A time for us, someday there'll be
When chains are tron by courage
Born of a love that's free
A time when dreams so long denied can flourish
As we unveil the love we now must hide
A time for us, at last to see
A life worth while for you and me
And with our love through tears and thorns we will endure
As we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, someday there'll be
A new world, a world of shining hope for you and me
「羅密歐與茱麗葉」搬上銀幕並不是第一次,早在約三十年前好萊塢就曾拍攝成電影,
而且當時在世界各地都相當轟動,台灣當時的中文片名為「殉情記」。
"A time for us"這首歌就是「殉情記」的主題曲,但是這首歌並未出現在電影中。
原因是原來的配樂實在太動聽,後來有人將其主題音樂填上歌詞,
交由當時最紅的男歌星安迪威廉斯演唱,而成了一首暢銷曲。
