"You only live twice or so it seems
One life for yourself and one for your dreams.
You drift through the years and life seems tame
Til one dream appears and love is it's name.
And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on.
Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone.
This dream is for you, so pay the price.
Make one dream come true, you only live twice."

---John Barry (title track to the 1967 'James Bond' film "You Only Live Twice")
