There was a thread about this but it was locked. Love songs are usually terrible because the lyrics focus on "standard" love, but in prog when one happens to come up they have different way of looking at love.


Collapse the Light into Earth - Porcupine Tree (I suppose it is one of those "end of relationship" songs.
Counting Out Time - Genesis Wink
And You and I - Yes
Turn of the Century - Yes
Wondering Aloud - Jethro Tull

Pain of Salvation's "This Heart of Mine (I Pledge)" comes to mind.

The Shepherd Song by Strawbs (off the From the Witchwood album) is a wonderful (if slightly erotic) love song.
 
They also did Tears and Pavan (off Bursting at the Seams). Dave Cousins is one of the rare prog writers who can write sensitive love songs in the prog genre.

I'm not sure that this is a "love song" per se, but it is a very lovely & romantic song from an album with many romantic moments on it.   (be sure to read the comments, they are a hoot!!)

How about the Steve Hillage track `Palm Trees (Love Guitar)' off his album `Green' (one of my all-time favourite prog albums!) ?

Lyrics like "A love that shelters, like an oasis in the sand...."

Not sure if he was singing a song to his love while they're under palm trees, or if it was a love song to nature itself - probably both!

Wonderful melody, heartfelt vocals and beautiful melodic guitar solos throughout too.
