Cry Me River - I loved the TV series,McCallum with John Hannah, that used it as its theme song.
I like Julie London, Susan Boyle and Barbara Streisand singing it.

Back at POOH Corner by Kenny Loggins....My oldest son used to make me play it over and over when he was 2......He picked that song for us to dance to at his wedding......OMG talk about tears of JOY :!:

I only have eyes for you by (i think) Bobby Vinton is my favorite love song.

Jessica by The Allman Brothers is my favorite driving feel good song

Blue Sky by The Allman Brothers is what DH says he feels for me so I love that too.

It's my perfect day from Legally Blonde movie soundtrack is THE best song to listen to on your way to a job interview or work

Into the Mystic By Van Morrison...just a beautiful song

scrappylouisa 04-16-2011 05:22 AM

Danny's Song by Ann Murray. My first love was Danny and the song came out while we was dating. Danny and I never married....we remained friends until his dying day. I lost him Dec. 26, 2004 to complications of ALS.

Everytime I hear the song I'm reminded of the special times we spent together.

House that Built Me, By Miranda Lambert.

Bridge Over Troubled Water - it just has been my favorite since high school. (A really long time)

OOPS~~~another one.
Rock & Roll Waltz by: Scooter Lee

supergma 04-16-2011 07:17 AM

Mine's a hymn; The Old Rugged Cross, because I remember my mom singing it all the time when I was a small child. She couldn't carry a tune in a bucket with a lid, but I miss her song so much. Funny thing, her parrot sang it in the same off-key way.

DogHouseMom 04-16-2011 07:21 AM

You are my kind - Carlos Santana & Seal. Love the lyrics and makes me want to dance.

And have to add In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel.

And (sorry <g>) the acoustic version of Hotel California.

luce321 04-16-2011 08:20 AM

I have so many favorites, but if I had to pick one which is an 'oldie', it would be "An Affair to Remember." The movie, same name, starred Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr a beautiful love story. I just loved Cary Grant, he was so handsome.

Kat Sews 04-16-2011 09:18 AM

This is a really hard question. I could say all of the above. These are some great songs. My favorite tends to change with what day you ask. Right now it would be anything by Jack Johnson or Lecrae.

katzak 04-16-2011 09:41 AM

I have a few favorites, just because they can make me smile: Paradise by the dashboard lights (Meatloaf), Need you now (Lady Antebellum), ANYTHING from the Eagles, Queen, Michael Buble and Chicago. And I just can't forget Disco ... love that era.

The Old Rugged Cross hymn .. I remember being a little girl and having my Dad sing that to me on our way to church.

What memories .....

purplefiend 04-16-2011 09:59 AM

"Sunrise,Sunset" from the movie, "Fiddler on the Roof." It was sung at our wedding.

There are just too many beautiful songs for me to choose and so many of them are already listed here. One of my many favorites 'Here Comes the Sun', the Beatles. I used to sing this to one of my dogs when we walked in the early mornings together :)

Some Day Lady You'll Accompany Me-Eric Clapton this always reminds me of the first time I met my husband it took 10 years for our paths to re-cross then we spent the next 25 together

Patchworkmarion 04-16-2011 12:05 PM

Blueberry Hill by Fats Domino.

My late DH and I would go after work up 99 highway to the little round rock restaurant called Blueberry Hill. We would sit back in a dark and almost hidden booth and eat blueberry pie, listen to Fats Domino on the juke box, and whisper sweet nothings to each other.

Both DH and the restaurant are gone now, both just sweet memories


Lovely song and beautiful memories.

Patchworkmarion 04-16-2011 12:06 PM

Back Home Again-John Denver

butterflies5518 04-16-2011 12:45 PM

"True Love" by Cole Porter and sung by Bing Crosby in the musical "High Society" with Grace Kelly. Loved it since I was 18 months and now at 55 still my favorite.

He Stopped Loving Her Today (George Jones)

I've Got a Mansion

stitchinwitch 04-16-2011 01:39 PM

ANYTHING by the Jackie Gleason orchestra and because it is so relaxing and beautiful

joyce blint 04-16-2011 01:41 PM

Ideally, "Imagination" by John Lennon
and on another side, "Patience" by Guns N Roses

littleone 04-16-2011 01:44 PM

Anything by AJ (Alan Jackson)I am a country music fan.
That being said "Amazing Grace" will always bring me to tears. My best friend had picked this song for her funeral. She died 6 months after being shot by her husband. She's been gone 17 years now and I still miss her.

Radiana 04-16-2011 02:23 PM

"Second Ave" by Tim Moore. It's a song I heard maybe two times on the radio years ago fell in love with it and never heard it again. I was finally able to find it on a cd of 70's love songs. If you're a sucker for unrequited love songs, I think you'll like this.

Sorry, but that was Bob Seger (he wrote the words and music too)

So sorry about your friend. My grandma had this played at her funeral, and it is now also one of my favorite songs. There is a CD called "Celtic Bagpipes" that has a beautiful version of this song.

Sis Phillips12962 04-16-2011 03:33 PM

My favorite also.

Suzi 04-16-2011 04:04 PM

"Love Me" - Elvis. Just because ...............

CarrieAnne 04-16-2011 04:10 PM

I love alot of John Denvers Songs....maybe Annies song.

mrs_uncle_fuzzy 04-16-2011 04:12 PM

Cripple Creek, it remindes me of when my DH and I met in a sailor bar in Groton CT. The DelMar Cafe, in 1978

Rabbit 04-16-2011 04:32 PM

Me too. I even saved the version done on Glee to listen to.

I forgot one . Greensleeves.

I can't count the times I've listened to Greensleeves. My son was in the school band and they played it at every concert from 6th. grade thru high school. Always enjoyed it.
