Your ONE all time favorite love song?


For me it's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" by Roberta Flack, from her CD "Softly with These Songs, the Best of Roberta Flack", on Atlantic. I'm looking for LOVE SONGS. Thanks and Cheers. Craig

I thought about a response before I opened the thread and there, at the very top, was the one that first came to my mind.
Now I have to think of another.
Nice choice Garfish
Wow, lot's of generations in the mix.

#1 for me (when sober) is "Stand by Me".

Otherwise it would be "You Sexy Thing/Thang" by Hot Chocolate, I think (not very good @ remembering song titles & bands). The lead in is: "I believe in miracles", in the event that I have the title wrong.

"Ghost Riders in the Sky", by Miss Peggy Lee, always makes me horny, but this is not up for further discussion. LOL!

I am also a BIG Jacques Brel fan, but the name of any preferred title escapes me, being language impaired, and I am too lazy to go through our LP's.

Another great sentimental song (other than "As Time Goes By") is the orchestrated music to "Over the Rainbow" (lots of things going on, for the masses (I think) with this tune).
If I had to pick one love song, it would be Mercer's Autumn Leaves. If we are talking about recordings, one of my favorites would be Aquellos Ojos Verdes recorded by Ibrahim Ferrer and the Buena Vista Social Club.
"Love Hurts" sung by Gram Parsons and Emily Lou Harris on his album "Greivious Angel".
