OK, so someone pointed out the other day that I did not have a list for my favorite love songs. I scanned my memory driving around yesterday and then started a list below. I have in mind somewhat more innocent love songs, not really songs about broken hearts, lost love, or unfulfilled longing (that is another longer more interesting list), and not really songs about getting it on in the night (So, Night Moves won’t be on the list, nor Crazy on You, [but maybe Moondance? Hmmm.]). So, here is a beginning. I’ll add and subtract a few and whittle it down to 25. So, what am I forgetting?
Colour My World by Chicago
Fly Me to the Moon by Tony Bennett
Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley
Beautiful by Gordon Lightfoot
This Girl’s In Love by Dionne Warwick
And the Night Stood Still by Dion

As long as you've got "First Time Every I Saw Your Face" your list is complete. (in my opinion)
Now you have me curious about your other list(s). Guess we'll never see those.
Alice,
I am working on those other lists, as well as moving all my MSN lists to www.joelgillespie.com. I think I'll title my next list somethingn like Favorite Love Gone Wrong Songs. You know, When a Man Loves a Woman, Love Hurts, Have You Ever Loved a Woman, I Will Always Love You, stuff like that.
Oh, I need to add A Case of You to Favorite Love songs. That just popped into my memory.
I think First Time Ever I Saw Your Face may be the most beautiful song ever written.
Joel
