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
