Ah, love! What would this world be without it? Throughout the ages musicians and poets have created songs and poems that set the mood for love and explore the emotions felt in all the stages of love. Sometimes a good song helps one muddle through the complex feelings that arise with love. Sometimes it is just fun to swoon to love songs that bring back memories and inspire hope for future love.

The list above includes love songs I have enjoyed over the years. Add some of your favorites in the comments section too!

    Great choices. Love Clapton's Reason to Believe and we had At Last sung at our wedding. Cliche maybe but still sooooo beautiful.
