He’d thought of it while his plane was stuck in a holding pattern over JFK one night.
We get the idea. Even though you left her way across town ", When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
Christopher Cross won’t be back in this column, but two of the co-writers of “Arthur’s Theme” will. Lyrics to 'Arthur's Theme (best That You Can Do)' by Christopher Cross: Once in your life you find her Someone that turns your heart around And next thing you know you're closing down the town Wake up and it's still with you Even though you left her way across town Arthur is a weird one. I don’t hear any of that in “Arthur’s Theme.” “Arthur’s Theme” is the sort lush, intricately orchestrated piece of music that you would expect from Burt Bacharach. Cross brings starry-eyed romanticism, but he doesn’t have the slick confidence that it takes to truly sell a Burt Bacharach song. Deep in his heart, he’s just… he’s just a boy.
The best that you can do
Cross could do thoughtful, introspective music, but in the orchestral bloat of “Arthur’s Theme,” he sounds like a lost little kid.
Their highest-charting single, 2016’s “HandClap,” peaked at #53, despite total ad-campaign omnipresence. If you get caught between the Moon and New York City Wake up and it's still with you Allen said that was fine, and he got himself a songwriting credit, a #1 single, and an Oscar out of it. (Three of them were members of Toto, a band that will eventually appear in this column.)
1 – The Butcher Shoppe Sessions, The Number Ones: Christopher Cross’ “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)”. This, at least, is how Christopher Cross describes the character of Arthur Bayer, Manhattan playboy billionaire.

Instead, the opening theme song fades out as Arthur’s driver pulls a Rolls Royce up to a curb.
Once in your life you find her When I search for the name/singer of the theme song for Arthur (the children's cartoon)...some sources say it is called "Believe in Yourself" and some say it is called "The Best You Can Do"...in addition, some sources say Christopher Cross sang it, and others say it was Ziggy Marley. The session musicians run wild — melodramatic sax-bleats, busily thudding echo-drenched drums, woodwinds out the ass.
Cross kept touring and recording afterward, but he faded from the pop landscape quickly, becoming a punchline about the sort of thing that wins tons of Grammys and then gets immediately forgotten. I know it's crazy but it's true Someone that turns your heart around The movie is a sort of money-porn romantic comedy.
Getting him to record the theme to Arthur was a big coup for the movie's producers. The best that you can do is fall in love, Arthur he does as he pleases “Why did I never know this was Ziggy.
Arthur meets working-class girl Liza Minnelli, and they fall in love.
He's laughing about the way they want him to be. Someone that turns your heart around The best that you can do is fall in love, Arthur he does as he pleases But he does marry her, and he gets the money anyway. Maybe the movie elegantly fleshes out Arthur Bayer’s character. Cross co-wrote the song with Burt Bacharach and Bacharach’s romantic partner Carole Bayer Sager, who was also a veteran pop songwriter. Part of the problem is Cross himself. But in the 1981 movie Arthur, we don’t actually hear Cross sing that description. For a while, Bayer Sager been writing songs with Peter Allen, who happened to be the first husband of Arthur star Liza Minnelli. Five days later, Bacharach and Bayer Sager got married.

In fact, the only part of the song that I really remember once it’s over is Peter Allen’s line about getting caught between the moon and New York City.
Wake up and it's still with you If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
It took Best Original Song, besting a list of nominees that included “Endless Love,” the same song that it unseated at #1.
