Favorite Love Song

[Ceeje]

Since it's now the month of LOVE and Valentine's is just around the corner...

What song is your favorite love song?

[Cheza]

It's too hard to pick ONE, Ceeje!

I'll start off with one of mine that many may not remember - it's from the hair band era...to be specific - *gulp* - it's by Europe.

"Tomorrow" (by Joey Tempest)

Will you be there beside me
If the world falls apart
And will all of our moments
Remain in your heart
Will you be there to guide me
All the way through, I wonder will you

Walk by my side, and follow my dreams
And bear with my pride, as strong as it seems
Will you be there tomorrow

Will you be there beside me
As time goes on by
And be there to hold me
Whenever I cry
Will you be there to guide me
All the way through, I wonder will you

Walk by my side, and follow my dreams...

Another personal favorite is a song by Joshua Kadison:

"Beautiful in My Eyes"

You're my peace of mind in this crazy world.
You're everything I've tried to find, your love is a pearl.
You're my Mona Lisa, you're my rainbow skies,
and my only prayer is that you realize
you'll always be beautiful in my eyes.

The world will turn and the seasons will change,
and all the lessons we will learn, will be beautiful and strange.
We'll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs.
My only prayer is that you realize
you'll always be beautiful in my eyes.

You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
that you will always grow more beautiful in my eyes.

When there are lines upon my face from a lifetime of smiles,
and when the time comes to embrace for one long last while,
we can laugh about how time really flies.
We won't say goodbye 'cause true love never dies.
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes.

You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
that you will always grow more beautiful in my eyes.
The passing years will show that you will always grow
ever more beautiful in my eyes.


A bit sad and sappy, maybe, but that's me...There's many more, but those are the first two that popped into my head. I'll let some others share and then I'll revisit the thread...maybe we can create one mean romantic mix after this.

Peace.

I am not really into love songs but Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol is a great song

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

[starcrossed]

Wow my favorite love song? I have more than one....'Somebody' by Depeche Mode.....'At Last' by Etta James...'If I Were Your Woman' by Gladys Knight & The Pips.... and 'Open Arms' by Journey

[dawn]

So many - I love the Fun Lovin' Criminals version of "we have all the time in the world" As Star said, "Somebody" by Depeche mode - "Something" by the Beatles "The way you Are" - Billy Joel and probably about a million other songs.

Song: HEAVEN LYRICS

Performed by: Bryan Adams


Oh - thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free

Now nothin' can take you away from me
We bin down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

Oh - once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down

Ya - nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way

N' baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

I've bin waitin' for so long
For something to arrive
For love to come along

Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
Ya - I'll be standin' there by you

[HY]

The one that can still give me chills is Nights in White Satin by The Moody Blues. I just love Justin Hayward's voice! I'll have to look up the lyrics for that one.

[jillywilly65]

I love "Faithfully" by Journey
and a cheesy song from the 70's "Into the Night" by Benny someone.
I have so many its hard to pick one

This is currently my favorite love song by Blue October

18th Floor Balcony

i close my eyes and i smile
knowing that everything is alright
to the core so close that door
is this happening?

my breathe is on your hair... i’m unaware
that you opened the blinds and let the city in
god, you held my hand
while we stand... just taking in everything

i knew it from the start
so my arms are open wide
your head is on my stomach
and we're trying so hard not to fall asleep
so here we are
on this 18th floor balcony we're both flying away

we talked about moms and dads
our family pasts
just getting to know where we came from
our hearts were on display for all to see
i can't believe this is happening to me

i raise my hand as if to show you that i was yours
that i was so yours for the taking
i’m so yours for the taking
and that’s when i felt the wind pick up
i grabbed the rail while choking up these words to say
and then you kissed me

i knew it from the start
so my arms are open wide
your head is on my stomach
and we're trying so hard not to fall asleep
here we are
on this 18th floor balcony we're both flying away

i'll try to sleep
to keep you in my dreams
till i can bring you home with me
i'll try to sleep
and when i do i'll keep you in my dreams

Hmmm...Toughie...I think that my top three favourite love songs are the following (using "/"s to denote different lines and "//"s to denote different verses...why? To save space.):

"Cactus" by The Pixies.
"Sitting here/Wishing on a cement floor/Just wishing that/I had just something you wore/I put it on when I go lonely/Will you take off your dress/And send it to me?//I miss your kissin'/And i miss your head/And a letter in your writing/Doesn't mean you're not dead//Just run outside in the desert heat/Make your dress all wet/And send it to me/I miss your soup and I miss your bread/And a letter in your writing/Doesn't mean you're not dead/So spill your breakfast/And drip your wine/Just wear that dress when you dine//So, sitting here wishing/On a cement floor/Just wishing that I had just something you wore/Bloody your hands on a cactus tree/Wipe'em on your dress/And send it to me/Sitting here wishing on a cement floor/Just wishing that I had just something you wore."

"Days" by David Bowie
"Hold me tight/Keep me cool/Going mad/Don't know what to do/Do I need a friend?/Well, I need one now//All the days of my life/All the days of my life/All the days I owe you//All I've done/I've done for me/All you gave/You gave for free/I gave nothing in return/And there's little left of me//All the days of my life/All the days of my life/All the days I owe you//In red-eyed pain I'm knocking on your door again/My crazy brain in tangles/Pleading for your gentle voice/Those storms keep pounding through my head and heart/I pray you'll soothe my sorry soul//All the days of my life/All the days of my life/All the days I owe you/All the days of my life/All the days of my life/All the days I owe you//All the days of my life/All the days of my life/All the days I owe you."

"Death Valley Queen" by Flogging Molly.
"Death valley queen where have you been/Since they crowned you in glory/Filled your head with dreams/But it still goes to show in every desert/There's a rose that's blooming for all to be seen/I remember you well from that town/You did dwell with the face of an angel/In a dump hot as hell/When I asked for a kiss/You kindly dismissed/So I lead my poor heart to the slaughter//Tell me dear what did you fear/I'd do you no wrong though no stranger to sin/So death valley queen go marry your king/Or an old maid you'll end up for certain//Off I did set on my trail of regret/Where I thought of you now in your castle and crown/So I found me a whore with a face just like yours/After several gallons of porter/When I awoke, she had scarpered I was broke/Laying cold in the bed with a whale for a head/So death valley queen go marry your king/Or an old maid you'll end up for certain//Then the ball dropped why everything fell by the way/As your teardrops were falling I forgot to say/That I have always loved you/Yeah I have always loved you/Yeah I/Yeah I/I have always loved you//When I returned downtrodden and burned/There were billy goats grazing/Where once you'd be found/So I hung out to dry/On this limb for a lie/Take me back for I'm cursed on the mainland//Tell me dear what did you fear/I'd do you no wrong though no stranger to sin/So death valley queen go marry your king/Or an old maid you'll end up for certain/I said death valley queen go marry your king/And a-roving I'll end up for certain."

[FlyIntoOblivion]

Melissa Etheridge's "Come to My Window."

Come To My Window

[CHORUS]

Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
of the moon
Come to my window
I'll be home soon

I would dial the numbers
Just to listen to your breath
I would stand inside my hell
And hold the hand of death
You don't know how far I'd go
To ease this precious ache
You don't know how much I'd give
Or how much I can take

Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Just to reach you

[CHORUS]

Keeping my eyes open
I cannot afford to sleep
Giving away promises
I know that I can't keep
Nothing fills the blackness
That has seeped into my chest
I need you in my blood
I am forsaking all the rest
Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Oh to reach you

[CHORUS]

I don't care what they think
I don't care what they say
What do they know about this
love anyway

[CHORUS]

Or, for something a little darker, Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box," which Cobain wrote about Love, as the first gift she ever gave him was a heart shaped box filled with dolls' heads and sprayed with her perfume.

[greeneyes]

She's Got a Way - Billy Joel

Brings tears to my eyes EVERY time I hear it.

She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her

She's got a way of pleasin'
I don't know what it is
But there doesn't have to be a reason
Anyway

She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me

She's got a way of talkin'
I don't know what it is
But it lifts me up when we are walkin'
Anywhere

She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around

She's got a way of showin'
How I make her feel
And I find the strength to keep on goin'

She's got a light around her
And everywhere she goes
A million dreams of love surround her
Everywhere

She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around

She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me

She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her Anyway

[klees]

Wow, tough to decide, but 2 that come to mind are:

Maybe I'm Amazed by Paul McCartney

Songbird by Fleetwood Mac

[Ayesa86]

Another one I like is "I Would Be Your Slave" by David Bowie.

"Walking in the snowy stream
Let me understand
Drifting down a silent path
Stumbling over land
Open up your heart to me
Show me who you are
And I would be your slave

Do you sleep in quietude?
Do you walk in peace?
Do you laugh out loud at me?
No one else is free
Open up your heart to me
Show me all you are
And I would be your slave

I don't sit and wait
I don't give a damn
I don't see the point at all
No footsteps in the sand

I bet you laugh out loud at me
A chance to strike me down
Give me peace of mind at last
Show me all you are
Open up your heart to me
I will be your slave

I don't sit around and wait
I don't give a damn
I don't see the point at all
No footsteps in the sand

I will give you all my love
Nothing else is free
Open up your heart to me
I would be your slave."

[greeneyes]

klees! I love Maybe I'm Amazed too...

If the lyrics seem simple to you... I assure you the emotions are not.


Maybe I'm Amazed


Baby I’m amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I’m afraid of the way I love you
Baby I’m amazed at the the way you pulled me out of time
Hung me on a line
Maybe I’m amazed at the way I really need you

Baby I’m a man and maybe I’m a lonely man
Who’s in the middle of something
That he doesn’t really understand
Babe I’m a man and maybe you’re the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby won’t you help to me understand

Baby I’m a man and maybe I’m a lonely man
Who’s in the middle of something
That he doesn’t really understand
Babe I’m a man and maybe you’re the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby won’t you help me understand

Baby I’m amazed at the way you’re with me all the time
Maybe I’m afraid of the way I leave you
Baby I’m amazed at the way you help me sing my song
You right me when I’m wrong
Maybe I’m amazed at the way I really need you
