Just a few of my own nominations:

"Day After Day", Badfinger
"Without You", written by Badfinger, as performed by Harry Nilsson
"Just Like Starting Over", John Lennon
"Moments in Love", the Art of Noise (no real lyrics, but great music)
"In Thee", Blue Oyster Cult
"Rain on Me", Jane Wiedlin
"Reasons for Waiting", Jethro Tull
"True Love Ways", Buddy Holly
"Think About It", Acoustic Junction
"Then I Met You", the Proclaimers
"Heaven on a Sunday", Paul McCartney
"I Will Hold On", Moxy Fruvous
"The Last Beat of My Heart", Siouxsie and the Banshees
"You're My Best Friend", Queen
"Fish on the Sand", George Harrison
"Let My Love Open the Door", Pete Townshend
"Hit the Parade", Something Happens
"Message to My Girl", Split Enz
"I've Been Waiting", Matthew Sweet
"All I Want", Toad the Wet Sprocket

Anyone care to try to pin down my musical tastes? :)

Also, "Blink" by the Young Dubliners gets an honorable mention, although it's more about a missed opportunity for love:

"Some people say I'm obsessive
To know so much in just seconds
But if love at first sight is a real thing
It just gave me a beating"

Finally, Cheap Trick would have one of the best love songs of all time if not for one word:

"All I want is a place in your heart
To fall into
All I need is someone to love
And tonight it's you"

If not for that one word, "Tonight It's You" would rank pretty high on my list.

(Quotes for all songs named in my previous post are available on request. Seriously--if you wanna know why something's on my list, just ask.)

OldFart mentioned, Johnny Mathis' "Twelfth of Never" which my wife and I both loved, but I think our favorite has always been "Unchained Melody" by the Platters (although Elvis did a great version).

There are several versions of "The Impossible Dream" which also are in the running. Maybe the soundtrack from Man of LaMancha.

Not to forget the perennial "Mona Lisa"...by Nat King Cole......still vibrant...breathtaking.....and touching after all these years.
