Nowadays, songs have a role to play in almost every sphere of human activity. What better way to remember the best ones then to reminisce about what made them so wonderful?
If the road ahead is not so easy,
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I’ll be there for you if you should need me
You don’t have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I’ll help you see forever too
(Repeat Chorus 1)
(Repeat Chorus 2)
(Repeat Chorus 3)
(Repeat Chorus 2) (2X)
(Repeat Chorus 3)
(Repeat Chorus 2)
“I Will Always Love You” is a song written by Dolly Parton in 1973 but was first released a year later. It is a song recorded by American singer, Whitney Houston. In 1982, this song was re-recorded to be included on the soundtrack for the film of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. CMT had ranked this song as the sixteen best songs on their 100 Greatest Songs in Country Music in 2003. You can listen to this song here.
If I should stay..
Well I would only be in your way…
And so I’ll go and yet I know..
That I’ll think of you
Each step of my way…
And I will always love you..
I will always love you..
Bittersweet memories..
That’s all I have and
All I’m taking with me..
So goodbye, please don’t cry..
Cause we both know that
I’m not what you need…
But I will always love you..
I will always love you..
And I hope life will treat you kind..
And I hope that you have
All you ever dreamed of..
Oh, I do wish you joy..
And I wish you happiness..
But above all this, I wish you love..
I love you..
I will always love you…
I, I will always, always love you..
I will always love you..
I will always love you…
I will always….
“The Sound of Silence” is a song written by Paul Simon in 1963. The lyric reflects an emotional trauma that can be felt by anyone who listens to this song. It was originally recorded as an acoustic guitar piece on the first album of Simon and Garfunkel, Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. Later, in 1966, this song was included in the album of Sounds of Silence. This song has been used in the films of Bobby and The Graduate. You can listen to this song here.

nice list of love songs plus a folksong, i know all these songs they were all big hits, i’m just wondering what that picture of album by the Eagles is all about, hotel california is one of my favorite though,it’s a lot of fun singing it while strumming the guitar…thanks Chan
IcyCucky June 23rd, 2008 at 11:52 am
This is truly an awesome list..I enjoy it!
Moses Ingram June 23rd, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Some very good songs here, I like your list.
Judy Sheldon June 23rd, 2008 at 8:35 pm
Great list. Thanks, Chan. These were very enjoyable. Music is such a nice diversion, therapeutic, as you stated.
lanne June 23rd, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Nice list Chan. I Will Always Love You though, is a Dolly Parton song. And although the words themselves are beautiful, the reason behind Dolly writing it is a complete tear jerker.
KathySpring June 24th, 2008 at 3:27 am
Great Job, I love Celion Dion as an artist. My first favorite song I ever had was my heart will gone on and also love will move mountians which just happens to be by her as well.

avix December 11th, 2008 at 2:29 am
Excellent selection … only 1 could have been added to make the list perfectly complete …. without John Lenon (Beatles) probably no list of all time best love song should have been completed!

Johanan Rakkav July 3rd, 2010 at 12:03 pm
That’s indeed an awesome list, but like all such lists it’s highly subjective. Many (myself included) would argue that no such list would be complete without The Moody Blues’ “Nights In White Satin” and Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven”. Closer to the present, there’s Dan Fogelberg’s “Longer”. What about John Denver’s “Rocky Mountain High”? Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America”? Sting’s “Fields of Gold”? Weird Al Yankovic’s “White and Nerdy” or “Amish Paradise”? “All I Ask of You” from “Phantom of the Opera”? “Send in the Clowns”? The list could go on and on…and on… rather like Celine Dion’s lyrics.

rifhana ilham October 26th, 2010 at 10:59 am
my top ten
1. true- Spandau Ballet
2. Careless Whisper – George Micheal
3. Everybreath U take- Police
4. Billie Jean- Micheal Jackson
5.My Heart Will go on – Celine Dion
6. Imagine – John Lennon
7. Never Gonna Give u Up- Rick Astley
8. Greatest Love of all – Whitney Houston
9. Take My Breath Away- Berlin
10.Fallin- Alicia Keys
I based my list on the overall uniqueness of the song’s melody and words. U just hear the opening music and you will straight away know the song.
evviesands October 27th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
Wow, lovely songs all of them. I think I’ve heard “Nothing’s gonna change my love for you in Spanish, though dunno who sang it.
BTW, isn’t “Without You” originally by Air Supply? or so I thought. The versions by Air Supply and Mariah Carey are the ones that comes to my mind.
And, why 9 and not 10? You really left me wanting more when I saw the “Hotel California” cover!
Of course, everyone has the right to come up with their own list, whether we agree with this one or not, so, why don’t you write an article too? In fact, I think this article has inspired to writr my own.
Rameez November 5th, 2010 at 5:48 am
