I Wish You Love is an English adaptation of the French song "Que reste-t-il de nos amours?" by Charles Trenet. The English lyrics, penned by Albert Beach, transform the original’s nostalgic and somewhat melancholy tone into a more straightforward and hopeful farewell. The English song was sung for the first time in 1957 by Keely Smith.
The Lyrics of I Wish You Love:
Goodbye no use leading with our chins
This is where our story ends
Never lovers ever friends
Goodbye Let our hearts call it a day
But before you walk away
I sincerely want to say
I wish you bluebirds in the Spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss but more
Than this I wish you love
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health and more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best my very best I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
I wish you love
