Default Wanted: Sweet Songs

Hey, friends. I'm trying to make a good list of sweet songs that I can compile and use to spend some good time with my GF. I'm curious to see what your suggestions are!

So, feel free to shoot away some good sweet songs! Try and refrain from posting heavy stuff, or depressing music... And if you could name songs that are not that well known/remembered today, cookies for you, since I want to surprise her! I'm looking more for the sweet, upbeat stuff that leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy, ehe.

Some of the stuff I got:

Bon Jovi - I'll be there for you (this song has history )
Tom Petty - Free Falling
Tom Petty - Square One
Mazzy Star - Into Dust
Cranberries - Linger
Oasis - All Around the World
Matchbox 20 - Unwell
Bell X1 - Eve, the Apple of my Eye
Joseph Arthur - Honey and the Moon
Fray - How to Save a Life
Death Cab for Cutie - Death of an Interior Decorator
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Semisonic - Secret Smile
Sia - Numb
Coldplay - Speed of Sound
Elton John - Your Song
Massive Attack - Teardrop
The Killers - Read my Mind
The Cure - Friday I'm in Love
The Cure - Close to Me

Thanks!

Dancing Lessons, by Sinead O'Connor, is a sweet and upbeat song, but I'm not sure if it would fit into your playlist above. She also sang a song with Shane Mcgowan, called Haunted.

Try a Little Tenderness (This is Andrew Strong's version, for The Commitments).

Everything, by Alanis Morissette.

Brandy Alexander, by Feist.

Eyes, by Rogue Wave.

Cupid De Locke, by the Smashing Pumpkins. Also, Beautiful.

Fidelity, by Regina Spektor.

Let My Love Open the Door, by Pete Townshend.

The Sweetest Thing, by U2.

Fresh Feeling, by Eels.

Fallen, by Lauren Wood.

Better, by Tom Baxter (sweet, not upbeat, but not sad).

Cry To Me, by Solomon Burke (not upbeat, but I think it's sweet ~ it's one of my favourites).

Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros is sung in Icelandic and is about puddle jumping but it's such a powerful song, I love it.

Promise me and Holding on, both by Beverley Craven are fantastic. In fact all her songs are beautiful - I'm going gooey just remembering....

Others that remind me of 'special times' are Through the barricades by Spandau Ballet, Don't wanna lose you by Gloria Estefan and Power of Love by Frankie goes to Hollywood

Play "Moments in Love" by Art of Noise at the right time and you'll create magic...

Ahhh, Dancer you have just elevated yourself to well beyond 'awesome' just by mentioning this song/band.

Of course, Madonna walked down the aisle to it when marrying Sean Penn...for all the good it did her!

YouTube - Genius Of Love - Tom Tom Club 80s - Extended Version-Lyrics

YouTube - The Bangels - Eternal Flame Original Video

Whew - here are a few new ones. Not traditionally romantic - but I think they're sweet.

YouTube - The White Stripes - We're Going To Be Friends

YouTube - The White Stripes - My Doorbell


Finally, one you should definitely not send...

YouTube - Girls - Beastie Boys
