The Living Daylights.
Hey driver
wherere we going? I swear my nerves are showing
Set my hopes up way too high
livings in the way we die.
Comes the morning and the headlights fade in rain
Of hundred thousand people Im the one they frame.
Ive been waiting long for one of us to say:
Save the darkness
let it never fade away -
In the living daylights
in the living daylights.
Alright
hold on tight now
its down
down to the wire
Set your hopes up way too high
livings in the way we die.
Comes the morning and the headlights fade away
Hundred thousand changes
everythings the same.
Ive been waiting long for one of us to say:
Save the darkness
let it never fade away -
In the living daylights
living daylights
living daylights.
Comes the morning and the headlights fade away
hundred thousand people
Im the one they frame
In the living daylights
in the living daylights.
Living daylights
- set your hopes up way too high
Living daylights
- livings in the way we die -
Living daylights
- set your hopes up way too high -
Living daylights
- livings in the way we die

The Living Daylights (1987) is the fifteenth spy film in the James Bond series, and the first to star Timothy Dalton as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. The film's title is taken from Ian Fleming's short story "The Living Daylights."
The beginning of the film (following the title sequence) resembles the short story, in which Bond has to act as a counter sniper to protect a defecting Soviet. The film begins with Bond investigating the deaths of a number of MI6 agents. The Soviet defector, Georgi Koskov, informs him that General Pushkin, head of the KGB, is systematically killing Western operatives (British and American spies). When Koskov is seemingly snatched back by the Soviets, Bond follows him across Europe, Morocco and Afghanistan.
The film was produced by Albert R. Broccoli, his stepson Michael G. Wilson, and his daughter Barbara Broccoli. The Living Daylights was well received by most critics, and was also a financial success, grossing $191.2 million worldwide.
It was the last film to bear the title of a story by Ian Fleming until 2006's Casino Royale, 19 years later.
