[ozguy]

"Close To You", by The Carpenters ...... brings back soooooo many memories.

 

[hotdog1846]

There's a lot of love songs that give me that soft-and-gooey-inside feeling ... I don't really have a favorite, but there's two that pop into mind right now:

Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers
I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston

 

[ozguy]

Always loved Jim Croce's "Time In a Bottle", too ....

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I’d like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I’d save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I’ve looked around enough to know
That you’re the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I’ve looked around enough to know
That you’re the one I want to go
Through time with

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'Til Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

Back For Good -- Take That

 

[mega]

The poets say that all who love are blind
But i'm in love and i know what time it is
The good book says go seek and ye shall find
Well, i have sought and my what a climb it is
My life is just like the weather
It changes the the hours
When he's near I'm fair and warmer
When he's gone I'm cloudy with showers
And motion like the ocean
It's either sink or swim
When a man loves a man
Like i love him
Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
I got it bad and that ain't good
My poor heart is sentimental
not made of wood
I got it bad and that ain't good
But when the weekend's over
I end up like i started out
Just cryin' my lil' heart out
He don't love me
Like i love him
No, nobody could
I got it bad and that ain't good
So bad, so bad
I got it bad, so bad
Though folks with good intentions
Tell me to save my tears
I'm glad
I'm mad about you
Lord above me
Make him love me
The way he should
Like a lonely weeping willow lost in the wood
The things i tell my pillow
No man should
I got it bad, and that ain't good.



I took some liberties with the lyrics...

For your love, it just sounds great sung by Johnny Mathis, or Ed Townsend.
For your love………….by Ed Townsend (1976)



For your love, oh, I would do anything
I would do anything, fo-o-or your love

For your kiss oh, I would go anywhere
I would go (anywhere, fo-o-r your kiss)

More foolish I grow
With each heart beat
But we all get foolish
That's why I repeat

For your love oh, I would do anything
I would do anything, fo-o-or your kiss

I would do anything, fo-o-or your love (anything, anything, anything)
Fo-o-or your love
(ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ooh)

 

[RenaissanceMan]

I don't know if this is really a "love song"...it's more like of a "I'm falling in love" song...

Halfway to Heaven by Celine Dion...it's such a romantic, relaxing song...it reminds me of those kind of all those times you get to wake up with someone you love beside you (for some reason). The bridge is great..."I don't want to give my life in moderation".

Otherwise maybe something like Cole Porter...Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye.

Some other diva love songs:
I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston (her voice is beautiful and the sax is so romantic)
Always Be My Baby - Mariah Carey (one of the most uplifting love songs)

I'm probably missing some big ones...

 

[The-Mysterious-S]

Hmm... some of these are embarrassing...

"God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys

"Baby Can I Hold You Tonight" by Tracy Chapman, although I don't know if it's really a love song, per se.

"Crash and Burn" by Savage Garden

"A Case of You" by Joni Mitchell

"Boston and St. John's" by Great Big Sea

and

"Come What May" from Moulin Rouge

"I Will Always Love You" by Dolly Parton, but not the version by Whitney Houston

"Send in the Clowns." - Stephen Sonheim, "A Little Night Music"



Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air.
Send in the clowns.

Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move.
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.

Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again with my usual flair,
Sure of my lines,
No one is there.

Don't you love farce?
My fault I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother, they're here.

Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer,
Losing my timing this late
In my career?
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns.
Well, maybe next year.

"Losing My Mind" - Stephen Sondheim - "Follies"

The sun comes up,
I chink about you.
The coffee cup,
I think about you.
I want you so,
It's like I'm losing my mind.

The morning ends,
I think about you.
I talk to friends,
I think about you.
And do they know?
It's like I'm losing my mind.

All afternoon,
Doing every little chore,
The thought of you stays bright.
Sometimes I stand
In the middle of the floor,
Not going left,
Not going right.
I dim the lights
And think about you,
Spend sleepless nights
To think about you.
You said you loved me,
Or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
I want you so,
It's like I'm losing my mind.
Does no one know?
It's like I'm losing my mind.

All afternoon,
Doing every little chore,
The thought of you stays bright.
Sometimes I stand
In the middle of the floor,
Not going left,
Not going right.
I dim the lights
And think about you,
Spend sleepless nights
To think about you.
You said you loved me,
Or were you just being kind!
Or am I losing my mind?
