My husband and I just got married and the band used the JB arrangement and played Can't Take My Eyes Off of You for our first dance...so I think that is the winner
Well, I'm a huge Sweeney Todd fan, so I'd have to say Kiss Me, but my latest obsession is Spring Awakening, and I cry whenever I hear The Word of Your Body.

Nobody mentioned my favorite, "What I Did For Love" from "A Chorus Line", or "Almost Like Being In Love" from "Brigadoon" nor "Hey There" from "Pajama Game". "So In Love" from "Kiss Me Kate" is also one of my favorites. Don't forget: "A Woman In Love" from Guys and Dolls", "Some Enchanted Evening" from "South Pacific", "Love Look Away" from "Flower Drum Song", "Younger Than Springtime" from "South Pacific", "Make Believe" from "Showboat", "If He Walked Into My Life" from "Mame", "Sunrise Sunset" from "Fiddler", "Goodnight My Someone" from "Music Man", and "Kismet's" "Stranger in Paradise" and "This Is My Beloved". It's hard to pick a favorite.

Sorry, I had to bump this.
Does "What I Did for Love" really count as a love song? I really don't think it does...
Anyway, Love Who you Love from A Man of No Importance is now my favorite.
jv92---I agree!

Now, it's "As Long As You're Mine" from 'Wicked'. Before that I didn't have one. I despise romance. Sexiness with a little love thrown in is cool though.
Maria-West Side Story. God, I wish my name were Maria. My middle name is Maria...but it's not the same.
"Surrey with the Fringe on Top"
Especially when Gordon MacRae sings it. I don't understand why the show doesn't just end right there. How can Laury even consider another man after that song? For me, it's like game over.
I'm so bad at narrowing things down.
"And This is My Beloved" - Kismet
"From This Day On" - Brigadoon
"Before I Gaze at You Again" - Camelot
"All The Wasted Time" - Parade
"I Never Said I Love You" - Dear World
does "Make Our Garden Grow" count? - Candide
"With Every Breath I Take" - City of Angels
"Marry Me A Little" - Company/Marry Me a Little
"Embracable You" - Crazy for You, but I actually prefer this song performed more seriously than it is in the show.
"Loving You" - Passion
"Say It Somehow" - Light in the Piazza
"Tonight" - West Side Story
"People Like Us" - Wild Party
"Love Who You Love" - Man of No Importance
and my favorite is "She's My Love" from Carnival
"You Have Made Me Love You" from CYRANO
"Gimme Gimme" - Thoroughly Modern Millie
"Jimmy" - Thoroughly Modern Millie
"A Little Fall of Rain" - Les Miserables
"Small Umbrella in the Rain" - Little Women
"Some Things are Meant to Be" - Little Women (ok, so it may not exactly be a love song, but it kind of is. It's about accepting death and letting go someone close to you. It's more a love song about the unbreakable sister bond.)
"Ten Minutes Ago" - Cinderella
~Darci
"I Got Lost" - Annie Get Your Gun
"They Say It's Wonderful" - Annie Get Your Gun
"Elaborate Lives" - Aida
"So In Love" - Kiss Me Kate
"I've Grown Accostomed to Her Face" - My Fair Lady
"If I Loved You" - Carousel
"Tell Her I Love Her" - Urinetown
"A Little Fall of Rain" - Les Miserables
"Seasons of Love" - Rent (I realize it's not necessarily a "love song" but it is one of my all time favorite songs about love)
"The Next Ten Minutes" - Last 5 Years
...I'm not so good at narrowing things down.
"I Wish I Could Forget You" - Passion
"The Music That Makes me Dance" - Funny Girl
"A Man Doesn't Know" - Damn Yankees
"Love Who You Love" - A Man of No Importance
