I am playing some music on my computer and one of my favorite songs is 'Could I have this dance' by Anne Murray. It is just a beautiful songs that tells of people that feel right together and want to be together for the rest of their lives. Nothing fancy, nothing exciting. And the beat is just right to hold someone and dance slow. And Anne Murray has this beautiful rich voice... So tell me, what is your favorite romantic song and why?

My Favorite romantic song is "God Bless The Broken Road" by: Rascall Flats. I love that song because it tell's about how you go through life and make so many wrong choices until you finally find the right person...Its a beautiful song..

You are right, the lyrics are very nice. You have to kiss a lot of frogs until you find your prince. There is more than one way to say that.

Hope Floats by Garth Brooks It's a beautiful song & I love the movie of the same name staring Sandra Bullock & Harry Connick Jr Cross My Heart by George Strait From the movie Pure Country staring George Strait himself. It was a beautiful love story. OMG, I need to pull out my DVD & watch it tonight!!! Wicked Games by Chris Isaack I love this song because my hubby used to play it to me when we first met. We were fighting the feelings that were taking over at the time.

Yes, the song from Hope Floats..is that To Make you feel my love? It is a pretty song and it was a great movie...Harry COnnick Jr certainly makes it enjoyable to watch. George Strait has just a bit to much twang for me. I guess we can't go into these feeling in a g-rated discussion can we-- but it is an interesting sound..rather retro...when was it out...I Don't remember it

I have not thought of a favorite because that would be too hard for me since I iike so many of the good love songs. I do love Could I Have This Dance by Anne Murray also. My youngest daughter used to always say that was going to be her first dance at her wedding with her husband......she didn't know at the time that she would end up marrying a guy who is like her dad and don't dance. They also didn't have a big wedding as he is out of the state and out of the country so much they just had a small ceremony with no dance.

My husband and I also had a very small wedding (JP) and we did not dance. His younger son is getting married in May, he doesn't know this yet, but we are going to dance to it.

You mean there is not one special song that really gets to you? I am not sure if that is good or bad.

One on One by Daryl Hall and Oates. I love this song, esp the saxophone solo, makes me feel romantic and it's so sexy. Kinda like worship for women song. Also, Anyone can See by Irene Cara. Brings back memories of love. Both songs have the coolest lyrics for me, and superb melody for a romantic song.

Yes, One on one, thanks for the reminder, I haven't play that one since January, the sax is sexy..you are so right but than in listening to it, it is talking about tonight and the short term...is that romance or hormones talking. ANyone can see - is a break up song, the poor girl has a broken heart. So sad..but what ever happened to Irene Cara.. she had a nice sound.

I have lots of romantic songs that I love listening to. Most are classics.Classic are amazing. No matter how many time I listen to this, it is always refreshing. My choice for classics are song like Seal it a kiss (Bobby Vinton), Close to you (Carpenters) and Unchained Melody. Modern days songs are awesome too. I like to tune the songs from Celine Dion and Westlife.

He's Polish? I never know that. I listen to Bobby Vinton since I was a kid. My sister and I have wierd tendency to listen to BBC at that time and that not even our local station, we just found it by mistake, that's how we first listen to the song. Seal It With A Kiss is our all time favourite. Carpenters are awesome. They made great songs. I don't know about connection with prison and Unchanged Melody but everytime I listen to the song, I remember Ghost. Westlife are UK group. You can find lots of beautiful songs from them.

i have three favorite romantic songs and the first one is steven curtis chapman's " i will be here" because i made this song very popular here in the philippines, i use to work with a music company and i promised my former girlfriend that i will make number one in the country and i did! it became our theme song. the second one is joshua kadison's "beautiful in my eyes" , this the song i always sing to my current girlfriend whom i am living with for the past 3 years already. i like the lyrics of the song so much because it talks about pure and sincere love for someone. and the last one is by eric carmen "isn't it romantic", i just simplu find it nice. and of course, nothing beats the good old standards when it comes to good lovesongs , john coltrane's :my one and only" , comes to mind.

Like you, I like Anne Murray too. Most of her songs are sentimental, meaningful and most of all romantic. Songs like You Needed Me, I Just Fall In Love Again, Could I Have This Dance, Broken Hearted Me are just my favorites where I will repeatedly listen without second consideration and ever get bored or wane with them. Her voice is so melodic, natural, mellow, flawless and effortless. Her music videos are just equally delightful and her singing is just down to earth without any tinge of packaging, masking or some special effect packaging. I must single out her hit song Just Another Woman In Love, where it is my all time favorite. This songs speaks a lot about me especially my love life. I would recommend you to have a go with it as the tune is exquisitely romantic and inspirational. The lyrics is just meaningful and about me - Strong, in control and living a life believing life is like a package I hold in my hand. But when I fall in love, I am like a kid just out of school, fire out of control, just another fool and I cannot wait for my man's loving touch again. Simply a beautiful and meaningful song, another Anne Murray's signature I must say. So, if you have not listen to this one, then my best advice here is don't miss it.

I like Ronan Keating's "If Tomorrow Never Comes". I have it in my computer and in my mobile phone. I love the melody and the lyrics remind us not to delay showing our love to our special someone and keep on reminding them that we love them. Gosh... your thread made me play the song again.

I actually have two favorite romantic songs that get me all mushy. The first one is Save the Best for Last by Vanessa Williams. It's just so simple and sweet that it gets me everytime. The other song is from the movie Chances Are with Robert Downey Jr. and Cybill Shepherd. The song is After All sung by Peter Cetera and Cher. The song is basically about fate and how if your meant to be with someone it will happen.

I like the song My Story by Belinda Carlisle. I think she is a former member of the 80s band The Go-Gos. It's not exactly the usual dance material, but it speaks to me. I also like the Brad Paisley song We Danced. Now that song you can certainly slow dance to. It gets me every time.

I love listening to romantic songs. I like the Corrs their songs are great although some of their songs are mending a broken heart. I like the voice of the lead vocalist there Andrea. I hope that they going to release a new album. I'm looking forward for that.
