I'll Cover You Reprise - RENT
Enchantment Passing Through Reprise- AIDA (its not on the CD but it gets to me everytime)
A Little Fall of Rain - Les Mis
Sun and Moon - Miss Siagon
All I Ask of You - POTO
Someone Like You - J&H

Is it just me or do alot of the "love songs" are also "songs that make you cry"?


EDIT -added REPRISE to Enchantment Passing Through, thanks for pointing that out Cara!

This is a tricky subject, because lots of BWay songs arer sung by characters "In love"... And sometimes they're upset that the other doesn't love them... So I'll write a list of all the songs I love that that happen to deal with love....
First off, as a gay man, I must confess my absolute favorite love song is Cher's "After All"... My god, I love that woman! But as a gay broadway fan I suppose it's:
Unexpected Song - From Song & Dance... My god, so beautiful.
I'll Cover You - From Rent, and the reprise is heartbreaking.
Without Love - From Hairspray, Now I've tasted Chocolate... Well, I haven't, but Penny has...
The Winner Takes It All - From Mamma Mia! I know what you're thinking, but I think it is a love song. She's still in love with him, and broken hearted because she thinks he doesn't care. Take the line "Tell me does she kiss, like I used to kiss you?" Ugh...
I Got Lost In His Arms - From AGYG, Go Bernie!
Beauty and the Beast - From show of same name... I'm sorry, but I remember when I was kid, I just loved this song!
What I Did For Love - Does this count? Even if it doesn't it's still pretty!
Written In the Stars - Elton and Tim outdid themselves here!

That's all the ones that's coming to my post bar mind... I'm sure there are so many others, but that's what's making me miss my bf right now.

"In Whatever Time We Have"-Children of Eden
"It Takes Two"- Into the Woods
"Dangerous Game"- Jekyll & Hyde
"As Long As You're Mine"- Wicked

And those that aren't quite love songs, but rather sad retrospectives:
"I Know the Truth"- AIDA
"I Guess I'll Miss the Man"- Pippin
"I'm Not That Girl"- Wicked
"Could We Start Again Please"- JCSS

my most absolute favorite (and probably the song they will play at my wedding) is unworthy, from assassins. ignore the fact that its dedicated to some chick and charlie manson. look for the version from putting it together, it's beautiful.

note: these are the songs i play when i am "in love", whether it be happy (first list) or sad (second list), there's a song for every occassion. i dunno whats up with the 3rd list

PEOPLE IN LOVE:

- i don't know how to love him (although disturbing to catholics but whatevz) ..jesus christ superstar
- in his eyes (jeckyll and hyde)
- take me as i am (same as above)
- BEWITCHED BOTHERED AND BEWILDERED (pal joey - the lyrics in this one are GREAT)
- so in love (kiss me kate)
- lida rose/ sweet and low (or whatever its called, from music man)
- all i ask of you (phantom)
- last night of the world (miss saigon)
- not a day goes by (tortured love, but it counts...merrily we roll along)
- it's de-lovely
- all through the night (both from anything goes)
- it takes two (into the woods)
- till there was you (music man)
- dulcinea (man of la mancha...pure, chaste love at its best)
- she's got a way (movin out)


BEING DENYED LOVE:
- i know the truth (aida)
- on my own (les miz)
- i'm not that girl (wicked)
- without you (rent)
- as long as he needs me (sortof..oliver)
- goodbye, little dream, goodbye (anything goes)
- once upon a dream
- someone like you (both from jeckyll and hyde)
- easy to be hard (hair...if u know the context its GREAT!)
- losing my mind (...dont know the musical..aaah!!)
- i wish i could forget you (passion)
- love's never easy (bombay dreams)



BREAKUP SONGS
- the winner takes it all (mamma mia...i heard this song performed at a college concert, the girl was AMAZING, the woman on the soundtrack doesnt reach her heels)
- we do not belong together (sunday in the park with george)
- tell me on a sunday (sooo sad...song and dance)
- send in the clowns (a little night music???)

Definitely "World Without You" from Children of Eden, though it isn't the typical love song...

and "Happiness" from Passion..and just about anything by Sondheim that is classified a love song..

Posted: 8/9/04 at 8:45pm

SUDDENLY SEYMOUR!!!!!! the best b'way love song ever! The way kerry butler belts that out is wonderful she's one of the best singers!
