Album: Velvet Goldmine - Music From The Original Motion Picture
Year: 1998

Lyrics:
Oh, I was moved by your screen dream
Celluloid pictures living
Your death could not kill my love for you
Take two people romantic
Smoky nightclub situation
Your cigarette traces a ladder

Here's looking at you kid
Celebrate years
Here's looking at you kid
Wipe away tears
Long time since we're together
Now I hope it's forever

Ideal love flies away now
White jacket black tie wings too
You gave her away to the hero
Words don't express my meaning
Notes could not spell out the score
But finding not keeping's the lesson

Here's looking at you kid
Hard to forget
Here's looking at you kid
At least not yet
Your memory stays
It lingers ever
Will fade away never

I like the movie version better but can't find it anywhere :(

[Orsojka]

Movie version? Is that different?

[MrJoshua2020]

I know I'll probably be lynched for this but I enjoy this version in a lot of ways more than the original. Musically the first one by a landslide, however vocally Thom Yorke has what this song needs. PS. I hate Thom Yorke.

[BitterrPill]

Most definitely Thom Yorke singing. Amazing, eh?

[JohnnyLovelyMusicVid]

I hate Thom Yorke's singing. He ALWAYS whines. that's the main reason i can't stand radiohead. on the other hand, roxy music is my favourite band, so you can see how this is insulting to me.

[Petisco1111]

fabuloso...

[mayclark]

I hate bernard buttler, but I almost like him everytime I think he was behiend this song.... thom yorke... as amazing as always!!!

[ThePabloemery]

[swccmty]

@Indielbloodsear I have the movie versions... but was simply taken form movie directly..... yes... movie´s version is better....

[jirdimaster]

This shows Thom's versatility, i thought for sure it wasn't him until he hit a certain note.

[franciscoarqui]

la gente debería escuchar esto

[spiros11386]

2hb= To Humphrey Bogart.... song is all about Casablanca, really beautiful

[spiros11386]

@Orsojka I'm not really sure, but I think Jonathan Rhys Meyers sings it in the movie.... could be wrong though, don't kill me

[amishnation]

I dedicate this song to every true friend I've had in my life!
