OLTL Opening Titles Montage (1968-2004)

Here is a montage of the One Life to Live Opening Titles from the beginning to the present version.

Words to Peabo Bryson opening ('84-'91)
Here's what you do when you don't find the rainbow's end, this time.

Here's where [to]/[you] go when it looks like the rain won't end, don't cry.

--- long version start ---

There's always tomorrow, where you can have a second chance.

And after tomorrow, all that you have to remember:

Here's what to do when you think nobody cares, for you.

Look in my eyes and you'll see there's an answer there, it's true.

We'll find tomorrow's a place for us, I know because.

Time only knows how long forever's gonna last.

And we don't even need to ask.

Let's live today and find someone to share it with.

'Cause we only have One Life to Live.

--- short version continues ---
I'll give you tomorrow, let me be the one to share it with.

And each day that follows.

'Cause we only have One Life to Live

--- long version ---

Nothing comes easy.

One Life to Live

One turn around.

One Life

One Life

One Life to Live

Take it or leave it.

One turn around.

One Life

One Life to Live

One Life to Live

One Life

Nothing comes easy

With all the departures coming and (presumably) some past favorites returning before the end, I wouldn't mind them going back and using one of the old openings. I started watching with the "birds flying" opening, so that's the one that's most sentimental to me. But I loved the Peabo Bryson opening. They could run a montage of old clips with the Peabo Bryson opening. Would be very fitting for the show's final months.

@VAwriter I agree but I bet their budget is probably capped and they'll try to use their $ to get past people to come back. We might get some sort of tribute in the last week or two if we are lucky. But I don't think any of the other soaps exiting have done much with the openings as they exited.

does anyone know where i can find the lyrics for the one that goes.. "heres what you do when you cant find the rainbows end"? i really like it. :)

[whitbyterry]

@Mcbainxgirl I have included the lyrics in the video description.

You for got one Opening the 1971 opening with the fire and the Log, the FLame And the Log!

[whitbyterry]

@Gavb77ed I don't think I've ever seen that one. Is it on YouTube anywhere?

[mrob75]

ABC would NEVER be so considerate to its daytime viewers by paying homage to this legendary drama. I will never forgive ABC/Disney for putting a sudden end to One Life to Live.

[Kimmiesmidge]

All I can do is cry.

@thesoapseduction I totally agree and just this week found out he was the singer!

[thesoapseduction]

The Peabo Bryson the was THE best! It should be a single for reals!

Only 21 episodes left. Let's hope Frons and Co, the cast of the "Choke" and that new show (the one replacing OLTL) get burned by poisoned meatballs and choked with a Tampax string by the OB-GYN on the new show....I have boycotted ALL ABC PROGRAMMING. My boss said I am hardcore. lol

[MissDee091]

If Brian Frons and the other "execs" who made the call end AMC and OLTL would take their heads out of their asses, we would still have our shows on the air.

My opinion and past comments about Frons and Company have gotten me banned from the ABC boards and the OLTL link on Facebook. It's obvious that Frons knows soap fans are upset, can't handle the truth about anything, including himself.

[snoops71]

I remember most of these :) Really enjoyed watching this!

[Princefanforver]

Love the theme song of the late 80's, but my favorite is the circa 1993 one with the champage. I know its kinda cheesy and racy for that time, but it's so soap opera! This was when people were watching soaps! Sigh! Still a soap fan, but I miss those days

[vinylrecord68]

Can't help but keep playing the 75-80 version over and over again...I just love the music...and the simple graphics!

[MissDee091]

Personally, I think Kathy Brier (Marcie, OLTL) should have sued Brian Frons and Anne Sweeney for the comments Frons made about her.

43 years and this idiot thinks that people have no interest in soaps? This guy needs to be locked in a room for 43 hours with angry AMC and OLTL fans.

I am a working college student, and I, like college students back in the 80 and 90's, dvr my soaps. The dvr replaced the vcr. I give "The Chew" until the end of the year...

The only one I remember is the one at 0:22 with the sunrise and the french horns opening. In my high school band, the french horn players all used to always play that when we were warming up, so that at one concert my band director had them all play that for the audience.
