I was thinking of 'Love Song With Flute' by Caravan and maybe 'Oh Caroline!' by Matching Mole but then I thought of 'Historia d' una gota d' aigua' by Gotic.
Even though it's lyricless I think it sounds like a love song, and a pretty epic one too!

When I met my wife the first song I played to her was O Caroline. She still loves Wyatt, maybe me too

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.
"Out In the Cold" on Hero and Heroine also has some lyrics about love. Sort of.

I just listened Bursting at the Seems, what a wonderful album that is. Dave Cousins is a genius ...

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.
What the f**k is "standard" love, and why is it terrible?

'Yeah I'll have your standard love option please. Just in and out okay thanks'.
Maybe it lacks the delightful foreplay Prog love songs have?

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!!)
I believe Thijs Van Leer wrote this tune for a girl he knew at school, or something... and she hated it.

The-Time-Is-Now, I'm so glad you mentioned the Yes masterpiece "In the Presence Of." It's a beautiful and uplifting song (on par with "And You and I," imo), but it always seems to get overlooked. Howe's guitar work is excellent on that song, he plays three or four solos but each one of them adds so much to the song as a whole.
Others:
Madrigal - Rush
Alien Shore - Rush
Beneath the Surface - Dream Theater (more of an undisclosed/tragic/lost love song)
