    Love of my life

    Oh lordy, this one stops me in my tracks, every single time. Simply beautiful :o
    Grace

    Hard to listen to without the hairs standing up on the back of my neck, and tears in my eyes. An incredible song that was covered often, but without doubt best sung by Jim McCann.

    I walked up the aisle on my wedding day to "Groovy Kind of Love" :o
    The bridesmaids went ahead of me to "Only You" (Yazoo) :)

    I love this thread :o

    Ok, one more vote here for each of the following:
    The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,
    I'll Be Seeing You, and
    Angie.

    All of those 3 make me very emotional indeed when I hear them. What's funny is that when I was 16, Angie, for example, had no impact. It started to have one a good while later. For some of them, you need that kind of experience behind you.

    Other than that,

    Dance Me To The End Of Love by Leonard Cohen

    I Want You by Bob Dylan

    Missing You by John Waite

    I'm So Into You by Atlanta Rythm Section

    Holding On To You by Terence Trent D'Arby

    Careless Whisper by George Michael

    Mad About You by Sting

    (You Don't Know What It's Like) To Love Somebody by Bee Gees

    A Case of You by Joni Mitchell

    Till It Shines by Bob Seger

    The Power Of Love by Frankie Goes To Hollywood

    So Emotional by Whitney Houston

    Accidentally In Love by Counting Crows

    A number of these are pure poetry...

    I'll think of a few more tomorrow, I'm sure! :D

    Just realised, heavily weighted towards men there, so for any foreign language speakers, there are some more womanly ones!

    Donna Con Te by Anna Oxa

    Eblouie Par La Nuit by Zaz

    Ever Fallen In Love by Nouvelle Vague (yes, I know it's Buzzcocks originally, but I prefer the certain je-ne-sais-quoi that the French girls put into it!)

    ETA: Yes!! Always On My Mind, how could I forget it?? It used to be a big deal in the teenage years, same as Take On Me and More Than Words... gaaah, so many great songs..!!

    The Dutchman

    let us go to the banks of the ocean
    where the wall rise above the Zeider Zee
    long ago, I used to be a young man
    but dear Margaret remembers that for me
