부산 국제 영화제의 개막작으로 선정됨과 동시에 왕가위와 양조위의 방한으로 국내영화팬들과 언론에서 지대한 관심을 받고 있다. 또한 왕가위의 이전 영화들에서보다 더욱더 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있는 영화 음악은 벌써부터 2004년 최대의 사운드트랙이 될것이라고 예견되고 있다.
♬ ♡ (Prelude) ♡ ♬ When marimba rhythms start to play Dance with me, make me sway Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze Bend with me, sway with ease When we dance you have a way with me Stay with me, sway with me
Other dancers may be on the floor Dear, but my eyes will see only you Only you have the magic technique When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins Long before it begins Make me thrill as only you know how Sway me smooth, sway me now
♬ ♡ (Interlude) ♡ ♬ Other dancers may be on the floor Dear, but my eyes will see only you Only you have the magic technique When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins Long before it begins Make me thrill as only you know how Sway me smooth, sway me now You know how Sway me smooth, sway me now
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yuletide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe Help to make the season bright Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way He's loaded lots of toys And goodies on his sleigh And every mother's child is gonna spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although its been said Many times, many ways Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas to.. You!
