Music is a creative way to express or invoke an emotion or mood. With Valentine's Day in the near future, many individuals are trying to figure out just the right song to play for their sweethearts on that special day. Here are my top ten musical selections to show one's love on Valentine's Day:

1. My Girl by the Temptations - This song is one of my all-time favorites. A few years back, my husband bought me a Valentine's Day card that played this tune, and it has held sentimental value ever since. It is a great way for guys to let their special ladies know what they mean to them.

2. My Guy by Mary Wells - This song is a great alternative for women to play for the special men in their lives. It emphasizes commitment to the relationship even in the face of temptation.

3.Ain't No Woman Like The One I Got by The Four Tops - This smooth song is perfect to play for that treasured woman in your life. Let your love know that she is the only one for you and how she stands out from all the rest.

4. You Send Me by Samuel Cooke - This sweet and soulful melody will let that special person in your life know that he or she is the one for you. This tune is excellent to play while dining by candlelight or cuddling on the couch.

5. Like an Angel by Yngwie Malmsteen - Yngwie Malmsteen wrote this marvelous musical piece for his wife April, and it is simply beautiful. For those who love great guitar music and love ballads, this song is a wonderful selection to dedicate to the precious lady in your life.

6. I Live My Life for You by Firehouse - This love ballad is one of my and my husband's treasured songs. These lyrics let your beloved one know just how important that he or she is to you.

7. Come Away with Me by Norah Jones - This peaceful, mellow melody is ideal for playing as you and your special Valentine enjoy a dinner by candlelight or take an evening drive at dusk.

8. Fields of Gold by Sting - This emotionally stirring song is ideal for invoking images of love from days gone by. If you and your loved one have a history together, then, these lyrics will have special meaning for you.

9. Forever and Ever, Amen by Randy Travis - This upbeat tune is a wonderful way to let your sweetheart know just how long you plan to love her and that she is the only one for you. It is a sweet way to say "I'm going to love you forever."

10.Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers - This song from the movie Ghost is sure to create a romantic mood for you and your significant other. It is a fabulous tune particularly for a couple that has recently been reunited after a separation or absence.

    I love every song you mentioned. When Naomi was a baby, I would sing "My Girl" to her, so that song has special meaning for me. Now, it's "My Girls." LOL!
