"'Love Is Just Around the Corner'" is a popular song with music by Lewis E. Gensler and lyrics by Leo Robin, published in 1934. It was introduced in the 1934 Bing Crosby film 'Here is My Heart' and was also included in the 1935 film 'Millions in the Air'.

Crosby recorded the song on November 9, 1934 with Georgie Stoll and his Orchestra for Decca Records and it reached the No. 8 position in the USA charts of the day. He recorded the song again in 1954 for his album 'Bing: A Musical Autobiography'.
