Two Rode Together Eastman Color (1961) is a western film directed by John Ford, and starring James Stewart, Richard Widmark and Shirley Jones. The supporting cast includes Linda Cristal, Andy Devine and John McIntire. The movie was based upon the novel Comanche Captives by Will Cook.
In the 1880s, Marshal Guthrie McCabe (James Stewart) is content to be the business and personal partner of attractive saloon owner Belle Aragon (Annelle Hayes), receiving ten percent of the profits. When relatives of Comanche captives demand that Army Major Fraser (John McIntire) free them, he uses a combination of army pressure and high pay to get the reluctant McCabe to take on the job of ransoming any he can find. He assigns Lieutenant Jim Gary (Richard Widmark) to accompany McCabe.
Marty Purcell (Shirley Jones) is haunted by the memory of her abducted younger brother Steve. She keeps a music box that belonged to him. McCabe warns her that Steve will not remember her because he was a young boy when he was taken years ago. McCabe is also promised a large reward by the wealthy stepfather of another boy.

If you're not in my arms then you're too far away
And when you're far away I'd get the blues
[ Connie ]
You're the first thing I think of at the dawn of day
And the last thing that I'll ever want to lose
[ Nat ]
Oh I start to weak all over when you're out of my sight
And I know till your return I won't feel better
[ Connie ]
So keep on loving me the way you do
[ Nat ]
Just as long as you want me to
[ Both ]
And we'll always be together
[ Connie ]
At times I know my feet don't even touch the ground
And it's because of you I feel this way
[ Nat ]
Hmm there's not a thing that I can think of that can keep me down
Just as long as I can see you every day
[ Connie ]
I've heard 'em say that true nearly always fades
Ah but we know something they don't we know better
[ Nat ]
So keep on loving me the way you do
[ Connie ]
Just as long as you want me to
[ Both ]
