... ok, imagine that you've fallen in love with someone you've had a platonic friendship with for ages...
whats the ultimate love song that would explain?
Joe Cocker's You Are So Beautiful is good. Any others?
The songs can't assume any sexual history.
Thanks.

welll prince song would be- adore!!

non prince song would be- i swear, by boys to men

One of my favourite songs of all time. Simple and to the point. Good choice.

Why did Michael Jackson call Boys II Men?


He thought it was a delivery service.

Okay, I'll handle this...

Too many good ones. Here's a few of my favorites:

Just to be Close To You-- Commodores
Ribbon in the Sky-- Stevie Wonder
You and I-- Stevie Wonder (a little sad though)

Well...first and foremost...

Adore (by Prince, SOTT)
Stevie Wonder (All I Do)

and the perfect song for this exact topic would be, ofcourse...

Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother, Wife.

Quite beautiful, yup

Blue
Now if only Rhonda Smith would realize we're more than jus friends

Adore- Prince (of course)
Die without you- PM Dawn (the most beautiful lyrics I've ever heard)

Those song will drop my panties any day!

Why did Michael Jackson go 2 Wal-Mart?

Little boys shorts were half off.

Wrong, Mikey J went to wall mart to steal some children, and then bugger them, not to buy them shorts - he's too naive to be subtle.

Spookymuffin said:

U obviously didn't get the joke - he had no intention of buying them. "Off" is the operative word.

ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING BY THE STYLISTICS !

Finally Found by The Honeyz :

I can't believe you're here with me
And now it seems my world's complete
And I never want this moment to end
I close my eyes and still I see
My dreams become reality
And now I know how it feels to be in love
I prayed so many nights that you would come my way
An angel from above to light my darkest day
I think it's time for you to heed these lines
'Cos there's something I want to say

Chorus:
I finally found what I've been looking for
And now you know I'm going to love you more
Hold me tight 'cos it's always been you (It's always been you)
To think that you were always there (always there)
To be my friend and wipe away my tears
Now it's clear that it's always been you

Sometimes you don't expect that friends
Can become lovers in the end
Only god knows what the future will bring
So hold me close and don't let go
'Cos this is love, boy, don't you know?
And we're gonna be together for eternity
I prayed so many nights that you would come my way
An angel from above to light my darkest day
A love so strong it can't be wrong
It's with you that I belong

Repeat Chorus

(This time) this time
I'm gonna make sure it turns out right
I wanna be your everything and by your side
For the rest of my life
(This love) this love
Feels the way that love should be
Look in my eyes and realise there's no disguise
'Cos I'm in love with you



Aah...

Sign Your Name by Terence Trent D'Arby

Fortunately you have got
Someone who relies on you
We started out as friends
But the thought of you just caves me in
The symptoms are so deep
It is so much too late to turn away
We started out as friends

Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my lady

Time I'm sure will bring
Disappointments in so many things
It seems to be the way
When your gambling cards on love you play
I'd rather be in Hell with you baby
Than in cool Heaven
It seems to be the way

Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my lady

Birds never look into the sun
Before the day is gone
But oh the light shines brighter
On a peaceful day
Stranger blue leave us alone
We don't want to deal with you
We'll shed our stains showering
In the room that makes the rain

All alone with you
Makes the butterflies in me arise
Slowly we make love
And the Earth rotates
To our dictates
Slowly we make love

Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my lady

A friend of mine had some guy sing a really pathetic version of this 1 on her answering machine...far be it from me 2 make fun of him 4 the effort, but that pretty much ruined that tune 4 me. Now I laugh every time I hear it. But seriously, I just started going out with this girl last week and I can tell U, writing a tune yourself is the way to go! I played her other people's tunes and I got claps but when I played her a tune I wrote for her I got a kiss! Like the old jazz standard goes.. "Learn...Learn To Croon!"

the
sound
of
rain

Love, love me do
You know I love you
I'll always be true
So pleaaase
Love me do

laaa, laaa, laaah, dee dum dum..

Awww!! Sounds like somebody just fell in love with their best friend!

I've mostly got suggestions for songs for after when it doesn't work out.

Oh, hey...
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
To you
Mmm...mmm...mmm...
Oh, yeah, babe

My whole life has changed
Since you came in, I knew back then
You were that special one
I'm so in love, so deep in love

You make my love complete
You are so sweet, no one competes
Glad you came into my life
You blind me with your love, with you I have no sight

Girl, you open me, I'm wide open
And I'm doing things I never do
But I feel so good, I feel so good
Why it takes so long for me finding you

This is my story and I'm telling you

Without you right here having my back

Never thought about settling down
But all the time I knew I was ready
But not with all my friends around

But girl, I put you first now (I put you first now)
You made me, helped mold me (Helped mold me, baby)
Turned me into a man, I'm so responsible
And I owe it all to you

My whole life has changed (My whole life has changed)
Since you came in, I knew back then (Oh, oh)
You were that special one (You were that special one)

Since you came in, I knew back then (You made a
difference in my life)

OK! I will leave the obvious Prince songs off as we all know how amazing they are :

Just a few out of many beautiful love songs...

Ginuwine - Differences
Jesse Powell - You
Tevin Campbell - Since I Lost You
Maxwell - This Woman's Work
Michael Jackson - You're My Life

All 4 One recorded 'I Swear'

funkyfine said:

I would say put some songs on a CD-R and get ur friend 2 listen 2 them and say 'these songs describe how I really feel about U' etc. etc. U know...:

I would have:

1. I Wanna Be Ur Man - Roger
2. I Only Have Eyes 4 U - Zapp
3. Thank U In Advance - Boyz II Men
4. Knocks Me Off My Feet - Donnell Jones
5. Could - Brian McKnight
6. La La La La Means Love U - 0(+>
7. Betcha By Golly Wow - 0(+>
8. All That I Am - Joe
9. Nothing Even Matters - Lauyrn Hill & D'Angelo
10. Can't Take My Eyes Of You - Lauyrn Hill
11. Ribbon In The Sky - Intro
12. You Are So Beautiful - Babyface
13. My Kind Of Girl - Brian McKnight & Justin Timberlake
14. In A Rush - Blackstreet

Its ur decision but I'd try & find a few songs which reflect ur feelings rather than just 1 or even write a song/poem urself, its up 2 u.

Good Luck!

Friends and Lovers- I dont know who sings it... but it is beautiful!

Sweet Thing- Rufus and Chaka Khan

This is really a dance song as opposed to a ballad, but one Janet song that comes to mind about falling in love with a friend is "Alright"...

...Catch a falling star that shines. Make a wish, clap three times. Dreams come true, it's in the mind. That's alright with me. Your wish is my command, never thought I'd fall in love again. Again, with my best friend. That's alright with me.

Friends come and friends may go. My friend, you're real, I know. True self you have shown; you're alright with me. Through thick and thick to thin, I'll love you 'til the end. You know it's true, my friend. You're alright with me...
