures the essence of love in the most romantic way. The song begins with a plea to the musicians to play their love's theme tonight as her lover is here, and it's not a dream. The singer expresses how long it's been since they've danced to their love song, and the melody that had once made her lover hers will be the same melody that keeps him close to her. As the music flows and the lights are low, the singer wishes to make her lover feel like he felt before. She wants the melody to touch his heart and soul, just like it did when they first fell in love. They will sip wine, and as their lips meet, the melody will keep him mine.
