I Wish You Love (song)

I Wish You Love (song)

"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. 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).
