There were bells on the hill, but I never heard them ringing, No, I never heard them at all, "TILL THERE WAS YOU..."

My favourite Broadway love song is “Who Can I Turn To?” from “The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd” as performed by Anthony Newley who also Co-wrote the song with Leslie Bricusse. A beautiful melody - one you can hum! (Which I think is important) but It’s really the astonishing vocal performance of Tony Newley that does it for me. The unexpected key changes and such powerful high notes that just thrill me! A bravura performance of a wonderful song that deserves to be remembered.

"Always" A popular song written by Irving Berlin in 1925, as a wedding gift for his wife Ellin McKay, whom he married in 1926, and to whom he presented the substantial royalties. The song was supposed to be used for the Marx Brothers Broadway musical (later film) The Cocoanuts (1927) but was cut by Berlin during out-of-town tryouts. It is used as underscoring in the recent Broadway musical White Christmas...Most importantly it was the first song my wife (Meredith Patterson) and I danced to at our wedding. Happy Valentines Day Beautiful!!

My favorite Broadway love song is the "I Love You Song" from the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.

Alysha Umphress and Jeff Blumenkrantz's "You Are Never Away/Ten Minutes Ago”!

"Lover" from Fela! Also anything from AIDA- what a love story!

My favorite Broadway love song is “Somewhere" From West Side Story! It lets us all know that there is a perfect place out there where love abides and no matter who you are or where you come from., your race, culture, your socio-economic status, or your sexual orientation that place belongs to us all.

My favorite Broadway love song is "The Sweetest Sounds" fromNo Strings. It's a beautiful song about the discovery of someone's voice and energy. I love it because I just love it!

"All the Things You Are" from Very Warm for May by Jerome Kern. The Angel recording by conductor John McGlinn sung by Rebecca Luker, George Dvorsky, Jeanne Lehmann and Cris Groenendaal with the original orchestrations by Robert Russell Bennett.

This is a hard question for me because I am such a romantic at heart and have so many favorite romantic theatre songs. "If I Loved You", "How Could I Ever Know", "Loving You" and "On My Way to You" (although technically not a theatre song) are all at the top for me. Perhaps the most romantic song to me will always be "If Ever I Would Leave You". First of all I think the stories of King Arthur and his Camelot are extremely romantic as they are written and this song, to me, captures that sense of romance to perfection. This is a song that speaks of the enduring nature of true love and the pain and joys associated with it without ever even mentioning the word "love". To me that is pretty spectacular. Add to those words that incredible sweeping melody line and a gorgeous rich baritone voice and it will leave me weak in the knees every time.

My favorite Broadway love song is "Selective Memory" from People in the Picture. The score is by Mike Stoller and Artie Butler. It is a gorgeous and complex love story sung by a woman, now older, whose short term memory is going, but her long term memory, that of her deepest truest love is inextinguishable.

"If Ever I Would Leave You" from Camelot.

My favorite love song is probably Andrew Lloyd Webber of course, “'Til I Hear You Sing” from Love Never Dies, which I just think is a masterpiece and needs to be on Broadway very soon.

After weighing the obvious ("If I Loved You" from CAROUSEL) and the classic ("Tonight" from WEST SIDE STORY)and the sad (there are so many of these including "A Little Fall of Rain" from Les Mis or "Not a Day Goes By" from MERRILY) John Carrafa and I both agreed that "I Chose Right" from BABY is probably the song that will always bring tears to our eyes with it's heartfelt lyrics and sentiment. "And I think about you, and I think about me loving you..."

“Were Thine That Special Face” from Kiss Me Kate

"As If We Never Said Goodbye" from SUNSET BOULEVARD.

Most Romantic Classical Musical Theater song- "What's the Use of Wonderin' " (Rodgers & Hammerstein's CAROUSEL). Maybe the themes of the show are questionable, but "He's your fella and you love him, that's all there is to that." Couldn't be more simple, and to the point. If only love were that simple. It's a romantic idea anyway. Most Romantic Contemporary Musical Theater song- "Love to Me" (Adam Guettel's "Light in the Piazza") One of the most honest moments in any musical. Fabrizio tells her all the emotions he felt in the first moment he saw her. Unapologetically honest, and vulnerable. The lyrics alone are beautiful, but once you add the amazing orchestration I dare you not to think this song is ridiculously romantic.

Amongst the many great love songs written for Broadway I would have to say that "Some Enchanted Evening" from Roger's and Hammerstein's South Pacific is my favorite. The entire song really but in particular the end. "Once you have found her, never let her go." When you find a truly great love, it becomes a part of you. It's worth your world.

"Hero and Leander" from Myths and Humns by Adam Guettel. I listened to "Hero and Leander" every day of my Freshman/Sophomore years at college and still love it 10-years later. I mean, come on!

Favorite Broadway love song...'I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore' from Rock of Ages (of course!)

Growing up I used to hear this song on the radio. I fell in love with it. Through its transitions, it stood the test of time: "Hey There," I sing it in my act. Thank you Rosie Clooney, John Raitt and Sammy Davis Jr.

"Only Love" from Zorba is achingly beautiful, but, call me old fashioned, there's something wonderfully romantic about "I Can't Say No."

"Before and After You/One Second and a Million Miles." The Bridges of Madison County was my first Broadway show and this is Jason Robert Brown at his best. It's incredibly beautiful and moving and was sung, to absolute perfection, by the incomparable Kelli O'Hara and Steven Pasquale. Pure Magic!

"Lots Wife" from Caroline or Change, because I LOVE when I sing it. I changed my mind. "My Child Will Forgive Me" from Parade

Gershwin’s “You Can Have Him” (Nina Simone version)

"Our Love is Here to Stay" is such a classic song that I sang to my wife, walking with her in Chicago on one of the first dates we had. I've always loved that song.

"Haled's Song About Love" from The Band's Visit. Yeah, I wrote it! That's why I love it so much!

“The Next Ten Minutes” from THE LAST FIVE YEARS by Jason Robert Brown.

"Sun and Moon" from Miss Saigon. It's so romantic and so starcrossed. It's just like one night they fall in love, if only.

One of my favorite Broadway Love Songs is "Follow Your Heart" from Urinetown! It's such a beautiful melody and couple's harmony, and it's also touching and hilarious.
