I'm a sucker for heart-melting, sweet, soul moving love songs. Sometimes the music stirs up memories. Other times, a song reminds us of someone who is currently in our lives. Then, there are lines from songs that stay with us...that we tuck away to share with someone who, perhaps, we've yet to meet.
With some help from friends (Yes, I get by with a little help from my friends. Thanks to Celeste, Mark, Grace, the King, Elizabeth, and Tipp!) I've compiled a list of songs with lyrics that set a romantic mood and take your breath away.
"At Last" ~ Etta James
"Little Wing" ~ Eric Clapton's version
"I've Never Loved a Man" ~ Aretha Franklin
"Possession" ~ Sarah McLachlan
"Come Away With Me" ~ Norah Jones

What a list! I'm guessing that if you burned a cd with this music on it and gave it to your honey, you'd be covered in kisses by the end of the first song!
What do you think we're missing?

Great list. I started kissing myself while reading it.
LOL! Good thing you only got that far!
This list is far better than any of those two-disc set compilations as-seen-on-tv for $19.95, plus shipping and handling.
This rocks!
Let's Make Love- Tim McGraw & Faith Hill
Crystal- Stevie Nicks
Underneath Your Clothes- Shakira
Our wedding song is "Everyday" by Dave Matthews Band. :)
Maybe I'm just fond of the title, but forgot Nightingale by Norah Jones.
I'm a Frank Sinatra fan and a friend recently told me that holding hands and kissing were a must for her in a relationship.
on my list is: Fly Me To The Moon
by: Frank Sinatra
Pumpkin Head!
