''We Have All the Time in the World'' is a James Bond theme and popular song sung by Louis Armstrong. Its music was composed by John Barry and the lyrics by Hal David. It is a secondary musical theme in 1969 James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the title theme being the instrumental "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," also composed by Barry.
The song title, "We Have All the Time in the World", is taken from James Bond's final words in both the novel and the film. Louis Armstrong was too ill to play his trumpet. Barry chose Armstrong because he felt he could "deliver the title line with irony."
When asked for his favourite Bond composition, John Barry cited both "We Have All..." and "Goldfinger". "Goldfinger" because it perfected the "Bond Sound", and "We Have All..." because it was the finest piece of music he had written for a Bond movie and because of the pleasure of working with Louis Armstrong.
How much time do we have? :-)
Lyrics:
We have all, the time in the world
Time enough for life, to unfold
All the precious things
Love has in store
We have all the love in the world
If that's all we have, you will find
We need nothing more
Every step of the way
Will find us
With the cares of the world
Far behind us
We have all the time in the world
Just for love
Nothing more, nothing less, only love...
Every step of the way
Will find us
With the cares of the world
Far behind us, yes...
We have all the time in the world
Just for love, nothing more, nothing less, only love...
Only love...
