John Wayne - El Dorado - Song by George Alexander

El Dorado (USA 1966)
Directed by Howard Hawks
Soundtrack by Nelson Riddle and John Gabriel
Theme Song by George Alexander

Lyrics:
In sunshine and shadow, from darkness till noon
Over mountains that reach from the sky to the moon
A man with a dream that will never let go
Keeps searching to find El Dorado
So ride, boldly ride, to the end of the rainbow
Ride, boldly ride, till you find El Dorado
The wind becomes bitter, the sky turns to grey
His body grows weary, he can't find his way
But he'll never turn back, though he's lost in the snow
For he has to find El Dorado
So ride, boldly ride, to the end of the rainbow
Ride, boldly ride, till you find El Dorado
My Daddy once told me what a man ought to be
There's much more to life than the things we can see
And the godliest mortal you ever will know
Is the one with the dream of El Dorado
So ride, boldly ride, to the end of the rainbow
Ride, boldly ride, till you find El Dorado

@PaulGreen11 I love Rio Bravo but I think El Dorado was a little better.

@aatef1981 Its "dickhead" smarty pants and the RIP is to be understood as metaforic: "dead" in terms of "These times are gone" ...you aint very smart are ya ?
