Popular songs about love

Angel Blue by Green Day - lyric quote:

So many amazing songs here. Nights in White Satin and Forever Autumn are a couple of favourites. Used to cover my school books with pictures of Justin Hayward and John Lodge with pictures from Jackie.

Loving You, by Minnie Riperton is a lovely one. And pretty much anything by the BeeGees.

Anyone remember ‘Could It Be Forever”. By David Cassidy ?

Catch the Wind, Donovan.

I drove all night, by Roy Orbison, and time after time by Cyndi Lauper.

Also Woman In Love by Barbra Streisand and the theme from Love Story by Andy Williams.

Oh oh! And Somethings got a hold of my heart. I love the Gene Pitney/Marc Almond version.
