Favorite love song?
The one that speaks to your heart?

Mine is "At Last" by Etta James.

5. Yep, I remember
Sang it at a friend's wedding.

I really like his song (not sure of the title) that has the line "What I'll give you since you asked, is all my time together."

7. I love that song.
So pretty.

Longer than there’ve been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there’ve been stars up in the heavens
I’ve been in love with you.

Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you.

I’ll bring fires in the winters
You’ll send showers in the springs
We’ll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings.

Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
I’ll be in love with you.

Longer than there’ve been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there’ve been stars up in the heavens
I’ve been in love with you
I am in love with you..

6. Joan Armatrading's "Lover's Speak."
It's even better than my own "I Remember Jessie."

8. Good one.
I always loved that song. I also love In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel and Lover Lay Down by Dave Matthews Band.

11. Look What Love Has Done
where once the moon was just a rock spinning in the sky
where once the stars were only tiny points of light
now the moon looks like it's heaven's shining pearl
now the stars - they look like windows into another world

look what love has done to me
look what love has done
there's poetry in all I see
look what love has done
and my heart is dancing through each day
my soul is running free
look what love has done to me

~snip second verse~

and I can't tell --
was that a violin, or did you say something?
did lightning strike me where I stand,
or did you just reach out and take my hand?

look what love has done to me . . .

:loveya:

13. Attics of My Life - Grateful Dead
We had our "first dance" at our wedding to this:



In the attics of my life
Full of cloudy dreams unreal
Full of tastes no tongue can know
And lights no eye can see
When there was no ear to hear
You sang to me

I have spent my life
Seeking all that's still unsung
Bent my ear to hear the tune
And closed my eyes to see
When there were no strings to play
You played to me

In the book of love's own dream
Where all the print is blood
Where all the pages are my days
And all my lights grow old
When I had no wings to fly
You flew to me

You
flew
to me

In the secret space of dreams
Where I dreaming lay amazed
When the secrets all are told
And the petals all unfold
When there was no dream of mine
You dreamed of me

15. Righteous Brothers
Girl, I can't let you do this
Let you walk away
Girl, how can I live through this
When you're all I wake up for each day?

Baby, you're my soul and my heart's inspiration
You're all I've got to get me by
You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
Without you baby, what good am I?

I never had much goin'
But at least I had you
How can you walk out knowin'
I ain't got nothin' left if you do?

Baby, you're my soul and my heart's inspiration
You're all I've got to get me by
You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
Without you baby, what good am I, oh what good am I?

Baby, I can't make it withoutcha. And I'm, I'm tellin' ya, honey-you're my
reason for laughin', for cryin', for livin', and for dyin'.

Baby, I can't make it without you
Please, I'm begging you baby
If you go it will kill me
I swear it, Dear, my love can't bear it

You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
You're all I've got to get me by
You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
Without you baby, what good am I, what good am I?
