北京奧運開幕式主題歌演唱者：Sarah Brightman
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...

北京奧組委開閉幕式工作部部長張和平說，在開幕式文藝表演的結(jié)尾部分，也就是《夢想》表演段落里，將首次公開演唱開幕式主題歌。這首主題歌是從奧組委歷時五年、舉辦了四屆的奧運歌曲征集評選活動中脫穎而出，并經(jīng)專門的評審程序確定的。為尊重大家對神秘的期待，今天仍然不公布這首主題歌的相關(guān)信息。但可以公布的是：主題歌長度為三分多鐘，演唱者是中國著名歌手劉歡和英國著名歌手莎拉·布萊曼。
莎拉．布萊曼（Sarah Brightman）1960年8月14日出生于英國倫敦，3歲開始習(xí)舞，10年后首度參與戲劇演出，處女作是查爾斯．史卓斯（Charles Strouse）的作品"I and Albert"。1976年，布萊曼首度在電視螢?zāi)簧掀毓猓谟凹?Pan's People"里面擔(dān)任舞者，之后又擔(dān)任流行樂團Hot Gossip的主唱；1978年，Hot Gossip的作品"I Lost My Heart to a Satrship Trooper"還登上英國流行排行榜第一名。莎拉布萊曼獨具個人特色，她充滿熱情的創(chuàng)意構(gòu)思以及舉世無雙的天籟，被譽為"月光女神"。
