Younger Than Springtime...only he says "lover". Does that count?

Also, If I Would Ever Leave You is a good one.

It's been mentioned already, but "Say It Somehow" from Light in the Piazza is one of my faves.

"I'll cover you" -Rent

I don't think it says the L word

"Without You" RENT

The L word is in "I'll Cover You"

I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are my love,

Um...what about "Johanna"

"Johanna" is a better stalker song than a love song. :P

"I Get a Kick Out of You" - Anything Goes
"I Know Him So Well" - Chess (this is a love song, right?)

"Johanna" is a better stalker song than a love song. :P

Ha...not that my stalker ever bothered singing.

As others have shown, My Fair Lady is the standard show for this. It's a love story show and the word is barely, if ever, uttered in the whole show.

"Timeless To Me"-Hairspray

"It Takes Two"-Into The Woods

"Forever Yours"-Once On This Island

"See Her Smile"-Tick Tick Boom

"With You On My Arm"-La Cage Aux Folles

"Why God Why"-Miss Saigon

How about 'What More Can I Say' from Falsettos - he says 'if I say I love him', but that's it, and it's only a hypothetical. The rest of the song, without mentioning love, is achingly beautiful.
