favorite classic love songs

[daydream believer]

one of my absolute favorites is Moonlight Serenade by Glen Miller..it is my grandparents'' song so I tear up every time I listen to it. My parents'' song is Just You ''N Me by Chicago and they call each other on the phone to say I love you every time they hear it, no matter where they are

Tiny Dancer and blue eyes are favorites...also anything by nat king cole.

Moment to Moment by Henry Mancini (lyrics Johnny Mercer)
From moment to moment every moment that I live
I live for every moment with you
To see you, to touch you, to imagine this will be
The moment when a dream comes true



Just an ordinary day becomes adventure
Such sweet adventure I never knew
And life will be rainbows as I learn the secret of
The miracle that love can do
From moment to moment with you



And life will be rainbows as I learn the secret of
The miracle that love can do
From moment to moment with you


I knew Hank and his wife Ginny in the early 70's. My husband at the time was his soloist in concert and we traveled all over. We always thought of this as our song.

What a cool story! Feel free to share any ''stories from the road'' about those days; I would bet you have many.

I LOVE love songs! I never know the names, though. That doesn''t keep me from belting them out at home.
I love Maybe I''m Amazed, too guys.
Also, You Light Up My Life - is that even the title? I love to see DH cringe when I let loose with that one.

I, too, had this problem, so for our wedding reception a few weeks ago, I put a playlist together. I did remove some of the trendier country ones that many people would not know or probably wouldn''t care for from this list, but you get the gist...it was a relaxed, easygoing day with good music, great food and fabulous friends! I swear I thought, "God, I just LOVE that song!" each time one of my old favorites came on that day...I''m so glad I have all these songs on CD''s now-I haven''t taken them out of my car''s CD player since!

I know there''s a lot of them, but I just couldn''t choose a few favorites...I love them all!
