So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?

I believe the CHESS song you're in reference to is called "Someone Else's Story," which is only on the Broadway version, but nonetheless is a great song!

I agree with "My Heart is So Full of You" from The Most Happy Fella. It always brings tears to my eyes.
"I Have Dreamed" from The King and I - The music alone is so romantic that it was used as the first dance in the film "The American President"

I have a few...but the main two are
Sun and Moon (Miss Saigon)
it really shows the difference between Kim and Chris, and how much they love eachother. And evertime the guy who plays Chris hits the F# (I think thats what it is) it makes me melt, the harmony is superb.
And I know I'm gonna be bashed for this but I dont care...
"As Long As You're Mine" (WICKED)
It shows how Fiyero and Elphaba dont have a long time to announce their love to eachother, and they are against so many people now, but they still love eachother and they cherish the moment. And the music is so, haunting and dark.

"Far From the Home I love" Fiddler on the roof---she's willing to leave her family to be with the guy she loves!
"A Little Fall of Rain" Les Miserables---Eponine finally gets her kiss
"All I ask of you" Phantom of the Opera---very romantic except for the end, when Raoul says "I love you!" and Christine replies with "Order your fine horses!" That boy is whipped!
"My White Knight" from The Music Man---sounds like a pretty great guy that Marian's thinking of.
"Almost Like Being in Love" from Brigadoon, although when we did this show in h.s. we always sang it as "It was almost like being on drugs!"

"TONIGHT" from West Side Story, and "IF EVER I WOULD LEAVE YOU" from Camelot.
Sorry if they've been said to death already. My kickboxing coach just busted our butts and my arm is too sore to scroll through the other replies....

I do love "I Won't Send Roses" and "Time Heals Everything."
Jewishboy, "Love Can't Happen" is indeed incredibly romantic/sad, I love David Carroll's rendition in the cast recording's bonus track.
These are some great choices, some I have never heard before so I'm browsing iTunes and getting a dosage of romance tonight :)

Other:
So In Love (Kiss Me Kate)
On My Own (Les Miz)
Marry Me a Little (Company) is that really a love song? oh well.
Can't Take My Eyes off of You (Jersey Boys)
I Have Dreamed (The King and I)

Question: Does anyone know who sings "Shouldn't I Be Less In Love With You?" on the I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE cast recording. I bought the song off iTunes (thanks Craig, great suggestion) but can't figure out who sings it.
I'm not a big fan of THE SECRET GARDEN cast recording, I went back to it after the suggestions on this board and it still leaves me cold. Might be my distaste for Rebecca Luker though, oh well.
I did download the songs someone suggested from FALSETTOLAND and they are really romantic and touching.
I also bought like three versions of "My Heart Is So Full Of You."

""On the Street Where You Live" - My Fair Lady"
I don't find this song romantic at all - but it could become the stalkers "national anthem".

Kind old but I really love these two songs from Rodgers & Hart's I MARRIED AN ANGEL..
1. I'll Tell The Man in the Street
2. I Married an Angel.
^^^songs remind me of Chris

How about "Wicked Little Town" from Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Listen to the words carefully, they really are quite beautiful. (The reprise at the end is gorgeous.)
"I Know Him So Well" from Chess, too.
Thanks to whoever corrected me on the other Chess song. I do love it, I just can't remember the title ever.
