W comme WALK THE LINE

Le film Walk the Line, réalisé en 2005, raconte la vie de Johnny Cash (1932-2003), chanteur et compositeur américain de country-rock. C'est Joaquin Phoenix qui joue le rôle de Johnny Cash tandis que Reese Witherspoon est June Carter, sa deuxième épouse, également chanteuse de country (elle l'accompagnait parfois sur scène).
Le titre du film reprend celui de sa chanson la plus célèbre I Walk the Line, enregistrée en 1956 et Disque d'or en 1964, que je vous propose d'écouter.
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line
As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line
You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
