A Love That Will Never Grow Old

written by Gustavo Santaolalla / Bernie Taupin 

performed by Emmylou Harris

Go to sleep, may your sweet dreams come true

Just lay back in my arms for one more night 

I've this crazy old notion that calls me sometimes 

Saying this one's the love of your life. 

Cause I know a love that will never grow old 

And I know a love that will never grow old. 

When you wake up the world may have changed 

But trust in me, I'll never falter or fail 

Just the smile in your eyes, it can light up the night, 

And your laughter's like wind in my sails. 

Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time, 

Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long. 

Who cares where we go on this rugged old road 

In a world that may say that we're wrong. 

看完了斷背山，文字和影像，都講足了讓人悵然的情感。

不過我倒念念不忘電影配樂，吉他為主的弦樂，悠緩的像故事裡兩人倚馬偕行。

在原聲帶裡，有幾首用做註記故事發生年代的背景音樂如"He Was a Friend of Mine", "The Maker Makes", "It’s So Easy"等都不陌生；而原創歌曲"No One's Gonna Love You Like Me"和"A Love That Will Never Grow Old"更增添了故事的餘韻。

Emmylou Harris的演唱把歌詞裡的信念和承諾說得極其篤定又豐沛，我想起小說在兩人最後一次見面離別時寫的：Nothing ended, nothing begun, nothing resolved.，難道這樣無始無終毫無結果的事物才教人信仰。
