25 Greatest Love Songs

Ranked #1,600 in Music, #44,727 overall

My Pick for the 25 Best Love Songs of All Time

Love songs are often used by couples who can't quite find the right words to tell each other their feelings. Weddings always include the bride's and groom's favorite love songs, probably those same songs they used to express their feelings when they didn't have the words to say themselves.

I have compiled here my list of what I think are THE 25 best love songs of all time, from today's hits to yesterdays classics.

Maybe one day you will be looking for just the words to tell your sweetheart, or maybe you will be looking for the perfect song to dance to when you become husband and wife. I hope this list can help you find "just the right words."

#1 I Will Always Love You

by Dolly Parton

With the recent passing of Whitney this song is once again on the top of the all time greatest Love Songs of all Time. We will miss your wonderful voice Whitney Houston

This one is a tough pick because it has a break up component to it, but they do it out of love and it is one of my all time favorites. I still think the original by Dolly Parton is better than Whitney Houston's version but that is just my opinion

Track Artist Album  
I Will Always Love You Whitney Houston Whitney - The Greatest Hits
I Will Always Love You Whitney Houston The Bodyguard (Original Soundtrack Album)

And the original version by Dolly Parton
