My husband sings to me every night right before we go to bed... here are some of my favorites (Some are rather obscure, and some aren't quite modern, but they're all pretty romantic)

Annie's Song -- John Denver -- possibly the most romantic song I know.

In My Life -- The Beatles

Ice Cream -- Sarah McLachlin

Eternal Flame -- The Bangles

Always -- Irving Berlin (Don't know who has recorded it)

Just The Way You Look Tonight -- Frank Sinatra (though many others have recorded it as well... I like Fred Astaire's version)

Mamma Mamma -- Fruit

Kiss Me on the Moon -- The Neilds

In Your Eyes -- Peter Gabriel

Power of Two -- Indigo Girls (another of the most romantic songs I can think of)

I could go on, but I hear my sweetie coming down from putting the kids to bed, and it's time to be romantic :-)

Ozzy has some amazing love songs--we played I Just Want You at our wedding reception, but I LOVE Lay Your World on Me and I'm Here For You. I wish those had been around when we got married, but they'd be awesome anniversary songs. :)

I also love Devin Townsend's Ih-Ah! from Addicted. I find the best love songs are from Metal albums.

Etta James "At Last".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1uunRdQ61M&feature=yo...

Lyrics:
At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
At last the skies above are blue
And my heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream that I can speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
You smiled, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
And you are mine at last
&

Dennis Quaid "Closer to You" from the movie "The Big Easy" I don't know if you would consider it romantic....but definitely sexy!

http://www.amazon.com/Big-Easy-Original-Picture-Soundtrac...

The lyrics are...

Lace curtain blowing on a river breeze,
slips across the bed and it rustles the sheets,
Seems everything I did, just reminds me of you,

Smell of the morning, in a rainy land,
the touch of satin across my hand,
just makes me wish I, wish I coud be,

closer to you,
closer to you,
wrapped in your loving arms,
holding me tight,

closer to you,
closer to you,
whispering baby, baby, deep in the night,

If I said that I loved you, would you turn away,
afraid of what you think your supposed to say,
well thats allright baby,
cause I already know,

I can see it in your eyes, I can hear it in your voice,
believe my baby, we've got no choice,
come here, come here, come here, to me,

got to be closer to you,
closer to you,
wrapped in your loving arms,
holding me tight,

want to be closer to you,
closer to you,
whispering baby, baby, deep in the night,

closer to you...
baby...babe
closer to you..

Stevie Nicks--Either "Beauty and the Beast" or "Has Anybody Ever Written Anything For You."

They are from 1983 and 1985 but you CAN'T go wrong with these songs.

For me the king of romantic songs is Bryan Adams, like almost anything he plays is good in that dept. I also really like this song by The Script, it's called For The First time, it's great. Also Evanessence has a song, Bring Me To Life that is awesome. Aerosmith, Don't Want to Miss a Thing is another at the top of my list. Those are some of my faves. :D
