It is a secondary musical theme in the 1969 Bond film On Her Majesty 's Secret Service , the title theme being the instrumental `` On Her Majesty 's Secret Service , '' also composed by Barry . The song title is taken from Bond 's final words in both the novel and the film , spoken after his wife 's death . Armstrong was too ill to play his trumpet .
