Since hearing Beautiful South's rendition of it last week I've decided that Islands in the Stream is one of my favourite love songs:

I Honestly Love You by Olivia Newton-John.

'Sometimes when we touch' by Dan Hill is my very favourite but 'Your Song' by Elton John is 'our song'.

There are lots of lovely sloppy country songs and I, too, like 'Islands in the Streams' but the Dolly Parton and Kenny Rodgers version is my favourite!

Time after Time by Cindi Lauper- heartbreaking!!

Kitty love Sometimes when we touch by Rod Stewart. The later version seems to have been sung to his child getting married.

Not heard that Nonnie. I have to say it's the words that get me but I'm now going to search for Rod Stewart's version because his voice is fantastic.

"We've Got Tonight" is the best one night stand love song wink

Shania Twain's "Still the one" is my favourite.

kittylester Sat 12-Jul-14 10:24:45

Yep, nonnie you are right!

'Evergreen'. Babara Striesand. 'She' Charles Aznavour

Sarah; Bob Dylan [Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands]. At least I think it's a love song, even though they're no longer together.

What a treat, Tegan. I never knew that about the song.

Agus Sat 12-Jul-14 10:53:35

Ae Fond Kiss. The latest version I have heard is sung by Eddi Reader. Beautiful words.

Good to hear of another Charles Aznavour, She fan Annie. We were slated on another song thread recently grin

It's all about love grin

Something - George Harrison, Just The Way You Are - Billy Joel, Days Like These - Matt Monro.

Grannyknot; it cheered me up somewhat, with my own marriage falling apart, that someone can write a song about someone in that way only for that relationship to not last. But just imagine someone writing about you like that. wow!!

HollyDaze Sat 12-Jul-14 11:05:06

Same as Gagagran - I really like that song.

merlotgran Sat 12-Jul-14 11:08:09

Does anyone else love Jeff Lynne's version of 'She'?

That's lovely, Merlot. I've always liked ELO but not heard that one before.

harrigran Sat 12-Jul-14 11:15:29

Autumn leaves by Nat King Cole.

Agus Sat 12-Jul-14 11:19:21

Another close favourite. My Love Is Like A Red, Red Rose

And I will love thee still my dear
'til all the seas gang dry

My husband made me a "mixed cassette tape" with this song when we had just met and it took my mother to tell me "Er, I think that's meant as a message for you". Still melts my heart:

(Steve Forbert - I'm in Love With You).

Beautiful piano playing also melts my heart.

Agus Sat 12-Jul-14 11:28:08

Oh Merlot! That hit the spot

Harri that was my Father's favourite song so I can't help but love it too.

Anyone else in a mess yet? My eyes seem to be a little moist at the moment.

Some great songs there. But the one which reduces me to a quivering, sobbing wreck is "Everything I do, I do it for you" sung by Bryan Adams.
This song played a huge part in my big romance and I can't hear it without going right back there into all that emotion, drama, passion, soaring heights, desperate lows, love, hate, jealousy.
Gosh. How did I ever endure all that?????

(I too love Charles Aznavour. - She. also - Yesterday when I was young.
Don't care who slates us for loving him... Each to his own).
