 Love Story  (Where Do I Begin)  ♩♪♬ Nana Mouskouri 

 
 
Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start

With her first hello
She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine
There'd never be another love, another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart

She fills my heart with very special things
With angel's songs , with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I'm never lonely
With her around, who could be lonely
I reach for her hand-it's always there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her till the stars all burn away
And she'll be there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her till the stars all burn away
And she'll be there

Love Story (1970) is a sentimental, romantic tearjerker film from director Arthur Hiller about a tragic couple. [Hiller had passed up the opportunity to work on The Godfather (1972) to make this film.] The melodramatic soap-opera, tremendously popular and a financial success (the top-earning film of the year) but panned by critics for its sappy content, was based upon Erich Segal's best-selling short novel of the same name. The film's tagline, "Love means never having to say you're sorry," appeared slightly differently in Segal's novelization: "Love means not ever having to say you're sorry."

"Love Story" by Erich Segal, is a romantic and funny, yet tragic story, that over 35 years ago had an entire generation in love, in tears, and spouting "Love means never having to say you're sorry".
  It is the story of 2 young college grads, who's love was stronger then any of the tests life threw at them.  Oliver Barrett IV, a rich(very rich), big Harvard jock, heir to the Barrett fortune and legacy.  Jennifer Cavilleri, daughter of a Cranston, Rhode Island baker, with not much money, but lots of love.

 Oliver was expected to follow in his father's huge footsteps, Jennifer, a music major was to go on and study in Paris.  Both from very different worlds. But when they met, the sparks flew, and we get involved with them as their love grows deep and strong.  Oliver turns his back on his family and fortune to marry Jenny.  Jenny gives up her dreams of Paris and being a musician.  But to each other, there is nothing as important as the other in their lives.   When life throws them a tragic turn, they find solace in each other arms, and the reader can not help but feel their pain and their deep love as well.


  It's a moving story, and if you have a hankerin for a real romance, you want to laugh and cry, and have never read this one before, you should go for it.  It will definitely leave you sighing. 5 stars the first time around.  Having read this for the first time in about 30 years though, I have to say 'sorry', I just didn't love it as much as I did the first time around.  After this time, I wished I had just stayed with the memories of how it felt after the first read.   A good read,and a fast one, just doesn't have the same sentimental punch over time.  Highly recommended to romantics who have not read it yet.  You'll smile, you'll cry. Be sure to have the Kleenex on hand.
