If tomorrow is judgment day
And I’m standing on the front line
And the Lord asks me what I did with my life
I will say I spent it with you.

Whitney HoustonMy Love Is Your Love

2.

I don’t need a lot of things,
I can get by with nothing
Of all the blessings life can bring,
I’ve always needed something
But I’ve got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You’re my only reason,
You’re my only truth.

Leann Rimes, I Need You

3.

I love you
Is all that you can’t say
Years gone by and still
Words don’t come easily
Like I love you, I love you

But you can say baby
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
At the right time, you’d be mine.

Tracy Chapman, Baby Can I Hold You

4.

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that’s the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.

Seal, Kiss From A Rose

5.

When the skies are gray and all the doors are closing
And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe
When all I need’s a hand to stop the tears from falling
I will find him, I’ll find him next to me.

Emili SandéNext To Me

6.

Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that’s the only way to prove you love them

Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be
With no one to share, with no one who truly cares for me.

Alicia Keys, If I Ain’t Got You

7.

Ah, you coulda make a brother sing,
You ordinary thing, a supernatural being,
I know you are just brighter than the moon
Brighter than the star, I love you just the way you are.

2 Face Idibia, African Queen

8.

I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it’s cold outside, I’ve got the month of May
I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way?

My girl, my girl, my girl
Talkin’ ’bout my girl
My girl.

The Temptations, My Girl

9.

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret.
The winds of change are blowing wild and free,
You ain’t seen nothing like me yet.

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn’t do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love.

Adele, Make You Feel My Love

10.

But nothing’s greater than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I’m going crazy, maybe, maybe.

Leona Lewis, Keep Bleeding Love

11.

When I get older,
I’ll jump up to the sky and talk to the stars about you
When I get deeper,
I’ll dive to the bottom of the seas and get these pearls for you
Baby

Cause I got one loooooooooove
And I can love u for the rest of my life.

Kaysha, One Love

12.

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more.

Christina Perri, A Thousand Years

13.

Could it be I’m suffering
Because I’ll never give in?
Won’t say that I’m falling in love
Tell me I don’t seem myself
Couldn’t I blame something else?

Just don’t say I’m falling in love.

Corinne Bailey Rae, Trouble Sleeping

14.

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired.

Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But you’re the key to my peace of mind.

‘Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman.

Aretha Franklin, (You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman

15.

You with the sad eyes
Don’t be discouraged
Oh I realize
Its hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small.

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow.

Cyndi Lauper, True Colors

16.

Treated me kind
Sweet destiny
Carried me through desperation
To the one that was waiting for me
It took so long
Still I believed
Somehow the one that I needed
Would find me eventually

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you’ve given to me.

Mariah Carey, Vision of Love

17.

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song.

Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can’t tempt us, with their lies.

I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won’t you try to come?

Norah Jones, Come Away With Me

18.

‘Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning
‘Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh.

John Legend, All Of Me

19.

I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love.
From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,
My heart says follow t’rough.
But I know, now, that I’m way down on your line,
But the waitin’ feel is fine:
So don’t treat me like a puppet on a string,
‘Cause I know I have to do my thing.
Don’t talk to me as if you think I’m dumb;
I wanna know when you’re gonna come – soon.

Bob Marley, Waiting In Vain

20.

Easy like Sunday morning
Like an angel calling
He taking me all in
I’m embracing him with my skin
Like a glimmer of light
Like a vision of life
And he’s so perfect I couldn’t picture him if I tried.

See some may come
Some may go
But I’ll follow you wherever, you’re the perfect mate for my soul
And I know why I lose control whenever I’m around you cause you given me…

Your hand
And that’s more than enough
Your glance
Is like jumping in the river of
Jordan
Purify me baby.
