"Only Love" is a song by Greek singer Nana Mouskouri. It is the theme song to the American TV series Mistral's Daughter, based upon the novel by Judith Krantz. When released as a single, it reached number two on the UK Singles Chart in early 1986 and peaked atop the charts of Belgium, Ireland and the Netherlands.

The song was also a hit in its other versions: "L'Amour en Héritage" (French), "Come un'eredità" (Italian), "La dicha del amor" (Spanish), and "Aber die Liebe bleibt" (German). The German version was also recorded with an alternate set of lyrics under the title "Der wilde Wein" but was withdrawn in favour of "Aber die Liebe bleibt".
