I'll be more than happy to start this off.

Donny Hathaway's cover of "A Song for You"

Billy Joel's "The Longest Time." It's been in my head all week.

"I Don't Want to Get Over You" by The Magnetic Fields

The Lady in Red by Chris de Burgh

"I'll Stop the World and Melt With You," by Modern English

Nothing Compares to "Nothing Compares to You," although it's a pretty depressing love song. So I'll throw out a classic — Elvis' "Falling in Love with You."

Michael Buble's "Everything" is a great one!

Bob Dylan's "Shelter from the Storm."

The Book Of Love - Peter Gabrial...going to be the first dance at my wedding :)

I Believe (When I Fall in Love) by Stevie Wonder. I get chills just thinking about it.

Most definitely..."In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel.

"Brain Damage" - Pink Floyd

"At Last," Etta James

It's a tough decision, but my current favorite is "Hold You In My Arms" by Ray LaMontagne. Or most anything by Van Morrison.

Good one Rachel! I was going to say LaMontagne's "You Are The Best Thing!"

I'll go with some faves from local acts - Bears, "Until the Very End" from Greater Lakes is an upbeat song about finding the love of your life. Very sweet! And of course, no discussion about Cleveland bands can leave out The Black Keys - and maybe this one isn't so much about love, but addiction: "Run Right Back" off El Camino.

Any other favorite songs from local bands?

"True" Spandau Ballet

"Happy Birthday To You." Nothing is more wonderful than being able to celebrate another birthday with the one you love.

I'm gonna date myself but "Close To You" by the Carpenters was one of my favorites

Best love song ever written, IMHO,

Billy Joel's "So It Goes"

"Swept Away" or "January Wedding" by The Avett Brothers. Nothing's more romantic than a banjo and a southern accent.

"Wonderfull Tonight" by Eric Clapton. Simple, elegant and deserving...IMO.

"Love Will Tear Us Apart" -Joy Division

"i love you" by climax blues band!

Could I have this dance? Anne Murray

Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers

Escape by Rupert Holmes

Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magneitc Zeros

Leave your hat on...Joe Cocker

"We Got Love" by Ryan Shaw, or "Say Hey" by Michael Franti & Spearhead is really fun :-)

"Something That We Do" by Clint Black

"Feel like makin love" by Bad Company, circa 1975. I wasn't alive at the time, but I'm sure it was a monster jam.

"Ice Cream" by Sarah MacLachlan.

And we can't forget the '80s slow-dance classic, "Waiting for a Girl Like You" by Foreigner.

Have I told you lately that I love you?

True Companion by Marc Cohn

Amazed by Lone Star. This was our 1st dance at our wedding!

The First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes

Van Morrison's version of "Crazy Love." Played at my wedding.

TobyMac City on our knees.

To Make You Feel My Love, Garth Brooks. The Story of My Life, Neil Diamond. Remember When, Alan Jackson. The Luckiest, Ben Folds and Look What You've Done to Me, Boz Scaggs. Too hard to list just one!!

my first. my last. my everything. barry white... we exited down the aisle at our wedding to this.

"Isn't She Lovely?" Stevie Wonder

Under my thumb....

LOL...ok just kidding....Let's do something like Jamie Cullum's "Not While I'm Around"

I'll throw in another, for ridiculousness sakes':

I've got to throw in a vote for John Legend's "Stay With You" too. Great lyrics, even better melody.

Baby I'm a want you....bread

"Touch Me" by The Doors......doesn't get any better than that.

Samuel Barber's Adagio for strings, op.11 (Leonard Berstein). So beautifully romantic and tragic...it's an experience.
