"Our Love" is 1939 song that was recorded by Frank Sinatra and was his first recording. Some sources have said that this song was recorded a day before Sinatra married his first wife Nancy or a month later in March. This song would not make Sinatra famous, but in this year he would join the Harry James Orchestra, but left them a year later and in the 1940 would join Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra and Sinatra would make his first hit song I'll Never Smile Again. Sinatra's recording of "Our Love" can be heard on YouTube.com.

Writers were Larry Clinton, Buddy Bernier, and Charles Emmerich. This is one of a group of songs from the Big Band jazz era that were written as popular adaptations of classical music. This song is based upon the Act 2 love theme, "O nüit divine" from the Charles Gounod opera, Romeo et Juliette. The song was recorded again in 1960 by George Greeley on his Warner Bros. (WS-1387) album Popular Piano Concertos of the World's Great Love Themes. Sinatra and Greeley joined the Tommy Dorsey band on the same day, and worked together for a year.
