Anyone remember "Lara's Theme" from the movie "Dr Zhivago?" I was about 10 when it came out and I think the Ray Coniff singers had a recording of it on the radio with lyrics. The last line was, "Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again," but I thought they were singing, "Don't speak, my love, till you are mine again." I always wondered how anyone could just stop speaking till they saw their sweetheart again, but I figured it was because they were so in love.
