I sing in a community fun choir once a month. For February, the director has asked for some love song ideas for Valentines Day.
What songs would you include in a list of love songs?

I've always loved Billy Joel's I Love You Just The Way You Are.
Catherine love that one too
But, all time fave is "Love Me Tender" Elvis
and "The Dance" Garth Brooks
I would have to break it down by genres.
COUNTRY:
A real nice one,
When You Say Nothin At All - kieth Whitley or Alison Krauss
But In 1955 Kitty Wells charted this one written by Jimmy Work and covered by nearly every Country music star since. I pick it because my dad sang it and when he did it seemed like there was an untold story in his past.
It has all all the makings of a perfect country song. A steel guitar, a key change in the middle, a honky tonk piano and a sad story.
I chose the version by Emmy Lou Harris..... “Making Believe”

Here is one that probably no one has heard of, but I LOVE this love song. I think it's in my top 3:

ETA: Also, I love Paul McCartney so I have to put in votes for:
When I'm 64
I Will
Maybe I'm Amazed
George Harrison, Eric Clapton... Something.
Eric Clapton.. Wonderful Tonight
EDIT: made me think about one that was also written for another gal who had two songs written for her. Peter Gabriel... Your Eyes
Marc Cohn.. True Companion
And my favorite, the one that makes people give you that look then laugh:
