Romantic eighties songs

What are some of the most romantic songs from the eighties in your opinon. You know, the kind that make you dream about special romantic times?

I love, love, love these songs

"One more night" by Phil Collins
"Waiting for a girl like you" by Journey
"Human" by Human league

but my FAVORITE is "Lady in Red" by Chris De Burgh! Omg this song is so sweet. Some might find it corny but I find it to be one of the loveliest songs I've ever heard.

It was also a Patrick Bateman's favourite smile (Christian Bale in American Psycho)
