Mine is definately "I'll Cover You"

And is it a coincidence that Manoel Felciano chose my current favorite song (well, my #2... he sings my #1)? I think not.

Okay this may be a stupid question, but I know in a lot of Kander and Ebb tribute concerts, Not A Day Goes By is sung quite often, yet everyone here is saying it's from Merrily, a Sondheim show...are these two different songs?

There are so many but the one that jumps up is: All I Ask Of You. That songs gives you chills! Others I like (in no particular order)

I'll Cover You -- Rent
So In Love -- Kiss Me Kate
In His Eyes -- J&H (I LOVE THAT SONG!)
Til There Was You -- The Music Man
On My Own -- Les Mis
If I Can't Love Her -- Beauty & the Beast
Almost A Love Song -- Victor/Victoria
I Got Lost in His Arms -- Annie Get Your Gun

there are SO many to pick from; I'll narrow it down to four, many
of which WickedRentEder above me has said.

1. So In Love - Kiss Me, Kate (which I'm in now, actually, as Fred)
2. I'll Cover You - Rent
3. On My Own - Les Miserables
4. Forever Yours - Once On This Island

Here's a sentence I never thought I'd hear myself say. I'm with Deborah Gibson, On My Own is my favorite Broadway love song.

I am a softie for "If ever I would leave you"
but #s 2 & 3 would be "On My Own" and "A Little Drop of Rain"
I was also on the floor with the "On the Street Where You Live"
as a valentine to stalkers everywhere line!

I Have a Love- from WSS...can't help it. Love it.

"Loving You" from PASSION is perfection. Period. It's the most romantic song - those six lines just say it all.

[Enjolras77]

Posted: 2/10/06 at 4:20pm

I think all of mine have been covered either in article or on this board.

I love the classic romantic songs like "Some Enchanted Evening", "If I Loved You", "If Ever I Would Leave You", "As Long as He Needs Me", and "Til' There was You".

I think one of the most romantic (and tragic) stories in musical theatre is that of Archie and Lily in The Secret Garden. The entire sequence of "Where in the World" where Archie contemplates suicide because he feels he can't live without Lily, to her calming response in "How Could I Ever Know", which culminates in an emotional duet is beautiful. It gets me EVERY time!

Jumping in.
1. Inside your heart-Batboy. I was surprised no one added this last year...
2. Someone like you-Jekyll and Hyde. Ok so it's more about unreqited love but still it one of my favorite songs.
3.Role of a lifetime-Bare. Not a "really" a love song I guess but I think it's filled with so much emotion with fighting his sexual feelings and his love for Jason. Gives me chills everytime
4.Where's the girl-Ok so I just like Chauvlin...granted I love Percy too but...but...Margurite could have both!

And of coarse I second both On my own and I'll cover you. Both of which are dear to my heart.

Cannot believe I forgot Written in the Stars from Aida.

[IWannaDance!]

Posted: 2/10/06 at 6:22pm

"New Music" from Ragtime. It's about the many different shades of love, how it ebbs and flows, overwhelms you and surrounds you. It takes my breath away.

[overthemoon419]

"I Could Write a Book" from When Harry Met Sally... is just perfection, in my opinion, even if it isn't from a musical.
"At Last" is sheer beauty, as well.
Also:
"The Next Ten Minutes" The Last Five Years
"If I Can't Love Her" Beauty and the Beast
"A Little Fall of Rain" Les Miserables
"Sue Me" Guys and Dolls
"Rosie" Bye Bye Birdie
"All I Ask of You" Phantom of the Opera
"As Long As You're Mine" Wicked
"I'll Cover You" and "I'll Cover You (Reprise)" Rent
"Without You" Rent

"Not While I'm Around" Sweeney Todd
"The Next Ten Minutes" The Last Five Years

"On My Own", "I'd Give It All For You", "All the Wasted Time", and "If I Didn't Believe In You." [[It IS a coincidence that 3/4 are JRB. I swear.]]
