Theme from Love Story
Francis Lai & His Orchestra Lyrics


The shadow of your smile
When you have gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn

Look into my eyes my love and see
All the lovely things you are to me

Our wistful little star
It was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I

Now when I remember spring
All the joys that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile

My great-grandmother has a mini piano that plays this, today i visited her, she told me that I should enjoy my life. She said goodbye, she knows she doesn’t have much time left. It’s always important to appreciate the present, we won’t live forever so we have to enjoy while we can. I hope that whoever is reading this the best in life and never give up on your dreams.

How many years old is your great grandma?

I came here because of the same, My grandparents had a musical box that played this song, which represents my childhood and my amazing time with them. My grandma is 95 years old but My grandpa passed away 2 years algo. I'll love them forever.

Büyük anneanneniz nasil şimdi. Umarım iyidir. Umarım birlikte güzel bir zaman geçiriyorsunuzdur.

Fot those who are asking, my great-grandmother unfortunately died in September 2022. However, she was tired, she wanted to take her last breath. I´m glad that she is not suffering anymore.
Also today i was told that i didn´t pass my collage exam but i remembered that my great-grandmother told me not to give on my dreams. I might not be the best at Math or Chemestry, might not have the talent but i still have time, i don´t want to give.
Also, if you are reading this and you are going thorugh a similar situatuion, NEVER GIVE UP, you may see everything dark and far away but it is never late to do what you love.

This is one of the most beautiful and saddest song, I remembered watching the movie the very first time at the age of 10, 40 years ago, I cried and cried. To this day, when I listened to it, it still gives me this chill in my heart and soul. To Ryan O' Neal and Alia McGraw, you are both loved and will always remembered. Thankyou.

I just watched it again, last night, on Netflix. And yes, screen chemistry between the two were absolutely perfect. And the setting at Harvard with old buildings and all was equally impressive.
