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
And now I do believe
That even in a storm
We’ll find some light
Knowing you’re beside me
I’m all right
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

A Masterpiece of 70s Romance
The Ice Castles theme song, “Through the Eyes of Love,” is an iconic power ballad that defines the emotional peak of late-70s cinema. Written by the powerhouse duo of Marvin Hamlisch and Carole Bayer Sager, the song perfectly mirrors the film’s narrative of resilience, loss, and the restorative power of love. Melissa Manchester’s soaring vocal performance earned the song an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song.
The film tells the story of Lexie Winston, a talented young figure skater whose dreams are shattered by a tragic accident that leaves her blind. The song serves as the emotional backbone for her journey back to the ice, emphasizing that vision isn’t just about what the eyes see, but what the heart feels. Decades later, it remains a staple of adult contemporary radio and a favorite for professional figure skating routines.
