Arthurs Theme "Best that you can do "

Another Eighties Classic from the 1981 Film "Arthur" starring Dudley Moore and Liza Minelli.Performed by Christopher Cross. I was a chunky one year old with all my schmultz and rolls but that's of course besides the point. So as I was saying this song won a 1981 Academy Award for Best Original Song along with a Golden Globe.

It is another favourite. A timeless classic. Another mushy song , but let's be honest at least for me Mushies are the best ! Again Love the Lyrics, the song and the movie , a highly recommended Eighties romantic comedy. Dudley Moore is great in this. I think they are releasing a remake of this movie with Russel Brand .. I'm yet to see it.

I remember seeing this movie as a chunky tot, it came out in South Africa a few years after it was released in the States .I remember watching the movie and hearing the lines "When you get caught between the Moon and New York City "and wishing I could actually be in New York. I always imagined it as this Magical City I had never been and always wanted to go.Well I still haven't been, but I plan on doing this trip very very soon!!!

Lyrics below , they are beautiful ..

Once in your life you find her
Someone that turns your heart around
And next thing you know you're closing down the town
Wake up and it's still with you
Even though you left her way across town
Wondering to yourself, "Hey, what've I found?"

When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
The best that you can do ......
The best that you can do is fall in love

Arthur he does as he pleases
All of his life, he's mastered choice
Deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
And showing himself a really good time
Laughing about the way they want him to be

When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
The best that you can do .....
The best that you can do is fall in love

When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
The best that you can do .....
The best that you can do is fall in love
