hmmm…..
A good question to ask on Valentine’s Day is: What is your favorite love song? I’m not talking about break-up love songs like “Someone Like You” by Adele. I am thinking more of classic songs – the ones you think of as “old school” but somehow have endured the test of time.
What are the ones you still hear … in jewelry commercials and when you are hanging out in the dentist’s office? Stevie Wonder’s got a couple: “I Just Called to Say I Love You” and “You are the Sunshine of My Life”. Then there is one that especially comes to mind as we remember Whitney Houston’s musical career: “I Will Always Love You”. That song was actually written by Dolly Parton, who does a not half bad rendition of the song herself.
Willie Nelson’s ‘You Were Always on my Mind” qualifies as a love song, although, given the lyrics, I wouldn’t want to be loved by someone who just thought about me, but took no action. There’s two classics that are hard to forget: "Are You Lonely Tonight” and “Love Me Tender” by Elvis Presley.
“You Are So Beautiful” was first sung by Joe Cocker but my favorite version is by a Texas Hill country artist: Stoney Larue. You can find it on you-tube or probably iTunes.
I am guessing that you have your own favorites, just depending on the generation you come from … but no matter what you favorite, share it with your sweetie today – guaranteed they will love it!
hmmm…..
