A song can take your emotions and twist them at will. Wistful memories resurface and bring you back to that very moment. A certain time, a certain place. Remember?

But, a romantic song can reach down into the depth of your soul and tug at your heart until it hurts...... or make you feel really good. Amazingly good.
That is the power of lyrics to music.

Here is a list of my favorite romantic love songs.

U2 ~ All I want is You

Front man Bono wrote this love letter/song for his wife Ali and sings with all the passion of only a man in the truest form of love can. "From the cradle to the grave, all I want is you".... The strings at the end are poetically haunting. This song makes you believe with your whole heart, soul mates truly do exist. All I want is you, All I need is you, All I want is you......

The sort of song that literally can take your breath away.

The constant traveling, touring and being away from the one you love can take it's toll and this was his way of reassuring her that no matter how far apart they are at times, she's always on his mind. "Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am home again." He will never take their love for granted and forever will cherish her.

Peter Gabriel ~ In Your Eyes

Featured in the movie "Say Anything", John Cusack's character wears his heart on his sleeve and shows up with a boom box held over his head to prove to his object of desire, just how bad he's got it for her. Rumor has it that Peter Gabriel didn't want this song used in the film because it was so personal to him. "In your eyes, the light, the heat, I am complete." "Without
