My favorite Broadway love song is "It Might As Well Be Spring" from Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “State Fair”. To me the song is the perfect marriage of a gorgeous melody and evocative lyrics. I love R&H so much that I actually created whole cabaret called “A Rodgers & Hammerstein Valentine”. Attached is a short clip from the song that I did when I debuted the show (and my R&H album) at 54Below in case their roundup includes any videos.

"Sorry-Grateful." And not JUST because I play that beautiful melody on my flute each night. The words are so honest about REAL love and romance. Relationships are not great all the time, but if it is a true romance it lasts through all the sorry-grateful parts of it. "You're always sorry, you're always grateful, you're always wondering what might have been...then she walks in" just says it all about how that one person can be so irritating and yet integral to your life! THAT is a true romance that lasts!

The song I love around this time of the year. And I think it was Chris Sarandon, my husband, and my first love song together- "My Romance", because the last line is: my romance doesn't need a thing but you.

"I Couldn’t Be with Anyone but You" in Sheldon Harnick’s and Joe Raposo’s musical version if It’s a Wonderful Life. Sheldon is, hands down, my favorite lyricist, and performing this song is the definition of “speaking on pitch”- it’s so eminently actable- I’m obsessed with it.

To me the most romantic Broadway love song would have to be "Unusual Way" from NINE. It is so moving and beautiful, and it talks about how love has no perfect mold. Happy Valentines Day!

"What More Can I Say?" from FALSETTOS. Bill Finn, who isn't the most sentimental guy I've ever met, wrote the most romantic song imaginable!

My favorite Broadway love song would have to be "Tits and Ass" from A CHORUS LINE for obvious reasons. But a close second is "Dancing Queen" from MAMMA MIA!. it always gets me "that mood" if you know what I mean...

I would have to say "With So Little To Be Sure Of" from Anyone Can Whistle. Not only a heartbreakingly beautiful melody, but it captures the essence of right person/wrong time. Also, "It Never Was You" from Weill's Knickerbocker Holiday. Another ballad of love and longing, beautiful and sad. Another tough year, then.....

My pick for most romantic Broadway love song ever written is "Is It Really Me?" from 110 IN THE SHADE. To me it speaks so beautifully of how being in love can change someone. It can change the way you see yourself, making you suddenly feel beautiful and special.

"All I Ask of You" from Andrew Lloyd Webber's THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. Just the aching plea of the song is enough to send shivers through me every time.

You know what, I'm going to say a song that isn't from Broadway - I can't decide between "The Nearness of You" or "What'll I Do?" - they're all very sad...but then again I think it goes back to "If I Loved You" from CAROUSEL. And a good runner up would be "All The Things You Are".

"And This is My Beloved" from KISMET. Besides Borodin's wonderful melody, the lyrics of Robert Wright and George Forrest subtly, yet passionately, describe the indescribable feeling when one meets one's perfect love.

It has to be "Love Sneaks In" from DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS. A Valentine song for the more mature man.

"With Every Breath I Take" from CITY OF ANGELS. What a way to be thinking of someone you love or lost but still love them. I mean, we breathe every second!

My favorite love song is "Every Day a Little Death"... no I'm kidding! My favorite is "If I Loved You". I think it's beautiful. It has a sort of negative take- if, if, if... but you know they are crazy about each other in that moment.

"Hey There" from THE PAJAMA GAME. The reason is because I did a production of that show in High School. I was in the chorus and I was madly in love with the guy...and I love the song!

I have so many favorites, but the first that comes to mind is "I Only Have Eyes for You." Harry Warren and Al Dubin wrote it for 42ND STREET. It's a wonderful, wonderful song that was in and out of the original show (I know that Dolores Gray sang it at one point), but it was definitely in the arrival. I also love "It Only Takes a Moment" from HELLO, DOLLY! Jerry Herman is my personal favorite!

"Not While I'm Around" because Barbra Streisand sang the fool out of it. It's also such a powerful song about devotion, protection and love.

"Sun And Moon" from Miss Saigon. The message of this song for me is that love conquers all. No matter who you are, where you are or what you believe, "Sun and Moon" shows us that love is the thing that binds us all together in the end. And what could be more romantic than that!

"Maria" from WEST SIDE STORY! Oh, it kills me!

There are soooo many beautiful romantic Broadway songs that I don't know where to begin! It's a toss up between "I Enjoy Being a Girl," "The Cowman and the Farmer Should be Friends," and "Blow Gabriel Blow." I'm kidding, I'd have to go with "I Got Lost in His Arms". Happy Valentine's Day to all young and old lovers whoever you are.

Easy! "Some Enchanted Evening." Because when it's done by the right person with the right voice it transports all of us to that moment when we first spotted someone we found perfect -whether it was in a crowded restaurant or subway. R&H hit emotional heights with this one.

Oh so many wonderful songs. "Embraceable You," "I Got Lost in His Arms" (Annie Get Your Gun), "My Romance," but the favorite would have to be Irving Berlins "Always." It was sung at Thom and my wedding reception.

"Till There Was You" from THE MUSIC MAN is my favorite Broadway love song because it reminds me of when my partner Phil Ford and I were discovered by Jack Paar. I was able to sing it to the world on THE TONIGHT SHOW while reaching for Phil's hand, which brought tears to Jack's eyes, as well as mine. Recording it in 1958 was the icing on the cake!

Hands down my favorite Broadway love song is “Till There was You” from The Music Man by the great Meredith Willson. To me it is the ultimate musical celebration of the sense of wonder and discovery you feel in the world once your own true love has entered and captured your heart and mind.

"And This is My Beloved" from KISMET because I had such a crush on Alfred Drake.

"Some Enchanted Evening". It speaks to the irrationality of love, how fleeting it can be, and how you have to dive in, eyes wide shut and trust you heart. Love doesn?t always make sense. If you let your mind take over you can talk yourself out of anything. Happy Valentines Day!

"So in Love" from KISS ME, KATE. It breaks my heart and wrenches my stomach every time I hear the words "So taunt me, and hurt me, deceive me, desert me. I'm yours till I die." You may say it's masochistic, but I say it's desperate, undying love (Je t'aime toujours, Aaron)!

"Bill" with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and Music by Jerome Kern from SHOWBOAT. This song beautifully demonstrates how love can be inexplicable - beyond words, beyond rationale. Sure, the singer can't list one good reason (looks, skills, smarts) why she loves Bill; yes, it may be unfounded on paper, but that's what makes this particular love all the more selfless and generous.

"Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" from PAL JOEY
