"Someone to Watch Over Me," by the Gershwins. Nowadays everyone's obsessed with being "strong," but this simple ballad cuts right to the fear, vulnerability, and longing that we all feel, ultimately, underneath those proclamations of strength.

I think my choice would be “If I could tell Her” from Dear Evan Hansen. It’s the first musical my daughter fell in love with, and first song she memorized. I love Hansen’s awkward confession of love for Zoe, using her the memory of her dead brother. I know it’s off beat, but totally comedic and endearing. Happy Valentine’s Day!

"In Buddy's Eyes," from Follies

"I Got Lost In His Arms" from Annie Get Your Gun. Beautiful melody about the vulnerable surrender and indescribable nature of falling in love.

Adam Guettel's "Hero and Leander" is one of my favorite love songs of all time. It tells the story of the myth of Hero swimming across the river every night to meet his lover and one night in a storm he drowns in the waves. It expresses all of the passion of a true love affair.

"What I Did For Love" from A Chorus Line. I love this song for its multiple meanings. It could very well tell the story of a romantic relationship — a person honoring the past, while bravely looking forward to the future. And, at the same time, it tells the story of sacrifice and joy that artists make as they pursue a life in the theatre. … and also, I may have had my first kiss when this song was playing the background

"Till There Was You." Not only are the lyrics to this song brilliant and all-encompassing, but the bridge of the song where he talks about the sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew is a perfect melding of melody, lyric, and movement. The way that the melody leads the chord progression to that perfect beautiful moment where he raises the fifth and hangs suspended there for a brief second is unparalleled in almost any song ever, let alone a Broadway song. I have to give it up to Mr. Wilson. Not only is he a man called Meredith, but the guy could write!

"I Will Never Leave You" from SIDESHOW.

"I've Never Said I Love You" from Dear World. The song was blaring in my head when I first said those words (at the tender age of 29). ("Kiss Her Now," also from Dear World, blared in my head during my first kiss, but for a slight change of pronouns.)

My favorite Broadway love song is “All I Ask of You” from Phantom of the Opera because it’s my favorite Andrew Lloyd Webber show, and I probably listen to that one on repeat the most.

"Say it Somehow" from Light in the Piazza. Love is the ultimate universal language. Also, because Matthew Morrison.

Though it's from an off-Broadway show, THE FANTASTICKS, the song "They Were You" is my favorite love song. It is sung after Matt and Luisa have been hurt and taken advantage of, and this make their love even stronger and more pure. It is so beautiful!

For 2009, I'm gonna go with the Comden/Green/Styne "Make Someone Happy." In an austerity year, it's nice to have a good, schmaltzy ballad to plant your feet and lay into. In a year of paradox, its philosophy is simultaneously simple and fraught with complications. In a time of big national ambition, it's a good, solid personal goal.

I'd say "I Have A Love" from WEST SIDE STORY. When the harmonys are pitch perfect, it can still bring a tear to my eye...50 years later.

To pick one love song is tough, but if there is one thing I have learned about love- it is that it isn’t easy or magic. It is real, messy, simple, complicated and a choice. I think that is beautifully human. So I choose "Marry Me a Little." Marry me a little, Love me just enough. Warm and sweet and easy, Just the simple stuff. Keep a tender distance So we'll both be free. That's the way it ought to be. I’m ready. I’m ready now. Sondheim is such a genius with the way he captures the essence of love. Complicated, simple, and a choice.

"Embraceable You." Especially when sung slowly. Listen to Nat or Billie- yummy. Love the lyrics. "You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me." Plus it has the word "naughty." And ya gotta have a little "naughty" on Valentine's Day, don't ya think?

I don't know why, but "Thank Goodness" from Wicked. I mean, it's like, it's a love song to herself and to Elphaba. It's so layered that song...

It's got to be "If I Loved You" from Carousel. It's just such a classic.

"Can You Feel the Love Tonight"- The Lion King. Hands down this is the most romantic, catchy, and love-filled song on Broadway. Those lions love each other so much! And those harmonies? I mean, come on!

'Moonfall'

"Unexpected Song" from Song and Dance. Andrew Lloyd Webber, I love it.

That's a tricky question, but I really love "If I Loved You" from Carousel. It makes my heart explode! I think we've all at one point in our lives had feelings for someone and been without any idea how to explain it to them. It's so beautiful! Especially when Patrick Wilson sings it... :)

"Some Enchanted Evening" from SOUTH PACIFIC

My favorite Broadway love song is Rodgers + Hammerstein's classic from Carousel, "If I Loved You." I sang it to my wife. She's still with me for 25 years. Oh my god, I don't know why! But, yes. Yeah, that's, I mean, that's a classic and that's what we're doing in Rocktopia: you can't deny a classic.

It's "Burn" because the melody is so clever and the lyrics are so true to the story. It's very fun to sing.

"Anything But Lonely" from Aspects of Love - Because for the eighth year in a row I'm mostly likely going to be spending Valentine's Day on my couch eating ice cream and watching Steel Magnolias.

I have many, but for the sake of giving one answer I would say "Il Mondo Era Vuoto" from Light in the Piazza.

“All I Care About Is Love” from Chicago. It was the first musical I’d ever been a part of. It changed my life forever. One of the grandest displays of glamour! -, ON SUGARLAND

My favorite Broadway Love Song is an oldie but a goodie. From Romance/Romance, "Words He Doesn’t Say" is a beautiful, sad song about the desire to demonstrate the facets of love to someone whose heart belongs to someone else, even though it probably shouldn't.

My favorite Broadway love song is "Helpless" from Hamilton It changes my day the minute I hear the first few notes. The song reminds you of the first moment you feel in love every single time.
