valentine songs for the single person or songs i hope you would be singing on v-day if you're single now
68
It's that time of the year again when Cupid replaces Santa in malls and Hallmark cards and love songs claim dominion over elevators everywhere forcing Christmas carols to zip it and retire for at least ten months. Ah yes, the feast day of St. Valentine is just around the corner flower shop and capitalists are alive again after a two-week break. I bet you've you been busy searching the net for that perfect gift for your wife or husband, girlfriend or boyfriend and partner or companion. If you are, then this hub is not for you. This is for the singular sensations who are in a race against time hoping, wishing and praying to cross the Feb 14 finish line holding hands with another um racer. So if you are single but never been more ready to mingle I have just the songs for you. Songs about falling in love - for the first time or for the nth time. About fear, exhilaration, uncertainty and saying 'i love you'.
I hope you enjoy the selection as I made sure every genre's covered - from standards to disco, from Frank Sinatra to U2.
And lastly, I wish you love this valentine's day.

the first time ever i saw your face
by roberta flack
And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
god bless the broken road
by rascal flatts
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
the first picture of you
by the lotus eaters
the first picture of you
the first picture of summer
seeing the flowers scream their joy
diggin' on you
by tlc
When I heard the lines you threw
Although it usually turns me off
But this time you have turned me on
Lights off lights on
love of a lifetime
by firehouse
I finally found the love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through
you had me from hello
by kenny chesney
The moment that I looked
into your eyes, you won me
It was over from the start
first time
by lifehouse
Looking at you, holding my breath,
For once in my life I'm scared to death
I'm taking a chance,letting you inside
i feel love
by donna summer
I feel love
I feel love
I feel love
at last
by etta james
At last, my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
i think i'm in love again
by paul anka
Think I'm in love again,
grinning that silly grin
Look what a fool I've been,
think I'm in love again
head over feet
by alanis morissette
you've already won me over
in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall
head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you
for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
till there was you
by the beatles
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you
crazy for you
by madonna
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new
You'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you
i didn't know i was looking for love
by everything but the girl
A thousand stars
came into my system
I never knew how much
I had missed them
Slap on the map of
my heart you landed
i feel the earth move
by Carole King
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
let's get it on
by marvin gaye
Don't you know how sweet
and wonderful, life can be
I'm askin you baby
to get it on with me
love song
by the cure
whenever I'm alone with you
you make me feel
like i am home again
for once in my life
by frank sinatra
For once, I have something
I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore
the first time
(fr the movie million dollar hotel)
by U2
He said I have many mansions
And there are many rooms to see
But I left by the back door
And I threw away the key
For the first time
I feel love
finally
by Ce Ce Peniston
Finally it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
My feelin's can't describe it

Shari...For a while back I thought you meant Oprah! Haha Anyway...
But we still have a month before the red-letter day, don't count yourself out - a month is a long time. And who knows about love? It could happen in a flash.
In any case I would sure love to share with you dohn's beer or your wine! :D
Love all of them, Cris - what a super choice. And such great music is for everyone I should think! Here's wishing love comes along for you :)
Thanks Shalini. Advance happy Valentine to you and yours! :D
Okay Cris, just when my speaker is busted, you suddenly came up with these songs that I can't listen to. Just wait till I get my speaker working again then I'll listen to these songs :). Would love to hear EBTG's song :). Thanks for featuring it.
love songs with emotion and catch phrases. So very fitting for Feb 14th lovers day
@emie
that's too bad. but you can check back again and i'll wait :D
@ocbill
yes indeed. thanks for giving the songs a listen :D
Cris,
I am right now listening to the songs in your hub. They're familiar sounds though The Beatles' "Till There Was You" and Roberta Flack's "The First TIme Ever I Saw Your Face" just turn me into a jelly hehehe. Thanks for this collection which I will revisit on Valentine's Day.
By the way, I replied to your comment in my hub: http://hubpages.com/hub/The-joys-of-being-a-commun with a special "Thank You" note for two very special photoshop artworks from your hubs. Hope you had the chance to read my "Thank You" note.
Cris you always have such great taste in music!
@france
LOL jelly, huh? Glad you liked the selection. I'll make sure to check out your note later. Thanks for dropping by :D
@Miss SinDivine
Aww that's so nice of you to say. Many thanks! :D
Hmm... quite a selection. I neglected to see the warning label at the entrance..Or is the 'passionate snog' image the warning sign.. :) I love how you create poems through your music hubs with the selected versus, too. you just don't miss a beat, do ya? I think you missed one though.. shouldn't it end with 'catch me I falling?' ;) hehe..
So it's a karaoke night for v-day? I think my puudle turned into the basin for Niagra falls...lol..beautiful
Very nice...you know Valentines Day is the same day as The Daytona 500 also known as the Great American Race. I'm a huge race nut and never miss this race...hopefully my girlfriend won't mind!
Jeremy
I know what I'll be singing, "What's love got to do, got to do with it? What's love but a second-hand emotion!"
@invictus
Oh right, that song should fit in nicely here! Yeah, it seems it's gonna be karaoke night for me.
@Jeremy
If she really loves you, she won't! Haha Thanks for dropping by :D
@PWalker
That bad, huh? Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy v-day whatever you end up doing :D
Not really,Chris. More my warped sense of humor. Actually, I'm quite happy as a single senior, so I'm sure it will be a great day, like you say, whatever I end up doing. Great music selection, btw.
Well I must say it's better that, ie finding humor in being single, than being depressed about it. Life's too short to be bitter - single or not. Glad you like the song selection. :D
sniff, sniff... well, you're more than welcome here.. I'll light a fire ( a bigger one) LOL :D
brilliant selection of vids. Will look at them in more detail tomrrow
Love this hub. Lovely music. I had the good luck to see Roberta Flack in person at the Finger Lakes Performing Arts Center, and she is awesome! Her voice is so unique, so rich...

All the best Chris, may you get a chance to sing some of these songs this year! :)
Wao. Unfortunately, I am fixed.
@FP
With the right amount of alcohol yeah probably I'll sing a song or two from this list! Haha Thanks :D
@Philipo
Um I think that should be 'fortunately' :D
This is such an appropriate tribute to those who will be going it alone on Valentine's Day. But really, what is the big deal with St Valentine's Day? Just another day to rub salt in the wounds of those ill coupled--or stranded on their couches playing Dragon Age eating dried cereal...etc. But I must say, fantastic choice of songs--sniff-
Sandy
Like I said, you'll never know what will happen in a month's time. But then again being alone on v-day is not the end of the world. It could also be a day to love onself, couldn't it? Thanks for reading, and now I have an idea of what you're going to do come v-day if you choose to spend it by yourself :D
i really want to cry with what i cant dare to cofess my real love to my partner. http://www.3dwallpaperdownload.blogspot.com/
Bravooooo........watch all your video...

Hope you had your heart full on V-day :D
You have made me feel all lovey dovey love your taste in music, art, poetry, you are the perfect man in my eyes.
Saw BP's post and came by again - Cris - I hope your heart was full on V-Day :)
@BP
Sheesh! Thanks Ded, you are suweeet!
@Shalini
I hope yours was too :D
Hey Cris, thanks for sharing all the videos of the greats in music--Etta James, Roberta Flack, Madonna, Carole King, Marvin Gaye, Frank Sinatra, and CeCe Penniston. I think you left out one person--my wife Susan. Check out her singing The Rose in French, English, and Tagalog. Again, Cris, thanks for sharing. I enjoyed listening to them all!
Darn! So I did forget! Maybe you should post a vid of her on youtube and share it to the world. I also like that song ...in the spring becomes the rose :D
Hi again, Cris, you know that I was joking when I said what I said in respect to my wife. Unfortunately, she doesn't do youtube--at least, not now. Get back to you at some other time.
Oh I know you were. But jokes are half truths at the very least so I believe you when you say she's good. Tell her to think about it :D
Thanks :D

Man do you have good taste in music Cris! I'll probably be home alone with a beer and a shotgun and listening to this Hub come February 14th! Just kidding, lol.
Great selections, my friend. Here's to hoping for a little company ;)
