10 Romantic Songs

     Maybe the songs below are very old,but we still remember them.They express our heart.

     Hello - Lionel Ritchie: This is such a beautifully romantic song, sweet and moving. Sung so mellifluously by Lionel Ritchie, this song came out in 1984, climbing to the number one spot on the UK Singles Chart and the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Although I didn’t care much for the second stanza of the song, however, when I listen to it today, I go all soft and mushy as I listen to the opening stanza.

     If You Go Away - Frank Sinatra: This is such a sad song, full of pathos, of hope, of despair. It plays out what every lover must have experienced some time or the other. After all, can romance be complete without the pain of parting ways, of losing love.

     I’m On The Top Of The World - The Carpenters: This song, on the other hand, puts a spring in your heart and your step, brings a sparkle into your eyes, makes you want to twirl, and skip, and dance as you revel on that ‘top of the world’ feeling of falling in love. Just listen to the opening stanza and the refrain…

     Nights In White Satin - Moody Blues: This song makes the goose flesh rise even today. I love the way it is sung and I love the lyrics… Coming out as a single in 1967, it was featured on the album named ‘Days of Future Passed’. The song is about love’s yearning, which many think is the saga of unrequited love experienced by Justin Hayward, who penned the words…

     I Just Called To Say I Love You - Stevie Wonder: Sure this one is kind of simplistic, sure it’s jingly, sure it’s mushily sappy. So what? When I heard it first in the 1984 movie, ‘The Woman in Red’, it made me go all soft and gooey inside. What would romance and romantic songs be without the schmaltzy silliness that is also part of love.

     Words - Bee Gees: Released in 1968, this is another of my all time favorite romantic songs.

     Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton: This song rendered so beautifully by Eric Clapton’s gentle, dulcet voice is a veritable ode to heartfelt romantic love. A 1976 song in which he pays homage to the beauty of his girlfriend, Pattie, whom he would later marry, as she dressed up for an evening out.

     My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion: From the soundtrack of the 1998 movie ‘Titanic’, Celine Dion with her soaring voice makes it a stunningly outstanding rendition of love overcoming all, even death. Beautiful!

     Come Away With Me - Norah Jones: I love her mellifluous voice with her rendition of this 2003 number, which is so evocative of the dreamy interludes that romance can be so full of…

     Tie a Yellow Ribbon - Tony Orlando and Dawn: This lilting little 1973 number has to be the ultimate representation of romantic ‘happily ever after’ feel good sentiment. I love the vision it evokes of the hundred yellow ribbons tied on the old oak tree.
