The most beautiful love song ever....

For me, it has to be this, especially Chet Baker's version from the 1940s :
"I get along without you very well,
Of course I do,
Except to hear your name,
Or someone 's laugh that is the same....."
And the last lines:
"Except perhaps in Spring,
But I should never think of Spring,
For that would surely break my heart in two..."
It gets me every time! What song do you find beautiful?

The first time ever I saw your face

I saw my newborn and fell totally and forever in love. Smile

I love a good love song. My favourites are:

The Grass Is Blue by Dolly Parton
PS You Rock My World by Eels
Love and Affection by Joan Armatrading
Hey That's No Way to Say Goodbye by Leonard Cohen
Into Your Arms by Nick Cave

Chocolatebourbons · 10/12/2018 17:04

A Thousand Years - Christina Perri
Annie's Song - John Denver

Verbena87 · 10/12/2018 17:05

Nick Cave does it best. I adore ‘no more shall we part’ and ‘into my arms’

Other brilliant ones...
Nick Drake - northern sky
Tom Waits - little trip to heaven
Iron and Wine - naked as we came
Stevie Wonder - signed, sealed and delivered

TheDetectorist · 10/12/2018 17:12

Another vote for Into My Arms by Nick Cave. It’s exquisite.

Also, True Love Ways by Buddy Holly

ChipInTheSugar · 10/12/2018 17:13

Peter Gabriel - The Book of Love

TheDetectorist · 10/12/2018 17:14

I embarrassingly also have a soft spot for Thinking Our Loud by Ed Sheeran too

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 10/12/2018 17:16

Another vote for Nick Cave.
I stopped what I was doing when I first heard Into your arms and just stood and listened.

*My arms

LittleLlamaontheduskyroad · 10/12/2018 17:17

Grow Old With Me by Tom O'Dell - all the more beautiful because he doesn't sing it in a "beautiful" way.

Stereomum · 10/12/2018 17:17

Love of my life by Queen.

skippy67 · 10/12/2018 17:18

Woman by John Lennon.

Prestonsflowers · 10/12/2018 17:18

Adele, make you feel my love
Written by Bob Dylan

1sttimeunicorn · 10/12/2018 17:24

Another vote for Nick Cave into my arms. Beautiful.
Reminds me of my son. I thought of the song a lot when pregnant. It's a stunning song everyone should hear it.

Veterinari · 10/12/2018 17:25

She.

Elfontheshelfiswatchingyoutoo · 10/12/2018 17:27

You belong to me, Bob Dylan.

Beautiful, Al Green

Something, all versions... My favourite love song.

1sttimeunicorn · 10/12/2018 17:29

Also I think 'so long marianne' by Leonard Cohen is very beautiful - about the end of a relationship but still lovely. 'You left when I told you I was curious, I never said that I was brave.'
