What are the greatest love songs ever?
I am putting together a Valentines CD for my wife. I need some really romantic songs (I am a more of a punk type of a guy, but that won't work).
Any ideas?

Anything Barry White
Pour Some Sugar On Me (in the name of love!)
Etta James: "At Last"
Sad she passed away. That was my wedding dance song.
But then, I saw a wedding where the groom danced with his mother to Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters"
I'm sure your wife will appreciate that.
If you google 'wedding songs', you'll get all you need.
Also one of the greatest songs ever.
Love and Happiness Al Green
When a Man Loves a Woman Percy Sledge
@pallazzo: My wife and I played "At Last" at our as well, its a classic.
I'll Be There For You - Bon Jovi
Natural High - Bloodstone
Any era? Any kinds of music she just cannot tolerate?
Some older ones I never tire of:
Split Enz - Message to My Girl
Enzo version w. orchestra is slower & pretty, if she is into that style - singing from about 1:40
Roxy Music - More Than This or Avalon
Zero 7 - Destiny
light some candles, scatter rose pedals from the door to the dining table which has a place setting for two, and as she walks in play this at 400 decibels:
Nobody has mentioned any classical music - Liebestraum No.3 by Lizst

(Liebestraum means "Love Dream")

Let's Stay Together ~ Al Green
Almost anything by Elton John.
No matter what you choose she will love it because it really is the thought that counts :-)
The Barney song... "I love you, You love me..."
Somebody to Love - Queen
Most of my music involves getting your heart broken, but I'll give you some of my favorites if you're looking for something very far off from the ordinary love songs.
Man Man - Doo Right IMHO A great opener or closer track
Spencer Krug and Dan Boeckner have nice ones off their first album together
I'll believe in Anything - Wolf Parade (spencer) That's the most romantic song I have ever heard ever (but many have disagreed with me so I'm obviously wrong)
This Hearts on Fire - Wolf Parade (Dan)
69 love songs by magnetic fields is always great fodder when I'm looking for a love song to put in a mix cd for my sweetheart.
I could give you a lot more suggestions but if you don't like any of those then I'm not going to build up a list.
