"My Love and Devotion" is a song written by Howard Barnes, Harold Fields and Joe Roncoroni[1][2] under the collective pseudonym Milton Carson,[3] that was recorded by Doris Day in 1952. It peaked at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart.[4]

Other recordings of the song include versions by Perry Como, recorded in 1952,[5] and Matt Monro. Monro's version reached number 29 in the UK Singles Chart in November 1962.[6] The song won Most Outstanding Song, Musically and Lyrically at the 8th Ivor Novello Awards held on 4 May 1963 and broadcast live on BBC television.[7]

The tune is based on the theme of the second movement of the Violin Concerto No. 2 by the Polish violin virtuoso and composer Henryk Wieniawski, which dates from 1862.
