OT: Silly Love Songs
"You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs. But look around me and I see it isn't so."
-Paul McCartney
So . . . what's YOUR favorite love song? For me: "To Make You Feel My Love" (written by Bob Dylan, preferred versions by Garth Brooks and Billy Joel.)
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I would offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
Know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
Known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There ain't nothing' that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on a rolling sea
And down the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
But you ain't seen nothin' like me yet
There ain't nothin' that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
Make you happy make your dreams come true
To make you feel my love

I am a big sucker for sappy love songs, you name it and I have cried in the dark singing them. I remember singing "Eternal Flame" with my girlfriends in high school. We just thought that was the deepest, most passionate song ever!
But since today is Valentine's Day and tomorrow will be two years with my bf, I will say my favorite love song is "Take it to the limit" by the Eagles. When we first decided that we were really be serious about each other we would lay around and sing this song to each other. I'm not even sure if it is really a "love song" but the part that meant is
You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?
I heard "Born Again" A song by Billy Preston and Sorita In the Mid 70's and decided then and there That it was going to be my wedding song.
Got married 5/5/89. No one rememberd it, but when they heard it, they loved it.
Come bring me your softness,
Comfort me thru all this Madness
Woman don't you know with you, I'm born again.
Come bring me, your sweetness,
Lying here there is no weakness,
Lying safe within your arms, I'm born again.
It's a lovely song and to this day one of my favorites.
Take care, Julio
Well, I think my wedding song was one of my favorite but I have to say that the words to the ones you all have written seem to be very meaningful.
I also got married in 1989 and our song was "I'll Always Love You" by Taylor Dane. I don't think one verse is better than another, just love the entire song!

Awwww you little sap! ;) I am too -
Our official wedding song was All my Life by Linda Rondstadt and Aaron Neville -
Am I really here in your arms?
It's just like I dreamed it would be,
Feel like I'm frozen in time,
your the only one I can see
but I really love the song on my wedding video - Don't know much......
Don't know much,
But I know I love you
and that may be all I need to know
But I also love the final song on my wedding video - it's probably my all time favorite love song.......Here and Now by Luther Vandross
When I look in your eyes
There I see
Just what you mean to me
