Originally By. Jo Stafford
See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me.
See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
But remember when a dream appears
You belong to me.
I’ll be so alone without you
Maybe you’ll be lonesome too---and blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
Watch the jungle when it’s wet with rain
Just remember till you’re home again
You belong to me

For those of you who didn't see the movie, Bob Dylan does an amazing rendition of the above song on the "Natural Born Killers" soundtrack, which is how I fell so in love with it in the first place. That particular version brings back a lot of memories and every time I hear it, feels like everything inside me melts instantaneously. Long before that, in the 1960s, it was done by The Duprees, but, naturally, Bob Dylan's voice brought the song a haunting, deeply sad quality that is unparalleled.
