1. Love Sonnet XVII by Pablo Neruda – The first time I came across this poem was in the movie Patch Adam. My favorite lines from the poem are, “I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I don’t know any other way of loving.”

2. Sonnet XLIII by Elizabeth Barrett Browning – “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight…”

3. A Beautiful Poem – “So, if you love me, don’t just sing me a song; teach me to sing, for when I am alone I will need the melody”

The love songs include:

1. Love Me by Colin Raye – This is a beautiful love song which tells the love story of a boy’s grandparents. One of my all time favorites.

2. The Way You Look At Me by Christian Bautista – A beautiful song performed by a very talented Filipino Singer, Christian Bautista.

While searching for the videos of the love songs, I came across another one of my favorite. The first time I heard of She, by Elvis Costello, it was from the movie Notting Hill. I fell in love with the song instantly. This is one of the songs which I would personally choose as a wedding song. According to Wikipedia, “She” is the title of a song written, recorded and released by Charles Aznavour and Herbert Kretzmer and it reached number 1 in the UK single charts in 1974, but was not successful in the USA or France. The song was even recorded in several different languages aside from English, namely French and Italian, as well as Spanish and German.

She by Elvis Costello

She
May be the face I can’t forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She
May be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day

She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

She
Who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one’s allowed to see them when they cry
She
May be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I’ll remember till the day I die

She
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I’m alive
The one I’ll care for through the rough in ready years
Me
I’ll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I’ve got to be
The meaning of my life is

She
She, oh she
