Favourite love songs

I give you the morning & My lady's a wild flying dove, both by Tom Paxton. Both songs written for his wife!

I'll echo what Grannyknot said above - quite a journey through old and new love songs.

I wonder if grannyknot still isn't

Loads and loads of the older ones and some of those lovely ones mentioned above. I love 'How Deep is your Love' by the Bee Gees and a more modern one 'All of Me Loves All of You' by John Legend.

'Tonight' from West Side Story.

'All I have to do is Dream', the Everley Brothers

My Love by Paul McCartney. Only my love has the other key, to me.

"God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys.

"High Sierra" by Boz Scaggs never fails to bring tears to my eyes.

Kathy's Song, Simon and Garfunkel.
'The only truth I know is you'

Thanks everyone for indulging me on this thread

This thread has taken me on a trail and I've enjoyed listening to the "old songs" so much. Here's another special one by Patsy Cline:

maggie you've reminded me now of the Beach Boys "Wouldn't it be nice if we were older, and we didn't have to wait so long". How times have changed.

I;m with marmight and Roberta Flack 'First time Ever I saw your Face' but it was Good Vibrations playing when DH and I met!

Suzanne - Leonard Cohen

God Only Knows by The Beach Boys. Though not a promising start - I may not always love you....

Love me Tender by Elvis Presley. Blanket on the Ground - Billy Jo Speers version

Best of my Love - The Eagles.

Tricia; there's something about the mention of the children playing on the beach that tears at my heartstrings [I can close my eyes and still see them] and the words 'loving you is something I'll never regret' . They do say that Dylans lyrics are on a parr with the best poets, and I can't disagree.

Lady in Red - it said it all at the time ...

Same as you Tegan, on page one.
I also have fond memories of the Carpenters, We've Only Just Begun, exactly right for the start of our relationship.

Just one more kiss by Richard Chamberlain. In fact anything by Richard
Chamberlain. I've still got is LP and its virtually playing both sides at once!!!

rosequartz, Willie Nelson is my favourite singer, I also like his version of ' you don't know me' and 'blue eyes crying in the rain'

Annie that will always be poignant.

I love 'You were always on my mind' by Willie Nelson

Also love 'Annie's Song' although I am not an Annie
and 'Love me Tender' by Elvis

Adore listening to Dusty, thank you janerowena

For my first ex and me..................."They're coming to take me away Haha" by Napoleon X1V.

Says it all really!!

For me "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers.

For ex and me "Cupid" by Sam Cooke.

Oh Annie, how awful for you. [virtualhug]

Dusty Springfield of course sang an anglicised version of 'Ne me quitte pas', 'If you go away', lyrics by Rod Mckuen who also did a (pretty horrible)version of it as did many others, but Dusty's one was the only one I liked. I must listen to Edith Piaf ( my mother had quite a few of her records) and Barb Jungr.

Jacques Brel wrote it for his long-term girlfriend (so I was told by a French boyfriend) when he got her pregnant and left her when he discovered it, as she refused a termination. He already had a wife and children, she raced back to Belgium, and the girlfriend lost her job as a very popular tv presenter because it caused such a scandal. He tried to get her back but she refused. You can just imagine how happy his wife must have been with the song!

So here is Dusty
