How can you get any better than this? "Reasons For Waiting"
What a sight for my eyes to see you in sleep.
Could've startled the sunrise hearing you weep.
You're not seen, you're not heard
but I stand by my word.
Came a thousand miles
just to catch you while you're smiling.
What a day for laughter and walking at night.
Me following after, your hand holding tight.
And the memory stays clear with the song that you hear.
If I can but make the words awake the feeling.
What a reason for waiting and dreaming of dreams.
So here's hoping you've faith in impossible schemes,
that are born in the sigh of the wind blowing by
while the dimming light brings the end to a night of loving.

For being with a lady, I would agree with Micky except Reasons for Waiting would also do the trick

This group of bands show up regularly on polls (with few variations). I voted for Tull which I usually do from this crowd.

Reasons for Waiting from this batch (because my wife indeed loves the song, as well as Aqualung's "Wond'ring Aloud"). Of course, I consider The Moody Blues prog, so there are bunches of great love songs from them. Tested and true.

"All complete in sight of seeds of life with you"... And You and I is for me, perhaps the greatest love song ever... and a wonderful song for a wedding... unfortunatley ladies may not so easily agree, nor would people invited to a wedding. Oh, and for a Pink Floyd love song, I really love "Coming back to Life", though it isn't from the classic era. From the classic era... perhaps "Wish you Were Here"... though I understand it wasn't written as a love song, perhaps we could give it that meaning... And recently I read that Echoes was about the empathy between two people... so one could stretch that idea a lot and see it as a love song (I always thought of it as the memory of a long lost loved person - not necessarily on a romantic way, but perhaps family or friend or whatever)... so in the end, for Pink Floyd, I would stick with "Coming back to life".

Am I allowed to vent on ProgArchives? The topic as something to do with the second word in this thread's title.  I'm rather introverted so doing ^that^ did get a little off my chest. Thanks everyone for helping!  PS, I voted for And You And I.

That actually kinda made me feel decent.  More venting  , but what I'm experiencing isn't exactly  or even  (s are for a****les -FZ). It'd take me a paragraph to explain. Ok, good. I'm done.

Many years ago, "A gentleman's excuse me" by Fish worked very well.
