I was going to do a top 10 love songs of all time list, but there was just no way to break it down to just 10 as there are so many amazing songs. So I decided to break it down by decades, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and then do this list on the Top 10 love songs of the 2000’s. I hope you like my choices! This playlist is also available on YouTube.

People come up to me and say, ‘I feel like you’re sitting right next to me and you picked my brain.’ Or ‘It’s everything I’m going through.’ ”
