We Have All the Time in the World

We Have All the Time in the World

"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, spoken after his wife's death. The song was not registered in the music rating charts in the UK when first released, only becoming well known 25 years later, as part of a Guinness beer commercial after My Bloody Valentine chose to cover it for charity. It was then re-released and reached number 3 in the UK Singles Chart. In 2005, a BBC survey showed it is the third-most-popular love song played at weddings [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4421219.stm] .

In addition to My Bloody Valentine, "We Have All the Time in the World" has been covered by Iggy Pop, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Vic Damone, Amalia Grè, The Fairly Handsome Band and Tindersticks. Iggy Pop's version of it plays during the end credits of the film "The Jacket".
