L'Amour De Ma Vie (English translation: "The Love Of My Life") was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1986, performed in French by Sherisse Laurence. The song was composed by Alain Garcia, Rolf Soja and Frank Dosta

The song is a ballad, in which Laurence describes her desire to find the love her her life and what sort of a personality he would have. The verses are memorable for the repetition of the French phrase "sans raison" ("for no reason") at the end of each line.

The song was performed first on the night (preceding Yugoslavia's Doris Dragović with Željo Moja). At the close of voting, it had received 117 points, placing 3rd in a field of 20.

It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1987 Contest by Plastic Bertrand with Amour Amour.
