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 ------------- User Banned for this Post |

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.

| "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. |

damn... did Floyd ever do a love song. I sure as hell can't think of one Not that 99% of their music is not pretty much perfect for being with that special.. or even if she is not special.. lady ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

They have a few, but none of them are epics that can match up to these ones. Stay I find a good love song, and Summer '68, and if you think about it, Bike ------------- User Banned for this Post |

Some very good ones here. The Cinema Show = And You and I > Formentera Lady > Lost > Lady Fantasy Voted for The Cinema Show in this poll because this song contains the best lyrics ever written about sex.

Trilogy, for me it's the most honest one. I didn't interpret the subject to mean which song would shed clothes better or faster, but rather which tells the story of love best. "And you And I" is excellent but it's too esoteric in that regard. I've tried to mend The love that ended long ago Although we still pretend Our love is surely coming to an end Don't waste the time you've got to love again ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

Once again, "Coming Back to Life". And for me it's as good as anything else they have achieved... though perhaps not as epic, but beautiful indeed. |

I don't know what do you mean by 'Love Song', but I fell in love when I heard Close To The Edge. Give this music a body and I will marry it!

King Crimson - Heartbeat would have been my choice. 80s unpretentiousness does better for me love-wise than all too complex things. |

Since Counting Out Time was overlooked, I'll go with Cinema Show. If pre-Prog Genesis could count, I'd say how about She's Beautiful?
