An Officer & a Gentleman Final Scene - Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes - Up Where We Belong

An Officer & a Gentleman Zack Mayo (Richard Gere), a new member of the U.S. Navy, has a bad attitude. When he signs up for the Aviation Academy, he is met with the strict leadership of Sgt. Emil Foley (Louis Gossett Jr.), who gives Zack a rude awakening in terms of relating with other people. Through Foley’s guidance -- and an unexpected romance with Paula (Debra Winger), an outsider who hangs around the naval base -- Zack learns some tough lessons and discovers what he truly wants out of life.

Jennifer Warnes - Up Where We Belong Lyrics Who knows what tomorrow brings In a world few hearts survive All I know is the way I feel When it’s real, I keep it alive The road is long There are mountains in our way But we climb a step every day Love lift us up where we belong Where the eagles cry On a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong Far from the world below Up where the clear winds blow Some hang on to used to be Live their lives looking behind All we have is here and now All our lives, out there to find The road is long There are mountains in our way But we climb a step every day Love lift us up where we belong Where the eagles cry On a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong Far from the world we know Where the clear winds blow Time goes by No time to cry Life’s you and I Alive today Love lift us up where we belong Where the eagles cry On a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong Far from the world we know Where the clear winds blow Love lift us up where we belong Where the eagles cry On a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong Joe Cocker - feat.
