With Valentine's Day fast approaching, I thought that it would be sweet to post our favourite love songs, whether the romantic kind or any song of love. I do enjoyValentine's Day for it's celebration of love, and I love songs that express that emotion, because it is such a universal theme; song writers know how to hit us in the heart, don't they? There are so many wonderful love songs.
This song by Bryan Adams has such wonderful lyrics, and I love the acoustic version.
beautiful thread, with some beautiful songs you two! I am sure I will think of more over the coming days, but this is one of my favourite love songs....
here is a classics i remember that really touched me from first hearing in my childhood, it is e not one i play at all these days but it strikes me as very beautiful one of a kind love song!
Here it is in A Star Is Born the movie, with Kris Kristofferson
This is beautiful, Lula! I am a great fan of Barbra, thanks for putting this here.
There are so many things I admire about Barbra, she was blessed with that magnificent Voice; and her movies were wonderful, she is a great actress in her own right, not to mention that her comic timing is unsurpassed. Plus she directed, was an outspoken advocate for women, moves to her own music so is considered eccentric, and she never got her face made into a cookie cutter look, like so many others. She was often encouraged to get her nose done, but resisted, wanting to stay herself. And I think she is gorgeous, what a profile! She came to Toronto a few years ago but we could not afford the tickets then, I would love to see her live. But I saw a concert on tv a few years ago where she showed a video of her wedding to James Brolin and sang the song she performed at the wedding. Here it is here. It is lovely.
She heard the music and had the words written to go with it especially for her wedding. Here is a video of the music itself. It is a very beautiful piece, Heart Strings by Secret Garden.
I've dreamed of you Always feeling you We're there And all my life I have searched for you Everywhere I caught your smile In the morning sun I heard your whisper On the breeze of night I prayed one day That your arms Would hold me tight
And just when I thought Love had passed me by We met That first look in your eyes I can't forget You melted me With your tender touch I felt all fear and sorrow Slip away Now here we stand Hand in hand This blessed day
I promise you, as I give to you My heart That nothing, nothing in this world Shall keep us apart Come happily ever after be The man I'll love until the very end I've dreamed of you My great love And my best friend
For God must know How I love you so He's blessed us here today As man and wife Come dream with me As I've dreamed of you All my life Come dream with me As I have dreamed of you All my life
I've Dreamed of You is one of my all time favorite songs. Thing is it makes me sob like no other song. I have the CD this song is on btw......there are several beautiful songs on it.

the only other song i love as much has this is Aerosmith's i dont want to miss a thing am going to have them both at my wedding when i do eventually get married that is has they are my faves will spend the day in tears as when i saw steven tyler sing it live i was crying it was a moment i will never ever forget .
songs have a way of touching a person in a way that have a deep and meaningfull effect that will make a memory last forever through that track and they are definatly theme tracks to my life .
*dissolves in a pool of tears on the floor* these are both very beautiful songs Lady true and cagecrazy!! they touch the heart so immediately..and you have made great choics for your wedding cagecrazy!
this is another clasic love song "Endlesss Love" this version by Mariah Carey and Luther VAndross
Beautiful song, I do love this version. Luther had the most wonderful voice.
How true about music and how it affects our life, cagecrazyminx. Sometimes I'll be listening to the radio and a song will take me unawares and suddenly I become that girl of 15 or 21 again who first heard it then. It is an exciting feeling, I must say, but sadly, it doesn't last.
Speaking of songs that take you back in time, this song always transports me back to when I was a girl. It was a huge hit and my sister had a 45 of it, we played it over and over again. I still love it, she had a very powerful voice. And, it's a great love song!
yes, i am not so into thoee kind of shows ( i dont have tv any more so i couldn't tell you if it is still going ) but she does it brilliantly, it is what she is mainly known for here in the uk! really nice to see her singing thanks for posting the song!
I wanna be your vacuum cleaner Breathing in your dust, I wanna be your Ford Cortina I will never rust, If you like your coffee hot Let me be your coffee pot, You call the shots, I wanna be yours.
I wanna be your raincoat For those frequent rainy days, I wanna be your dreamboat When you want to sail away, Let me be your teddy bear Take me with you anywhere, I don't care I wanna be yours.
I wanna be your electric meter I will not run out, I wanna be the electric heater You'll get cold without, I wanna be your setting lotion Hold your hair in deep devotion, Deep as the deep Atlantic ocean that's how deep is my devotion.
