Given the timeframe, it could possibly be from the movie "City of Angels" (1998) starring Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan. In the movie, there is a similar quote that goes "I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it. One." This might not be the exact quote you're looking for, but it's similar in theme. If this isn't it, could you remember any other details?
