    Mine is Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes":

    love I get so lost, sometimes
    days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
    when I want to run away
    I drive off in my car
    but whichever way I go
    I come back to the place you are
    all my instincts, they return
    and the grand facade, so soon will burn
    without a noise, without my pride
    I reach out from the inside
    in your eyes
    the light the heat
    in your eyes
    I am complete
    in your eyes
    I see the doorway to a thousand churches
    in your eyes
    the resolution of all the fruitless searches
    in your eyes
    I see the light and the heat
    in your eyes
    oh, I want to be that complete
    I want to touch the light
    the heat I see in your eyes
    love, I don't like to see so much pain
    so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
    I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
    I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
    and all my instincts, they return
    and the grand facade, so soon will burn
    without a noise, without my pride
    I reach out from the inside
    in your eyes
    the light the heat
    in your eyes
    I am complete
    in your eyes
    I see the doorway to a thousand churches
    in your eyes
    the resolution of all the fruitless searches
    in your eyes
    I see the light and the heat
    in your eyes
    oh, I want to be that complete
    I want to touch the light,
    the heat I see in your eyes
    in your eyes in your eyes
    in your eyes in your eyes
    in your eyes in your eyes

    Oh look, there's Pete 2nd from the left in my signature, during his early days as frontman of Genesis, long before he ever wrote this song.​

    [size=+1]I Will[/size]
    by The Beatles

    Who knows how long I’ve loved you.
    You know I love you still.
    Will I wait a lonely lifetime
    If you want me to – I will.
    For if I ever saw you
    I didn’t catch your name.
    But it never really mattered
    I will always feel the same.
    Love you forever and forever.
    Love you with all my heart.
    Love you whenever we’re together.
    Love you when we’re apart.
    And when at last I find you
    Your song will fill the air
    Sing it so loud I can hear.
    Make it easy to be near you
    For the things you do endear you to me
    You know I will.
    I will.

    Stella Blue is my vote - course some would say a song about a man's relationship with a guitar and song isn't truly romantic, but then again those same people maybe never had a personal relationship with music in their life

    All the years combine
    they melt into a dream
    A broken angel sings
    from a guitar
    In the end there's just a song
    comes crying like the wind
    through all the broken dreams
    and vanished years

    Stella Blue


    When all the cards are down
    there's nothing left to see
    There's just the pavement left
    and broken dreams
    In the end there's still that song
    comes crying like the wind
    down every lonely street
    that's ever been

    Stella Blue

    I've stayed in every blue light cheap hotel
    Can't win for trying
    Dust off those rusty strings just
    one more time
    Gonna make em shine

    It all rolls into one
    and nothing comes for free
    There's nothing you can hold
    for very long
    And when you hear that song
    come crying like the wind
    it seams like all this life
    was just a dream

    Stella Blue

    I Know I am setting myself up....

    The Bee Gees

    There's a light
    A certain kind of light
    Thats never shone on me
    I want my life to be lived with you
    Lived with you
    There's a way everybody says
    To do each and every little thing
    But what good does it bring
    If I ain't got you, ain't got ?
    You don't know what it's like, baby
    You don't know what it's like

    To love somebody
    To love somebody
    To love somebody
    The way I love you

    In my brain
    I see your face again
    I know my frame of mind
    You ain't got to be so blind
    And I'm blind, so very blind
    I'm a man, can't you see
    What I am
    I live and breathe for you
    But what good does it do
    If I ain't got you, ain't got you....


    Peace...ruby

    As Time Goes By...
    You must remember this,​
    A kiss is still a kiss, ​
    A sigh is just a sigh. ​
    The fundamental things apply as time goes by.​
    And when two lovers woo,​
    they still say "I love you".​
    On that you can rely.​
    No matter what the future brings​
    As Time Goes By​
    Moonlight and love songs​
    never out of date.​
    Hearts full of passion jealousy and hate.​
    Woman needs Man and Man must have his Mate.​
    On that no one can deny.​
    Its still the same old story,​
    a fight for love and glory.​
    A case of do or die.​
    The world will always welcome lovers​
    As Time Goes By.​
    The song reminds of Battery by Mettalica​

    Crazy Love - Van Morrison

    I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
    And the heaven opens every time she smiles
    And when I come to her, that's where I belong
    I guess I'm running to her like a river's song
    She gives me love, love, love, crazy love
    She gives me love, crazy love
    She's got a fine sense of humour, when I'm feeling down
    And when I come to her when the sun goes down
    She takes away my trouble, takes away my grief
    Takes away my heartache in the night like a thief
    She gives me love, love, love crazy love
    She gives me love, crazy love
    I guess I need her in the daytime
    I guess I need her in the night
    Someone strong to put my arms around her
    I kiss her, kiss her tight
    She gives me love, crazy love
    She gives me love, crazy, crazy love
    A crazy love

    Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Into My Arms.

    I don't believe in an interventionist God
    But I know, darling, that you do
    But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
    Not to intervene when it came to you
    Not to touch a hair on your head
    To leave you as you are
    And if He felt He had to direct you
    Then direct you into my arms

    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms

    And I don't believe in the existence of angels
    But looking at you I wonder if that's true
    But if I did I would summon them together
    And ask them to watch over you
    To each burn a candle for you
    To make bright and clear your path
    And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
    And guide you into my arms

    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms

    And I believe in Love
    And I know that you do too
    And I believe in some kind of path
    That we can walk down, me and you
    So keep your candlew burning
    And make her journey bright and pure
    That she will keep returning
    Always and evermore

    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms


    Special mention also goes to Nick Cave - The Ship Song, Nick Cave - Sweetheart Come and Sade - By Your Side

    Something ​
    by George Harrison​
    Something in the way she moves attracts me like no other lover.​
    Something in the way she woos me.​
    I don't want to leave her now, you know I believe and how.​
    Somewhere in her smile she knows that don't need no other lover.​
    Something in her style that shows me.​
    Don't want to leave her now, you know I believe and how.​
    Your asking me will my love will grow, I don't know, I don't know.​
    You stick around now, it may show, I don't know, I don't know.​
    Something in the way she knows, and all I have to do is think of her.​
    Something in the thing she shows me.​
    I don't want to leave her now, you know I believe and how.​

    The Tubes' version of Captain Beefheart's "My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains":

    I'll let a train be my feet
    If it's too far to walk to you
    If a train don't go there I'll get a jet or a bus
    Because I'm going to find you
    You're going to see my shadow soon around you
    And my head is my only house unless it rains

    I walk the meadow plains
    Water deserts are my eyes until I find you
    I won't sleep until I find you
    I won't eat until I find you
    My heart won't beat until
    I wrap my arms around you

    My arms are just two things in the way
    Until I can wrap them around you
    You can make my sad song happy
    Make a bad world good
    I can feel you out there moving
    You're mine, I know I'll find you
    And my head is my only house until I've found you

    I hate to have other people hear me sing this song
    If this reaches you before I do
    Follow it to "I love you"
    That's where I'll find you
    And my head is my only house until I find you

    Today- Jefferson Airplane
    Today I feel like pleasing you more than before
    Today I know what I want to do but I don't know what for
    To be living for you is all I want to do
    To be loving you it'll all be there when my dreams come true
    Today you'll make me say that I somehow have changed
    Today you'll look into my eyes, I'm just not the same
    To be anymore than all I am would be a lie
    I'm so full of love I could burst apart and start to cry
    Today everything you want, I swear it all will come true
    Today I realize how much I'm in love with you
    With you standing here I could tell the world what it means to love
    To go on from here I can't use words, they don't say enough
    Please, please listen to me
    It's taken so long to come true
    And it's all for you
    all for you....

    "IF I HAD A NOSE FULL OF NICKELS,I"D BLOW 'EM ALL ON YOU."

    Sorry, I couldn't resist....

    But I love "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls,

    The first line is the way I felt about losing Larry for 27 years and soon after that song came out he finally called me...

    "And I'd give up forever to touch you, 'cause I know that you feel me somehow"....

    Jeff Buckley: Lover, Should've come over



    Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
    Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
    My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come

    It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
    It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when i slept so soft against her
    It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
    It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

    Well maybe i'm just too young
    To keep good love from going wrong
    Oh... lover, you should've come over
    'Cause it's not too late

    -His voice makes it even more romantic...

    Wild Horses-Rolling Stones

    Childhood living is easy to do
    The things you wanted I bought them for you
    Graceless lady, you know who I am
    You know I can't let you slide through my hands



    Wild horses couldn't drag me away
    Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away


    I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
    Now you decided to show me the same
    No sweeping exits or offstage lines
    Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind


    I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
    I have my freedom but I don't have much time
    Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
    Let's do some living after we die
    Wild horses couldn't drag me away
    Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday


    And,

    Here There and Everywhere-Beatles

    To lead a better life, I need my love to be here.
    Here, making each day of the year,
    Changing my life with a wave of her hand.
    Nobody can deny that there’s something there.
    There, running my hands through her hair,
    Both of us thinking how good it can be.
    Someone in speaking but she doesn’t know he’s there.
    I want her ev’rywhere, and if she’s beside me I know I need never care,
    But to love her is to meet her ev’rywhere,
    Knowing that my love is to share,
    Each one believing that love never dies,
    Watching her eyes and hoping I’m always there.
    To be there and ev’rywhere,
    Here, there and ev’rywhere.
