"Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing" is a popular song with music by Sammy Fain and lyrics by Paul Francis Webster.

[3] The film was adapted from the book A Many-Splendoured Thing, so the songwriters wrote the song based on that title.

[9] This song is noted for its memorable lines: "In the morning mist, two lovers kissed, and the world stood still".

The song was covered by The Four Aces featuring Al Roberts backed by the Jack Pleis Orchestra and issued by Decca Records as catalog number 29625.

[23] The song has also been recorded by Ringo Starr (on his album Sentimental Journey),[24] Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams, Shirley Bassey, Nat King Cole and Barry Manilow.

The instrumental playback of this 1961 recording was also used when Francis cut a German-language version, "Sag, weißt du denn, was Liebe ist", in 1966.

French-Malaysian singer Shake recorded a French version of the song in 1977 titled "Rien n'est plus beau que l'amour".

It was also covered by the Bina Vokalia Children's Choir under the direction of Pranadjaja on Dendang Buah Hati concert in 1996.
