1957 Film starring Cary Grant Deborah Kerr
Directed Leo McCarey
American Film Institute (AFI) Ranked #5 of America's greatest love stories
Remake from McCarey's 1939 file called Love Affair with Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer




Our love affair is a wondrous thing
That we'll rejoice in remembering
Our love was born with our first embrace
And a page was torn out of time and space.

Our love affair, may it always be
A flame to burn through eternity
So take my hand with a fervent prayer
That we may live and we may share
A love affair to remember.

(bridge)

So take my hand with a fervent prayer
That we may live and we may share
A love affair to remember.

CE BEL AMOUR - 'AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER' (en Francais)
Music by Harry Warren,
French lyrics not attributed.


Ce bel amour, qui ne peut mourir,
Sera pour nous un doux souvenir,
Promesse ardente du premier baiser,
Qui nous lie, tous deux, pour l’éternité.


D’un bel amour toujours grandissant
Qui défiera les épreuves du temps.
Trouvons la joie, reste dans mes bras,
Que nous vivions 
un bel amour,
Affaire de coeur, qu’on n’oublie pas
