For the romantic at heart . . .

here's one that has stayed with me since it came out....

Savage Garden's "Stand With You on a Mountain"

From "South Pacific"

Some enchanted evening you may see a stranger
You may see a stranger across a crowded room
and somehow you know, you know even then
that someday you'll see her again and again.

and then, of course from Casablanca,

"of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine."

and last a song that REALLY shows my age and overwhelming lameness
from David Cassidy (and the Partridge Family)

I think I love you
so what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
a love there is no cure for.

GAWD, I'm pathetic. (turning in my "man card" now)

Ok so it took me a while to think about this, and well, I kept going back to a memory of the love of my life singing to me a few songs, and he even made up a poem for me and created a dorky dance for it. Crazy for a retired Army Msgt right, so it had to be love.

So now when I think of love songs, its nothing slow, its the song "Do you love me" by KISS...

and my other personal is "You had me from hello" again, pertaining to the same person.

I believe in Love at first sight. I believe you know....

I'm not all that fond of the melody, but the lyrics certainly describe, with precision, my preferred method of expressing affection to a lady:

"As the midnight moon was drifting through
The lazy sway of the trees
I saw the look in your eyes looking into mine
Seeing what you wanted to see
Darlin' don't say a word 'cos I already heard
What your body's saying to mine
I'm tired of fast moves, I've got a slow groove
On my mind

I want a man with a slow hand
I want a lover with an easy touch
I want somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I want somebody who will understand
When it comes to love I want a slow hand

On shadowed ground with no one around
And a blanket of stars in our eyes
We are drifting free, like two lost leaves
On the crazy wind of the night
Darlin' don't say a word 'cos I already heard
What your body's saying to mine
If I want it all night, you say it's alright
We got the time

'Cos I got a man with a slow hand
I got a lover with an easy touch
I've found somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I've found somebody who will understand
When it comes to love I want a slow hand

If I want it all night, please say it's alright
It's not a fast move but a slow groove
On my mind

'Cos I got a man with a slow hand
I got a lover with an easy touch
I've found somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I've found somebody who will understand
I've found a lover with a slow hand

Lover with a slow hand
And I get all excited with his easy touch
I've found somebody who will spend the night
Not come and go in a heated rush"
