Theme from Ice Castles (Looking Through the Eyes of Love)
Marvin Hamlisch, Carole Bayer Sager
Please, don’t let this feeling end
It’s everything I am
Everything I want to be
I can see what’s mine now
Finding out what’s true
Since I found you
Looking through the eyes of love
Now, I can take the time
I can see my life
As it comes up shining now
Reaching out to touch you
I can feel so much
Since I found you
Looking through the eyes of love
And now, I do believe
That even in a storm we’ll find some light
Knowing you’re beside me, I’m all right
Please, don’t let this feeling end
It might not come again
And I want to remember
How it feels to touch you
How I feel so much
Since I found you
Looking through the eyes of love.
The song was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 52nd Academy Awards and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song at the 37th Golden Globe Awards during the 1980 awards season, but lost both times, losing to "It Goes Like It Goes" from Norma Rae and "The Rose" from The Rose, respectively.
At the 1980 Academy Awards ceremony, Manchester performed two nominated songs on the same night, the other being "I'll Never Say Goodbye", which she sang for the film The Promise.
The song was not on any of Manchester's studio albums, but was included on her first Greatest Hits album in 1983 and on many of her subsequent compilations since. A single mix was released for the first time on CD as a bonus track on the Wounded Bird reissue of Manchester's Don't Cry Out Loud album, in 2007.
