Artist：Sarah Brightman
Song：Memory
From cats midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember
The time i knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every street lamp
Seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And a street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight, i must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And i mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
All alone with my memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
Look a new day has begun...
北京奥组委开闭幕式工作部部长张和平说，在开幕式文艺表演的结尾部分，也就是《梦想》表演段落里，将首次公开演唱开幕式主题歌。这首主题歌是从奥组委历时五年、举办了四届的奥运歌曲征集评选活动中脱颖而出，并经专门的评审程序确定的。为尊重大家对神秘的期待，今天仍然不公布这首主题歌的相关信息。但可以公布的是：主题歌长度为三分多钟，演唱者是中国著名歌手刘欢和英国著名歌手莎拉·布莱曼。
莎拉．布莱曼（Sarah Brightman）1960年8月14日出生于英国伦敦，3岁开始习舞，10年后首度参与戏剧演出，处女作是查尔斯．史卓斯（Charles Strouse）的作品"I and Albert"。1976年，布莱曼首度在电视萤幕上曝光，在影集"Pan's People"里面担任舞者，之后又担任流行乐团Hot Gossip的主唱；1978年，Hot Gossip的作品"I Lost My Heart to a Satrship Trooper"还登上英国流行排行榜第一名。莎拉布莱曼独具个人特色，她充满热情的创意构思以及举世无双的天籁，被誉为"月光女神"。
