"Where Do I Begin: Love Story" according to Wikipedia is a popular song published in 1970, with music by Francis Lai and lyrics by Carl Sigman. The song was first introduced as an instrumental theme in the 1970 film Love Story. The lyrics were added after the theme music became popular.

I was ten year old when the song was first introduced as an instrumental theme for the film Love Story in 1970. And many remarkable singers and artists have recorded the song started from Andy Williams, Vikki Carr, Rick Astley, José José, Shirley Bassey, Donald Braswell II, Francis Lai, Henry Mancini, Johnny Mathis, Patricia Kaas, Paul Mauriat, Richard Clayderman, Alfio, Nino Tempo & April Stevens Estela, Nunez and many more. For details about the song kindly refer the following links: For Lyrics Where Do I Begin, for MP3 of the song by Engelbert and for Love Story by Engelbert Humperdinck. And for the instrumental piano watch the video.

Now I am in my 50s and still love to listen the beautiful song. And I even recommend this song to my children. For me this is a relaxing song. It reminds me my long lost friends who bring back the colors of my life. It brings love to my heart. A song that will never die. A song that really touch a soul. A song that inspires me. It relates sweet memories of the past. A song to be remembered from generation to generation. It helps purify my character and makes me happy. A pure love song with beautiful language. A song that reminds the beautiful side of life: love, beauty and peace. A song that every race would love. A song with a universal language of love in any society. Everyone can relate it. A song that even the Animal Kingdom appreciate it!
