"'An Affair to Remember (Our Love Affair)'" is a 1957 romantic song which was composed by Harry Warren for the 1957 film 'An Affair to Remember'. Lyrics were by Leo McCarey and Harold Adamson. The song is sung by Vic Damone during the film's opening credits and then sung later by Deborah Kerr's character, Terry McKay, a nightclub singer-turned-music teacher. Kerr's singing was dubbed by Marni Nixon, who also dubbed for Kerr in the film 'The King and I'.
"An Affair to Remember" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1957 but lost out to "All the Way".
