Thirteen of My All-Time Favorite Love Songs
Narrowing this list down to only thirteen songs was just about impossible! But in no particular order, here are thirteen of my all-time favorite love songs. You can listen to all or some of them using the neat little MP3 player I’ve added to the right sidebar.
- The Story of My Life (Neil Diamond)
- It Might Be You (Stephen Bishop from “Tootsie”)
- Music of the Night (from “The Phantom of the Opera” performed here by Michael Crawford with Barbra Streisand) ((I’ve seen “The Phantom of the Opera” four times — twice in Los Angeles starring Robert Guillaume and twice in San Francisco starring Franc D’Ambrosio. I wish I could have seen Michael Crawford perform the role, but, alas, I was not so fortunate.))
- When You Love Someone (Bryan Adams from “Hope Floats”)
- The Right Thing to Do (Carly Simon)
- You Can Close Your Eyes (James Taylor)
- My Baby You (Marc Anthony)
- I Finally Found Someone (Bryan Adams and Barbra Streisand from “The Mirror Has Two Faces”)
- The Last Time I Felt Like This (I Was Falling in Love) (Jane Olivor and Johnny Mathis from “Same Time, Next Year”)
- The Gift (Jim Brickman, Collin Raye)
- You (Jane Olivor)
- In This Life (Collin Raye — “One Life to Live” fans will recognize this as Jake and Megan’s theme)
- That Was a River (Collin Raye)
Bonus: Some Enchanted Evening, as recorded by the incomparable Jane Olivor

I loved Jim Croce!!! Still remember every detail of where I was when I heard he died in a plane crash.
“If there’s a rock ‘n’ roll heaven, well, you know they gotta hell of a band!”
Ohhh I love this list, I have alot of those songs on my mp3 player.
Hope you had a happy TT!!
Have a Great WEEKEND!!!!
I only know #7, but I love James Taylor π
Jim Croce was wonderful, and so is James Taylor. And oh, I love “The Music of the Night!”
Great list! Have a wonderful weekend, and thank you for visiting my blog. π
Nice bunch of songs. I LOVE Phantom! I’m seeing it for the fourth or fifth time next month. I can’t wait!!
Mine’s up too π
Very cool list. My husband and I adore The Phantom of the Opera. It’s the one musical we truly want to see live.
Music of the Night is one of my favorites too. I melt when my hubby sings it for me. Aaaah. π
Happy TT! π
My favorite Bryan Adams’ song is Everything I Do I Do It For You.
