Mine would be between "If I can't love her" from Beauty and the Beast or "All I ask of you" from Phantom of the Opera... What about you?

For the First Time from Tarzan. people knock me for my love of Tarzan but the show, the music, and especially that song is just so beautiful and moving. the song is just a perfect example of how it feels to fall in love.... goes to listen to it again

Obviously "Girl, Can I Kiss You With Tongue?" from Cry-Baby. SO romantic.

"Forget About the Boy"

Not your typical love song, but "Unworthy of Your Love" from Assassins would probably be at the top of my list.

'You'll Never Get Away From Me' & 'Small World' from Gypsy

"The Next Ten Minutes" from L5Y. Does that count even if it wasn't on Broadway?

"All the Things You Are" from VERY WARM FOR MAY, composed in 1939 by Jerome Kern, with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and still the most beautiful and romantic love song I have ever heard in any Broadway musical.

I love "For the First Time" as well. You are not alone...

'Sorta Love Song' by Scott Burkell for the cabaret "Love songs and other crap"

Too Many Mornings

My first instinct was Marry Me A Little, which is depressing and pathetic, so I'll go with Being Alive. Slightly better, but still kind of jaded. None of that schmaltzy Rodgers and Hammerstein crap for me.

Loving You, from Passion.

Sappy, but I love "Somewhere" from WSS, and agree with "All I Ask of You." "As Long As You're Mine" puts a lump in my throat, also.

[Theatreboy49]

I have many but the first couple that really pop into my head are Unusual Way from Nine and Dont know Where You Leave Off from Sweet Smell of Success

I have to agree with So In Love, esp. the version on the De-Lovely soundtrack. So haunting and lovely.

"Unexpected Song" from 'Song and Dance'

[jv92]

Posted: 2/10/10 at 9:39pm

"Send in the Clowns" and "All the Wasted Time" AND "He Was Too Good to Me"

"Say it Somehow" from Piazza
"One Hand, One Heart" from WSS
"Sunrise" from ITH

Also, I was just listening to GrooveLily's score to A Midsummer Night's Dream and was reminded of how romantic that show was. My favorite track is Titania's Suite.


...I wish I could go back in time and see that production again.

I have a bunch, but if I had to narrow it down:

"I'd Give It All For You" - Songs For a New World
"Tonight" - West Side Story
"Love to Me" and "Say It Somehow" - The Light in the Piazza

[SporkGoddess]

Posted: 2/10/10 at 10:05pm

I have a ton, but probably "The Next Ten Minutes" from The Last Five Years
