For a change of topics, how about a discussion of romantic songs or 
favorite songs that could be considered to be romantic.  :-)  

One song that has to be at the top of my list of romantic songs is
"Evergreen" by Barbara Streisand.  A few other favorites that are by
Dan Fogelberg are "Since You've Asked", "Longer", and "Anyway I Love
You".  A recent song that I also consider to be romantic is "Beauty 
And The Beast" from the movie.  Some of my old favorites are many of
the songs from the "Best Of Bread" album.  :-)   

A recording or cd that I've often thought could be good for setting
a romantic mood is the "Classical Gas" recording by Mannheim Steamroller
and Mason Williams.  Some of the Windham Hill recordings also may have
some good romantic possibilities.   :-)  Another interesting possibility
could be the Windham Hill music videos, with a combination of natural
scenery and Windham Hill music.  :-)

Following is the lyrics to the Dan Fogelberg songs:

SINCE   YOU'VE   ASKED   -  from Dan Fogelberg & Tim Weisberg
                               "Twin Sons of Different Mothers" 

What I'll give you
Since you asked
Is all my time together
Take the rugged sunny days
The warm and rocky weather
Take the roads that I have walked
Looking for tomorrow's time
Peace of mind --

As you life spills into mine
Changing with the seasons
Filling up the world with time
Change time to reasons
I can show you all the songs
That I never sang to someone before

We have seen a million stars
Lying by the water
You have climbed the hills with me
To the mountain shelter
Taking off the days
One by one
Setting them to breath
In the sun

Take the lilies and the Lace
From the days of childhood
All the willow winding paths
Leading up and outward
This is what I give
This is what I ask you for
Nothing more.



LONGER                   -  from Dan Fogelberg 
                               "Phoenix" 

Longer than there've been fishes
  in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars
  up in the heavens
I've been in love with you.

Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you.

I'll bring fire in the winters 
You'll send showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings 

Through the years as the fire
  starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and
  the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you.

Longer than there've been fishes
  in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars
  up in the heavens
I've been in love with you.
I am in love with you.  



ANYWAY  I  LOVE  YOU     -  from Dan Fogelberg 
                               "Home Free" 

Here's another little song for you. 
I hope you'll listen to it well.
Means no different than the others do
And it won't change you I can tell.

Anyway, I love you
Every day I get more sure
Anyway, I love you
More and more and more and more
  and more. 

I have so much I can offer you
More to please you with than most.
But trying to tie you down is harder
  than
Trying to hold on to a ghost. 

      chorus 

So if you ever feel a need for me
Let it carry you along
Don't be shy and try to hold it down
Cause what you feel just can't be wrong.
