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.)

"Now that I Know" Shannon McNally

If you haven't heard it...download it...this woman has an awesome voice!!

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.

Lovely thread that should not be forgotten.........one of my favourite songs would be "Joe Tex" ......"For Your Love"......wonderful memories reminiscing about some of these songs..........

pictures of you. i'm ashamed to say i'm not sure who. the cure, maybe?
