". . . my gift is my song and this one's for you"- Elton John

OK just so that Tameka and Piper and whoever else who might have been too afraid to comment on my anti -love song post, don't think I'm a total Valentine's day Scrooge I have come up with this little list to counter balance the other, I hope that post didn't give you all the wrong impression, It was meant to be funny and sarcastic, but maybe not my finest attempt! Anyway, I have no intention of sitting home Saturday, I have a singles ward dance to DJ, and I don't even think they make bon bons anymore so those fake plans aren't even really possible!

All of you who have Romantic shenanigans planned with that special someone tomorrow, you may want to light some candles, turn the lights down low, and set the mood with these greatest love songs according to Emily!

If you are a soft rock fan may I suggest. . . .

1. The Best of Times- Styx

Simply put. . . ."The Best of times, are when I'm alone with you!"

isn't that tender?

2. Into the Mystic- Van Morrison

"I Wanna Rock Your Gypsy Soul!" I don't know what that means but it sounds romantic. . . .right?

PS, not the best cover, but Van was no where to be found on YouTube, I suggest you find a way to hear the original!

3. I'll stand By You- The Pretenders

"nothing You Confess, could make me love you less!"

4. Trouble- Ray Lamontagne

". . . Well I've been, saved by a woman!"

I ask you. . . what girl wouldn't want this song sung to her?

5. Arms of a Woman- Amos Lee

"thousand miles from the place I was born, when she wakes me, she takes me back home!"

I don't understand why this guy isn't more famous, Amos Lee sings to my heart!
