There are two of them that have been in my mind nearly all my life.
One is an off-Broadway love song, actually - "They Were You" from 'The Fantasticks.'
The other is "Her Face" from 'Carnival.'

Mountain Duet from CHESS
With You from PIPPIN
I Have Dreamed from THE KING AND I
If we are talking romantic love for another person, then I would have to say "Someone Like You" from Jekyll and Hyde. However, if we are talking about love in general, not necessarily for another person, but rather for life, "What I Did for Love" wins hands down.
Either "Kiss Me" from SWEENEY or "Tonight" from WEST SIDE STORY.
I also love "I'd Give it All For You" from SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD, "The Next 10 Minutes" from THE LAST FIVE YEARS, and "More Than I Am" from LITTLE WOMEN. "The Next 10 Minutes" is probably my favorite from that group.

I agree... "Someone like you" is beautiful. Never saw the musical Jeckyll and Hyde, but I attended a concert where Linda Eder sang it. Absolutely beautiful song.
