As Valentine’s Day approaches, many couples will be tuning into their own song. You know the ones. They stop you dead in your tracks whether you’re in a store or listening to a radio, and you think that song so describes your relationship. Here is a list of love songs that might just represent that relationship.
Couple 1 These songs are for a couple that has just gotten together and they spend every minute thinking and being with that other person.
“Crazy for You” by Madonna – The chorus line says what every new couple is feeling.
“I’m crazy for you, touch me once and you’ll know it’s true
I never wanted anyone like this
It’s all brand new. You’ll feel it in my kiss
I’m crazy for you”
“You & Me” by Lifehouse – This song says it all about being so captivated by each other that time flies by. Yet, in a crowded room full of people all you see is each other because your love is new.
“What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can’t keep up and I can’t back down
I’ve been losing so much time
‘Cause it’s you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it’s you and me and all of the people
And I don’t know why I can’t keep my eyes of off you.”
Couple 2 These songs are for a couple going through rough times. Whether the couple is going through a trial separation or facing an illness together, these two songs say it all.
“Teach Me” by Musical Soulchild – This song fits the situation of hitting rock bottom in a relationship and trying to work out the problems that a couple may face.
“Girl, I know I lack affection and expressing my feelings, it took me a minute to come and admit this but see I’m really tryin to change now
Wanna love you betta, show me how, I’m tryin desperately, baby please work with me”
“Ever the Same” by Rob Thomas- This song is perfect for a couple that is struggling with an illness or any other obstacle that a couple will need to face in a relationship.
“Fall on me tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same
Call on me
I’ll be there for you and you’ll be there for me
Forever it’s you
Forever in me
Ever the same”
Couple 3 These songs are for a couple that’s been together forever and who are completely inseparable.
“Everything” by Lifehouse – These lyrics express that whether you have been in a long term relationship or married for a long time, you still mean everything to that other person.
“You are the strength that keeps me walking
You are the hope that keeps me trusting
You are the life to my soul.
You are my purpose
You’re Everything”
“The Book of Love” by Peter Gabriel – If you have been in a long term relationship or marriage it’s the little things that you do for each other that keep you together.
“The Book of Love is long and boring
Nobody can lift the damn thing
It’s full of charts and facts and figures, and instructions for dancing
But I love it when you read to me
And you can read me anything.”
Couple 4 These songs are for friends that are too afraid to take the next step.
“Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop” by Landon Pigg – This song says it all about how a guy thinks he’s possibly falling for his friend.
“I think that possibly maybe I’m falling for you
Yes, there’s a chance that I’ve fallen quite hard over you
I’ve seen the paths that your eyes wander down, I wanna come too
I think that possibly maybe I’m falling for you.”
“Can’t Fight This Feeling” by REO Speedwagon – This song from the ‘80s is all about fighting the urge to be with your best friend.
“I can’t fight this feeling any longer
And yet I’m still afraid to let it show
What started out, as friendship has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show.”
Couple 5 These songs are for a couple whose relationship is kept a secret.
“Secret Lovers” by Atlantic Starr – This song is about a couple that knows they shouldn’t be together, but they are anyway even though they belong to someone else.
“Here we are, Just the two of us together
Taking this crazy chance to be all alone
We both know that we should not be together
Cause if we’re found out, it could mess up both of our happy homes.”
“If Walls Could Talk” by Celine Dion – This song is about a couple that wants no one to know they are together and, in a sense, the only one that knows they are together are the walls of the room they share.
“Can you keep a secret?
These walls keep a secret
That only we know
But how long can they keep it?
‘Cause we’re two lovers, we lose control
We’re two shadows
Chasing rainbows
Behind closed windows
Behind closed doors”
“If walls could talk
Oooh… They would say I want you more
They would say
Hey… ever felt like this before?
That you’ll always be the one for me.”
All of these songs are available on iTunes except for “The Book of Love” which can be found on the “Shall we Dance” movie soundtrack.
