George & Ira Gershwin's "Someone To Watch Over Me," especially since it's about to be sung by the sublime Kelli O'Hara in "Nice Work If You Can Get It."

The most romantic song to me is "Tonight" by Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein.

The most romantic Broadway love song, for me, is "I'll Be Seeing You" (Sammy Fain-Irving Kahal) from the 1938 short-lived musical RIGHT THIS WAY. Though it was written right before the war, it resonated profoundly for all the Allies during WWII as boys were sent across the Atlantic to fight for the liberation of most of Western Europe from under the yoke of Nazi Germany. Maybe I am mindful of this because we are now a country at war and families are being torn apart. Indeed, I hope I will be seeing all of our soldiers in Iraq home safe and soon. Love to you from GOLDA'S BALCONY at the Wadsworth Theatre (on the grounds of the Veteran's Administration) in Los Angeles...

Depending on how you see 'love song', I would say there is a tie: "Somewhere" from WEST SIDE STORY because the music is a blueprint of unconditional love. Almost like a map that you hear; every lyric and note lead you there. And even thought it's not Broadway (yet), "Midnight Radio" from Hedwig and the Angry Inch because nothing is more romantic than the misfits and the losers finding their other halves. And the guitar in that song always gets me in the mood...

"Soliloquy" from CAROUSEL. "My boy Bill..."

I was thinking, wistfully, about London the other day. I don't know why, and my iPod shuffle, which is uncannily in tune with my psyche, served up the perfect compliment to my mood: Vera Lynn singing "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square". The song premiered on the London stage in 1940's NEW FACES. It is an unabashedly romantic tale of two people falling in love in Mayfair. There may be more romantic songs out there, but the age of the recording, coupled with the simple imagery and the sound of Vera Lynn's pure soaring voice singing "I know 'cos I was there" - well it gets me every time.

I think Ravel's Bolero is very sexy music, boring, but sexy.

"I've Never Been In Love Before" from GUYS AND DOLLS - a big bold shouting love to the world. "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve" - The song speaks to everyone's secret fear, being alone without a loved one on New Year's Eve...

I have to say that my choice for most romantic song comes from the musical version of Faust. The song, "Feels Like Home", was how I first told my boyfriend I loved him. This may sound really sappy and dorky, but we were on the roof of my apartment building one night, and I just started singing it to him...because I was too chicken to just outright tell him how I felt! "A window breaks down a long dark street, and a siren wails in the night. But I'm alright 'cause I have you here with me, and I can almost see through the dark, there's light. If you knew how much this moment means to me, and how long, I've waited for your touch. If you knew how happy you are making me, I never thought I'd love anyone so much."

I feel like I have a favorite love song from every Broadway show, but if I had to pick just one, I guess it would be "Last Night of the World" from MISS SAIGON. One of my favorite memories is of my high school voice teacher playing it for me and telling me how it was the PERFECT love song. He loved it so much, he filled a cassette tape with the song recorded over and over to fill the whole tape. I remember thinking it was kinda silly at the time, but that song really is so beautiful and the saxophone solo in the middle gets me every time!

"I Only Have Eyes For You". One of the best songs ever!!!

The first one that comes to my mind is "Love Song" from Pippin. I don't know how it holds up these days, but when I was in high school, that was my JAM.

"If I Loved You", from CAROUSEL, is written as a duet, and the drama of these two people denying what they are feeling is what makes it a great song. As a solo number it's just the loneliest thing you can imagine, and just as great. Runners-up: "Her Face", from CARNIVAL, "Never Will I Marry", from GREENWILLOW.

This is an easy one! It's my favorite song of all time It's BILL from SHOWBOAT...gets me every time. So simple and honest. The melody tugs at your heart and the lyric " I love him because he's ...I don't know. Because he's just my Bill." We don't know why we love who we love ...we just do (take that GEORGE BUSH)

"Maria" from WEST SIDE STORY

My first instinct was something a bunch of other people have probably chosen, CAMELOT's "If Ever I Would Leave You;" it just doesn't get any better. But as a contemporary theatre songwriter, I feel like, in the end, I wanna go with some more recent stuff, and my three favorite love duets from the last decade or so are Yazbek's "Nothing Is Too Wonderful To Be True" (DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS) for its old-school melody and goofy originality, LaChiusa's "People Like Us" (THE WILD PARTY), with its sexy and soulful take on how two lonely, damaged people can connect, and, especially, Hamlisch and Carnelia's "Don't Know Where You Leave Off" (THE SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS), which has a great lyric hook, endless longing, and in its own jazzy way, soars musically as much as anything since the days of Lerner & Loewe. All incredible, beautiful numbers, which prove they can write 'em like they used to. Here's hoping the most romantic Broadway love songs haven't even been written yet.

"I'll Be Loving You Always" by Irving Berlin, is my favorite romantic song. I actually sang it to my late husband, Ranald MacDougall, when I proposed to him.

I think the most romantic Broadway Love Song ever written is "Unworthy of Your Love" by Sondheim (ASSASSINS). This is a great song. I'm not sure how romantic it could be considered, but it proves that everyone has someone who loves them...

"Timeless to Me". Oh wait. I can't say that. OK - "Married" from CABARET. Why? Because it's so romantic!

"I Wish I Could Forget You" from PASSION.

I'd have to say my favorite romantic Broadway song, off the top of my head, is 'Some Girls' from Once on This Island. It's a song of love and adoration that comes from the heart while the character is in the circumstance of the confines of tradition and class. 'Daniel' realizes/discovers his love for 'Ti Moune' in how different she is from other women and for being the unique and the simple person she is, meanwhile he is destined to marry someone of his own class that has been arranged since birth. I find it so romantic that in he can sing this love song to her at the same time acknowledging he will not be able to be with her.

"If I Loved You" -- hands down. Because it's like the dance you do before you admit how much you love someone.

My favorite romantic song was written by Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh and it's called it "It Amazes Me." It's just a perspective of how you come into this world one way, and how somebody can love you so much that you change the perspective of yourself.

We just can't choose one. Our favorites are: "It Only Takes a Moment" from Hello Dolly!, "What More Can I Say" from Falsettos, and "I Have Dreamed" from The King and I.

Yikes, the most romantic Broadway love song ever written? Let me think - I never thought about that. It might be "All The Things You Are," Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein. "You are the promised kiss of springtime that makes the lonely winter seem long."

My favorite is "Always" by Irving Berlin. It was sung at our wedding by the wonderful Kelli O'Hara, so it will always be my favorite.

For someone who sings gorgeous love songs every day of my life, that's a Sophie's Choice kind of question. But at this moment I would answer with "How Deep Is the Ocean" by Irving Berlin, written in 1933 for the Broadway show AS THOUSANDS CHEER. The words and the music are so perfect for each other that they themselves are like two great lovers in the sublime way that they connect. The lyric expresses exactly how I feel when I am with someone I love with all my heart. What makes the song pure genius is that Berlin expresses the deepest love through only questions. Romance is heightened by anticipation, and here, each question makes the listener find each answer. As a side note, I'd like to ask all singers reading this to please resist the temptation to do this song as a crazy upbeat number. It takes all the heart and soul out of it and I want to call the "lyric police" whenever I hear this. When I recorded this classic on my first CD with Mike Renzi at the piano, I had a fantasy that the beauty of the song would touch people so much that it would miraculously become a hit single played on every radio station. It might have happened if we lived in a world where each day was Valentine's Day.

"A Kiss At The End Of The Rainbow," from the movie A Mighty Wind. I know, it's not from a Broadway show per se, but the song was written by a Broadway star, the brilliant Michael McKean (and his wife, the actress Anette O'Toole). It's amazingly performed in the movie by Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy as an estranged, divorced folksinging duo from the 60's. The song says one radical thing, simply and beautifully: that love is worth more than money. And it's punctuated with this kiss that's so sad and beautiful at once. It's such a wonderful movie - for those who went expecting a fall-on-the-floor comedy and were disappointed: watch it again.

I'd say "If I Loved You" from CAROUSEL, because they don't admit they're in love, they pretend it's only a possibility, and that restraint breaks your heart.

I think the most romantic Broadway love song is......."How Could I Ever Know" because of the lyrics. The notion that a person who is no longer in this world could contact their true love to tell them they are the one they were born to love, is extremely moving to me.
