My favorite romantic song lyric is from "Northern Sky" by Nick Drake.

It's been a long time that I'm waiting
Been a long time that I'm blown
been a long time that I've wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new mind's eye.

    When I was younger man I hadn't a care
    Foolin' around, hitting the town, growing my hair
    You came along and stole my heart when you entered my life
    Ooh babe you got what it takes so I made you my wife

    Since then I never looked back
    It's almost like living a dream
    And ooh I love you

    You came along from far away and found me here
    I was playin' around, feeling down, hittin' the beer
    You picked me up from off the floor and gave me a smile
    You said you're much too young, your life ain't begun, let's walk for awhile

    And as my head was spinnin' 'round
    I gazed into your eyes
    And thought ooh I want you

    Thank you babe for being a friend
    And shinin' your light in my life
    'cause ooh I need you

    As my head was comin' round
    I gazed into your eyes
    And thought ooh I want you

    Thanks again for being my friend
    And straightenin' out my life
    'cause ooh I need you

    Since then I never looked back
    It's almost like livin' a dream
    Ooh I got you

    If ever a man had it all
    It would have to be me
    And ooh I love you

    "Little Moments"

    Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard
    That pretty mouth say that dirty word
    And I can't even remember now what she backed my truck into
    But she covered her mouth and her face got red
    And she just looked so darn cute
    That I couldn't even act like I was mad
    Yeah I live for little moments like that

    Well that's just like last year on my birthday
    She lost all track of time and burnt the cake
    And every smoke detector in the house was goin' off
    And she was just about to cry until I took her in my arms
    And I tried not to let her see me laugh
    Yeah I live for little moments like that

    I know she's not perfect but she tries so hard for me
    And I thank god that she isn't 'cause how boring would that be
    It's the little imperfections it's the sudden change in plans
    When she misreads the directions and we're lost but holdin' hands
    Yeah I live for little moments like that

    When she's layin' on my shoulder on the sofa in the dark
    And about the time she falls asleep so does my right arm
    And I want so bad to move it 'cause it's tinglin' and it's numb
    But she looks so much like an angel that I don't wanna wake her up
    Yeah I live for little moments
    When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it
    Yeah I live for little moments like that
    1. Stillthinking
      I love these lyrics. So personal. I think it speaks to what so many people experience in their day to day lives with someone they love. It's not grand expressions or dramatic moments, but just living life together. Thank you for sharing!

    Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
    I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
    I fell right through the cracks
    Now I'm trying to get back
    Before the cool done run out
    I'll be giving it my bestest
    And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
    I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

    I won't hesitate no more, no more
    It cannot wait, I'm yours

    Well open up your mind and see like me
    Open up your plans and damn you're free
    Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
    Listen to the music of the moment babay sing with me
    We're just one big family
    And It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

    So I won't hesitate no more, no more
    It cannot wait I'm sure
    There's no need to complicate
    Our time is short
    This is our fate, I'm yours

    Scooch on over closer dear
    And i will nibble your ear

    I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
    And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
    But my breath fogged up the glass
    And so I drew a new face and laughed
    I guess what I'm be saying is there ain't no better reason
    To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
    It's what we aim to do
    Our name is our virtue

    But I won't hesitate no more, no more
    It cannot wait I'm yours

    Well open up your mind and see like me
    Open up your plans and damn you're free
    Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
    Please don't, please don't, please don't
    There's no need to complicate
    Cause our time is short
    This oh this this is out fate, I'm yours!

      I'm impressed Benny. Do you have all these running round in your head?

      I'm struggling to remember all the lyrics for just one song.

      Ummm - in the case of those three - they are "in my head" I can easily give you two more! - at least

      Hi benny! I love the song IM YOURS by Jason Mraz too! I'm planning to play this on my wedding day!

    Moondance by Van Morrison would be up there for me. I'm already starting to sing it.... Good job there's no sound on this
    1. Stillthinking
      I have to say Into the Mystic by Van Morrison is my favorite from his wonderful collection of songs.

      We were born before the wind
      Also younger than the sun
      Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
      Hark, now hear the sailors cry
      Smell the sea and feel the sky
      Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

    There are many good songs with good romantic lyrics. Four of my favorites:
    Kingdom Come (Coldplay)
    Please Forgive Me (David Gray)
    Joga (Bjork)
    Have I told you Lately (Van Morrison)
    1. Stillthinking
      Let's not forget The Scientist or Yellow by Coldplay.

      Look at the stars! Look how they shine for you!

      I am sucker for nature references and love.

    Some say love it is a river
    that drowns the tender reed
    Some say love it is a razor
    that leaves your soul to bleed

    Some say love it is a hunger
    an endless aching need
    I say love it is a flower
    and you it's only seed

    It's the heart afraid of breaking
    that never learns to dance
    It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance
    It's the one who won't be taken
    who cannot seem to give
    and the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

    When the night has been too lonely
    and the road has been too long
    and you think that love is only
    for the lucky and the strong
    Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
    lies the seed
    that with the sun's love
    in the spring
    becomes the rose

    and another
    First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Roberta Flack
    www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI7gzXz1cHo


    The first time ever I saw your face
    I thought the sun rose in your eyes
    And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
    To the dark and the empty skies, my love,
    To the dark and the empty skies.

    The first time ever I kissed your mouth
    And felt your heart beat close to mine
    Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
    That was there at my command, my love
    That was there at my command.

    And the first time ever I lay with you
    I felt your heart so close to mine
    And I knew our joy would fill the earth
    And last till the end of time my love
    It would last till the end of time my love

    The first time ever I saw your face, your face,
    your face, your face
    1. Stillthinking
      This is a classic song and I think one of the greatest love songs ever written. Thank you for posting this!

    How about this one...

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBfcBVt6Etk

    she's got eyes that cut you like a
    Knife and
    Lips that taste like sweet red wine
    And pretty legs go to heaven every time
    She got a gentle way that puts me at ease
    When she walks in the room i can hardly breathe
    Got a devastating smile knock a grown man to his knees

    She's got whatever it is
    It blows me away
    She's everything i wanted to say to a woman
    But couldn't find the words to say
    She's got whatever it is
    I don't know what to do
    Because every time i try and tell her how i feel
    It comes out "i love you"
    You got whatever it is

    You know i've never been the type that would ever want to
    Stay
    Bring 'em home at night and they're gone the next day
    But that all changed when she walked into my life
    People ask me what it is
    I tell them i don't know
    Just something about the woman makes my heart go haywire
    She's gonna be my wife

    She's got whatever it is
    It blows me away
    She's everything i wanted to say to a woman
    But couldn't find the words to say
    She's got whatever it is
    I don't know what to do
    Because every time i try and tell her how i feel
    It comes out "i love you"
    You got whatever it is

    When she loves me
    Girl that's how i feel
    When she loves me i'm on top of the world
    Because when she loves me i can live forever
    When she loves me i am untouchable

    She's got whatever it is
    It blows me away
    She's everything i wanted to say to a woman
    But couldn't find the words to say
    She's got whatever it is
    I don't know what to do
    Because every time i try and tell her how i feel
    It comes out "i love you"
    You got whatever it is

    I don't know why but I always melt for "She's Always a Woman" by Billy Joel.

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgDwJ2d7BpM&feature=related

    I miss the sound of your voice
    And I miss the rush of your skin
    And I miss the still of the silence
    As you breathe out and I breathe in

    If I could walk on water
    If I could tell you what's next
    make you believe
    make you forget

    So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
    Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
    Just pull me down hard
    And drown me in love
    So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
    Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
    Just pull me down hard
    And drown me in love

    I miss the sound of your voice
    The loudest thing in my head
    And I ache to remember
    All the violent, sweet
    Perfect words that you said

    If I could walk on water
    If I could tell you what's next
    make you believe
    make you forget

    So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
    Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
    Just pull me down hard
    And drown me in love
    So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
    Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
    Just pull me down hard
    And drown me in love

    I miss the pull of your heart
    I taste the sparks on your tongue
    I see angels and devils
    And God, when you come on
    Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

    Sing sha la la la
    Sing sha la la la la

    So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
    Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
    Just pull me down hard
    And drown me in love
    So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
    Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
    Just pull me down hard
    And drown me, drown me in love

    So wrong, so wrong,
    so right
    So come on, get higher
    Come on, get higher
    'Cause everything works, love
    Everything works in your arms

    You are such a romantic! All of your posts have been wonderful.

    It's funny, I love romantic songs and I am a huge sap. But I have had dates where men have tried to sing me romantic songs or read me poetry and it always makes me twitch a little. I think you need to have great history or share a great love to make romantic songs truly meaningful.
    1. BennyGreenberg
      I can tell you - that these songs and a hand few more have a tremendous meaning... And you are very right - It is not so much the great history as the great "in love" - "soul mate" thing - where songs hold the EXACT meaning to the two people - all of those songs hold identical meanings for the two who have brought them to each other
  14. inmyredhead
    I will try to let Benny be the thread hog, lol... and will attempt to refrain from offering too many, but my gosh... I certainly understand where he's coming from! There are so many great ones. That being said, I have to just randomly pick a few for now...

    Billy Joel: Shameless


    Well I'm shameless when it comes to loving you
    I'd do anything you want me to
    I'd do anything at all
    And I'm standing here for all the world to see
    There ain't that much left of me
    That has very far to fall

    You know I'm not a man who has ever been
    Insecure about the world I've been living in
    I don't break easy, I have my pride
    But if you need to be satisfied

    I'm shameless, baby I don't have a prayer
    Anytime I see you standing there
    I go down upon my knees

    And I'm changing, I swore I'd never compromise
    But you convinced me otherwise
    I'll do anything you please

    You see in all my life I've never found
    What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down
    I could walk away from anyone I ever knew
    But I can't walk away from you

    I have never let anything have this much control over me
    Cause I worked too hard to call me life my own
    Yes I made myself a world and it worked so perfectly
    But it's your world now, I can't refuse
    I never had so much to lose
    I'm shameless...shameless

    You know it should be easy for a man who's strong
    To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong
    I've never lost anything I ever missed
    But I've never been in love like this...
    It's out of my hands
    I'm shameless, I don't have the power now
    But I don't want it anyhow
    So I've got to let it go

    I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be
    You can make a total fool of me
    I just wanted you to know

    I am shameless
    Shameless...
    Shameless...
  15. inmyredhead
    And one more by him...To make you feel my love

    When the rain is blowing in your face
    And the whole world is on your case
    I could offer you a warm embrace
    To make you feel my love
    When the evening shadows and the stars appear
    And there is no one there to dry your tears
    I could hold you for a million years
    To make you feel my love

    I know you haven't made your mind up yet
    But I would never do you wrong
    I've known it from the moment 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's nothing that I wouldn't do
    To make you feel my love

    The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
    And on the highway of regret
    The winds of change are blowing wild and free
    You ain't seen nothing like me yet

    I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
    Nothing that I wouldn't do
    Go to the ends of the earth for you
    To make you feel my love


    Siiiigh. Now THAT'S love.
    1. Stillthinking
      Now, I get something completely different from that. That's not really love, but unrequited love. I think the song is actually kind of tragic. He is saying he her to know what she's missing and what he would do to make her realize she needs to be with him. It's longing.
    2. inmyredhead
      Yes, it's definitely longing. I can see your point in that.

      But to me, it's more like 'longing' for her to KNOW JUST HOW MUCH he truly does love her. We say 'I love you' all the time. But sometimes ya need to let someone know... 'No, seriously... I REALLY REALLY do! And I wish you could only know how much you mean to me.'

      I guess it's in the line... 'I know you haven't made your mind up yet...'

      The meaning it has to me is that when it's hard to love or trust, it helps to know the extent of someones feelings. So he's just wanting to let her know in a way that she can have no doubts. Not so much that she doesn't love him back... she may very well feel the same, she's just unsure of HIS feelings.

      Oh.. I dunno. Love is complicated!
    3. Stillthinking
      I definitely think some of the greatest long songs can be about heartbreak or longing. Great choice!

    If heartbreak songs can be considered romantic songs,
    I love "All My Little Words" by the Magnetic Fields.

    But I can never make you stay!
  21. inmyredhead
    Ok, here's one I bet very few if any of you have heard. This has been probably one of my all time forever favorites since forever....

    It's a beautifully sung sweet song by Sheena Easton: I wouldn't beg for water


    I make friends, I make enemies, it doesn't matter all that much to me
    I'm not the kind who deals behind the scenes
    I won't sell my soul, I'd be nothing without some integrity

    Chorus:
    I wouldn't beg for water, I wouldn't beg for water
    If my soul was on fire, that's the last thing I would ever do
    I wouldn't beg for water, I wouldn't beg for water
    If my soul was on fire, but I'd get down on my knees for you

    I've got pride, it's not the foolish kind
    Don't owe people favours, that's my peace of mind
    I don't know why I deserve someone like you
    But you're my one and only sole exception to all my rules

    chorus

    Real love is hard to find, as holding back the sands of time
    And time can't change my life as much as you

    I wouldn't beg for water, I wouldn't beg for water
    If my soul was on fire, you know me well enough to know it's true
    I wouldn't beg for water, I wouldn't beg for water
    (If my soul was on fire), but I'd get down on my knees for you

    I find that I get more attached to tiny snippets of songs than entire songs themselves. One of my favorites is from James Taylor's Suite for 20G: "I've been trying hard to find a way to let you know that we can make it shine most all the time."

    Tim Mcgraw: Don't Take The Girl

    Don't Take The Girl lyrics
    Johnny's daddy was taking him fishin'
    When he was eight years old
    A little girl came through the front gate holding a fishing pole
    His dad looked down and smiled, said we can't leave her behind
    Son, I know you don't want her to go but someday you'll change your mind
    And Johnny said "Take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson, take my best friend Bo
    Take anybody that you want as long as she don't go
    Take any boy in the world
    Daddy, please don't take the girl

    Same old boy
    Same sweet girl
    Ten years down the road
    He held her tight and kissed her lips
    In front of the picture show
    Stranger came and pulled a gun
    Grabbed her by the arm Said "If you do what I tell you to, there
    won't be any harm" And Johnny said "Take my money, take my wallet, take my credit cards
    Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
    Here's the key to my car
    Mister give it a whirl
    But please don't take the girl

    Same old boy
    Same sweet girl
    Five years down the road
    There's going to be a little one, and she says it's time to go
    Doctor says the baby's fine but you'll have to leave
    'Cause his momma's fading fast and Johnny hit his knees
    And there he prayed
    Take the very breath you gave me
    Take the heart from my chest
    I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me
    Make this my last request
    Take me out of this world
    God, please don't take the girl

    Tim McGraw: My Best Friend

    I never had no one that I could count on
    I've been let down so many times
    I was tired of hurtin'
    So tired of searchin'
    Til you walked into my life

    It was a feelin' I'd never known
    And for the first time, I didn't feel alone

    You're more than a lover
    There could never be another
    To make me feel the way you do
    Oh, we just get closer
    I fall in love all over
    Everytime I look at you

    I don't know where I'd be
    Without you here with me
    Life with you makes perfect sense
    You're my best friend
    You're my best friend, oh yeah

    You stand by me
    And you believe in me
    Like nobody ever has
    When my world goes crazy
    You're right there to save me
    You make me see how much I have
    And I still tremble when we touch
    And oh the look in your eyes
    When we make love

    You're more than a lover
    There could never be another
    To make me feel the way you do
    Oh, we just get closer
    I fall in love all over
    Everytime I look at you

    I don't know where I'd be
    Without you here with me
    Life with you makes perfect sense
    You're my best friend

    You're my best friend

    You're more than a lover
    There could never be another
    To make me feel the way you do
    Oh, we just get closer
    I fall in love all over
    Everytime I look at you

    I don't know where I'd be
    Without you here with me
    Life with you makes perfect sense
    You're my best friend

    You're my best friend
    You're my best friend

    The Smiths - There is a Light that Never Goes out

    And if a double-decker bus
    Crashes into us
    To die by your side
    Is such a heavenly way to die
    And if a ten-ton truck
    Kills the both of us
    To die by your side
    Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

    Woman - John Lennon

    Woman, I can hardly express.
    My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
    After all I'm forever in your debt.
    And woman, I will try to express,
    My inner feelings and my thankfulness
    For showing me the meaning of success...

    Woman, I know you understand
    The little child inside your man.
    Please remember my life is in your hands.
    And woman, hold me close to your heart.
    How ever distance will keep us apart.
    After all it is written in the stars...

    Woman please let me explain,
    I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain.
    So let me tell you again and again and again,
    I love you... now and forever...

    Howie Day : Collide

    The dawn is breaking
    A light shining through
    You're barely waking
    And I'm tangled up in you, yeah

    I'm open, you're closed
    Where I follow, you'll go
    I worry I won't see your face
    Light up again

    Even the best fall down sometimes
    Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
    Out of the doubt that fills my mind
    I somehow find you and I collide

    I'm quiet you know
    You make a first impression
    I've found I'm scared to know
    I'm always on your mind

    Even the best fall down sometimes
    Even the stars refuse to shine
    Out of the back you fall in time
    I somehow find you and I collide

    Don't stop here
    I lost my place
    I'm close behind

    Even the best fall down sometimes
    Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
    Out of the doubt that fills your mind
    You finally find you and I collide

    You finally find you and I collide
    You finally find you and I collide

    I love this song! Also like Jason Mraz "I'm yours" and "You and I both"

    I just love that song by Lionel Richie :

    I've been alone with you inside my mind
    And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
    I sometimes see you pass outside my door
    Hello, is it me you're looking for?

    I can see it in your eyes
    I can see it in your smile
    You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
    'Cause you know just what to say
    And you know just what to do
    And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...

    I long to see the sunlight in your hair
    And tell you time and time again how much I care
    Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
    Hello, I've just got to let you know

    'Cause I wonder where you are
    And I wonder what you do
    Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
    Tell me how to win your heart
    For I haven't got a clue
    But let me start by saying, I love you ...

    Hike up your skirt a little more,
    And show your world to me.

    Oh, and You Remain, Willie (and I'm more of an alt fan!)

    What do you do with the sands of time
    When they carve out lines around your eyes
    I can close my fists up good and tight
    But I cant hold back the sands of time

    What do you do with a memory
    That just hangs around and stares at me
    I can tear that frame down off the wall
    But it wont erase the things I saw

    Night and day
    Night and day
    You remain
    You remain

    What do you do with old regrets
    Theres a box full underneath the bed
    Just close enough not to forget
    But do what do you do with old regrets

    Theres old house key in a kitchen drawer
    To the door I cant unlock no more
    Sometimes I hold that key real tight
    But what do you do after goodbye

    Night and day
    Night and day
    You remain
    You remain

    I happen to like this brief aria:

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ty7uYNX5geg

    O Dieu de quelle ivresses embrases tu mon âme?
    Comme un concert divin ta voix me pénêtre;
    D'un feu doux et brulant mon être est dévoré;
    Tes regards dans les miens ont épanché leur flamme
    Comme des astres radieux
    Et je seus, ô mon bien aimée,
    Passer ton haleine embaumée
    Sur mes lèvres et sur mes yeux.


    Translation:

    Oh God, with what rapture my soul is burning?
    Your voice has penetrated me like divine music,
    My being is devoured with a gently burning fire,
    Your eyes have poured their flames into mine,
    like radiant stars.
    And I feel, my beloved
    Your perfumed breath caressing
    Over my lips and my eyes.
  38. ArsenicCookies
    every breath you breathe deep, I feel you circulating through me

    Nothing's gonna change my love for you,
    you wanna know my love how much I love you?
    One thing you can be sure of-
    I'll never ask for more than your love

    I have to mention my favorite song in the whole world, it is in Spanish but I wrote a (bad) translation.

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhvy56lZkQ8

    Miguel Bosé: Te amaré

    Con la paz de las montañas te amaré
    con locura y equilibrio te amaré,
    con la rabia de mis años, como me enseñaste a ser
    con un grito en carne viva te amaré.

    En secreto y en silencio te amaré
    arriesgando en lo prohibido te amaré
    en lo falso y en lo cierto, con el corazón abierto
    por ser algo no perfecto te amaré.

    Te amaré, te amaré
    como no está permitido
    te amaré, te amaré
    como nunca se ha sabido...
    porque así lo he decidido te amaré.

    Por ponerte algún ejemplo te diré
    que aunque tengas manos frías te amaré
    con tu mala ortografía y tu no saber perder
    con defectos y manías te amaré.

    Te amaré, te amaré
    porque fuiste algo importante
    te amaré, te amaré
    cuando ya no estés presente...
    seguirá siendo costumbre y te amaré.

    Al caer de cada noche esperaré
    a que seas luna llena y te amaré
    y aunque queden pocos restos en señal de lo que fue
    seguirás cerca y muy dentro, te amaré.

    Te amaré, te amaré
    a golpe de recuerdo
    te amaré, te amaré
    hasta el último momento...
    a pesar de todo siempre te amaré.
    -------

    Translation:

    With the peace of the mountains
    I will love you
    with craziness and balance
    I will love you
    with the rage of my years, how you thought me to be
    with a scream in bare flesh
    I will love you

    In secret and in silence
    I will love you
    in the edge of the forbidden
    I will love you
    in lies and truth, with my heart open
    because you are something imperfect,
    I will love you

    I will love you, I will love you
    because is not allowed,
    I will love you, I will love you
    like no-one has ever done it,
    because I decided so, I will love you

    As an example, I will tell you,
    that even if you have cold hands, I will love you
    with your bad orthography and your "I-never-lose"
    with your defects and manias, I will love you

    I will love you, I will love you
    because you were important,
    I will love you, I will love you
    even after you are gone,
    it will still be a habit, I will love you

    Every nightfall I will wait,
    until you are a full moon and
    I will love you.
    Even if there is very little left,
    as a sign of what it was,
    you will be still close and deep inside
    I will love you

    I will love you, I will love you
    as a punch of a memory,
    I will love you, I will love you
    until the very last moment,
    despite everything, I will love you
