I Wish You Love (song)

"Que reste-t-il de nos amours ?" (, What Remains of Our Love?) is a French popular song, with music by Léo Chauliac & Charles Trenet and lyrics by Charles Trenet .

It was first recorded by Trenet in 1942, with subsequent recordings by Dalida in 1972 and by Rony Verbiest in 2001. An Italian version entitled "Che cosa resta" was recorded by Franco Battiato in 1999.

The song was used extensively in the François Truffaut film Stolen Kisses, its French title, Baisers volés, having been taken from the song's lyrics. The song was also used in the films "Something's Gotta Give" (2003), Iris" (2001), "Ces amours-là" (2010).

The song is best known to English-speaking audiences as "I Wish You Love", with new lyrics by Albert A. Beach. It was first recorded by Keely Smith in 1957. It has since become a standard, with many other recordings. Gloria Lynne's 1964 recording for the Everest label reached #28 on the Billboard Hot 100, also top #10 on the Easy Listening chart (edited from the Hot 100), and #3 on Cashbox Magazine's R&B chart (Billboard did not publish standard R&B listings during 1964).

Famous quotes containing the word love:

    For slowly even her sense of him
    And love itself were growing dim.
    He no more drew the smile he sought.
    The story is she died of thought.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
