You beat me to it Red. I would have said just about anything by Marvin Gaye or Al Green. Gotta throw Sam Cooke in there too.
"At first I thought it was infatuation, but ooh it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting to marry you and take you home
Woah-oh-wo-oh-oh
Yoooou send me
Darling yooou send me
Darling yooou send me
Honest you do, honest you, honest you do"
Two songs in particular that I must mention is not by Marvin, Al or Sam. One, "Your Song" by Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
My wife and I fell in love to that song. We danced to it at our wedding.
The second is an atypical love song. "Arms Wide Open" by Creed. You don't often hear a song devouted to a father's love for his child. I get teary whenever I hear it because I hit the airwaves at the same time I found out I'd be a father.
"Well I just heard, the news today
It seems my life, is gonna change
I close my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face
With arms wide open, under the sunlight
Welcome to this place, I'll show you everything
With arms wide open"
See what I mean?
