A Love Like Ours is an album by Barbra Streisand. It was released in North America on September 21, 1999 and Europe on September 20, 1999. It is her 23rd Top 10 album in the US. This was Streisand's first commercial release since her marriage to actor James Brolin. Much of the material was inspired by this event. As such, the disc booklet contains images of her and Brolin.

The album didn't manage to achieve the success of Streisand's two previous albums, debuting at number 6 in America with sales of 145,000 copies in the first week. It was eventually certified Gold and Platinum. The album sold nearly 3 million copies worldwide.

"We Must Be Loving Right" was previously recorded by George Strait on his 1993 album Easy Come, Easy Go. Both Strait's original and Streisand's cover were produced by Tony Brown.

"If You Ever Leave Me", a duet with country star Vince Gill was released to country radio. It peaked at number 62 on the Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart and stayed there for 6 weeks. In the UK the single peaked at number 26.

"I've Dreamed of You" was also released and peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Hot Single Sales chart and number 12 on the Hot Canadian Digital Singles chart.
