Merriam-Webster definition of romantic: consisting of or resembling a romance; having no basis in fact : imaginary

"All of me"

John Legend

I would have to say, Selena---I could fall in love.

Bonnie Tyler 'Total eclipse of the heart'

The truly romantic love songs are the ones I sing to someone I love that I make up as I go along.
Who needs music when the rhythm of love is so loud?

Of course this topic could be influenced by generational factors, meaning perhaps I am just an old fogie who knows little or nothing of more recent songs.


but my favourite is ''In Dreams'' by the incomparable Roy Orbison.

The phrase 'hopelessly romantic' sums up this song for me.

The lyrics are straightforward, plain language, never overblown,

He knows she is gone, he has no hope of ever seeing her again ........

Go to sleep everything is alright..

"I Will Always Love You".....Whitney Houston

"Three Times A Lady".....Lionel Richie

Foolish heart

Steve perry

need a love that grows
I don't want it unless I know
With each passin' hour
Someone, somehow
Will be there, ready to share
I need a love that's strong
I'm so tired of being alone
But will my lonely heart
Play the part
Of the fool again, before I begin
Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore
Feelin' that feelin' again
Playin' a game I can't win
Love's knockin' on the door
Of my heart once more
Think I'll let her in
Before I begin
Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before, you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore
Foolish heart
Foolish, foolish heart
You've been wrong before
Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore
Foolish heart
Oh foolish foolish heart
You've been wrong before
Foolish foolish heart
Foolish heart

But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine

"Love Me Tender"
Norah Jones
(originally by Elvis Presley)
(from "The Princess Diaries 2: Royal
Engagement" soundtrack)


Love me tender, love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For, my darling I love you
And I always will

Love me tender, love me dear
Tell me you are mine
I'll be yours through all the years
'Till the end of time

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For, my darling I love you
And I always will

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For, my darling I love you
And I always will
Always will
