I Wish You Love (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"I Wish You Love" is a popular song. The music was written by Léo Chauliac, with French lyrics under the title "Que reste-t-il de nos amours?" by Charles Louis Trenet.
The English title and lyrics are by Albert A. Beach. The original French lyric wistfully evokes memories of happier youthful days. The English version, whilst in no sense a translation of the original, captures the same air of wistfulness.
It was first recorded by Keely Smith in 1957. It has since become a standard, with many other recordings.
