The Light in the Piazza- TLitP
I'm Here- The Color Purple
The Ballad of Sweeney Todd- Sweeney Todd
The I Love You Song- Spelling Bee

-The Ballad of Sweeney Todd(Sweeney Todd)
-A Weekend in the Country(A Little Night Music)
-Salty Teardrops(Caroline, or Change)
-Prologue(Bernarda Alba)

That is the list at this moment of my thoughts. Come back to me in a month and the prologue of bernarda might not be up there, but some of those are solid favorites I will always love because of the lyrics, music, or impact they have on me.

Personally, I can't say these are my favorites of all time. My favorites change all the time depending on my moods, environment, etc. There are also great songs from classics that while I love, have heard so many times that I may not want to hear for a while.
