My grandmother has a music box with the same song. When I used to stay the night over there, I would play it over and over again. I love the song. Now I’ve never seen the Godfather but they have a new Godfather game out and they play that song in the background. I can’t find it anywhere. I know that on the Godfather soundtrack, its the closer theme. Any ideas?? ---

The music you are thinking of is Nino Rota’s “Love Theme from The Godfather”. It’s not the opening theme, that’s a little different. ---

The song is also known as _Speak Softly Love_. ---
