I'll Cover You

My Funny Valentine

At the moment, because I just heard Cheyenne and Feinstein sing it as a comment on gay marriage, "We Kiss in a Shadow" from THE KING AND I.

Most have been listed already:

"Say It Somehow" and "Love to Me" from Piazza
"The Next 10 Minutes" is a great song from L5Y but "If I didn't Believe in You" effects me much more.
"What is it About Her" Lippa's The Wild Party
The typical choice "Some Enchanted Evening" - South Pacific

Odd choices:
"When Words Fail" - Shrek

---

definitely "So In Love"
and also "You'll Never Get Away from Me"

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone.

The one that makes me feel the most intensely swoopy is "She Was There" from The Scarlet Pimpernel. I know, lame, right? But I love that song.

"Suddenly Seymour" from Little Shop of Horrors
"You Should Be Loved" from Side Show (again, lame, I know)
"Lily's Eyes" from The Secret Garden
"Love Changes Everything" from Aspects of Love (Even lamer...)
"Written In The Stars" from Aida (Lame, lame, lame)
And...though it was never on Broadway or even in the original movie, "If I Never Knew You" from Pocahontas.

And then the obvious choices--
"Some Enchanted Evening" from South Pacific
"Make Our Garden Grow" from Candide.

SOOOOOOO many:
If I Loved You (Carousel)- Haunting, poetic, and deeply passionate.
Bill (Show Boat)- When words can't describe why you love someone, you simply say, "Because he's just my Bill."
Love Can't Happen (Grand Hotel)- When sung well, it never fails to produce chills.
Two People in Love (Baby)- One of the most fun love songs ever.
Breeze Off the River (The Full Monty)- Not a traditional love song (this is a son to his mother at her funeral), but oh so beautiful and can really make you cry.
Not a Day Goes By (Merrily We Roll Along)- Loving someone every day... and they'll never know.
Pleased with Myself (Starting Here Starting Now)- That moment you realize that you've fallen in love with someone, walk down the street to this song. It's the equivalent of walking on air.
... and the entire score to She Loves Me. The entire show is a love song TO love.

In Whatever Time We Have

People Will Say We're in Love (Don't throw bouquets at me) from Oklahoma.

Say It Somehow
Anytime (Elegies)
All The Wasted Time


This is crazy, there are just too many!

---

"In My Life" from Les Misérables
"What More Can I Say" from Falsettoland
"One Hand, One Heart" from West Side Story
"On That First Night" from Napoleon
"Some Enchanted Evening" from South Pacific

There are so many beautiful love songs from Broadway. I think musical theater does such a great job of expressing emotion and we get so many great songs out of that. I'll have to say my favorites are "My Funny Valentine" because of the brilliance of the lyrics, and "Till There Was You" because the song is beautiful and I love the whole scene and it's just great.

"Wanting" from Rags.

"What Would I Do?" from Falsettoland.
