15. Peter Gabriel - "In Your Eyes"
This song is the main theme of "Say Anything" and the iconic scene of John Cusack holding a radio on top of his head while playing this song has become a cultural icon.
14. "Photograph" - Ed Sheeran
Anything that Ed Sheeran writes is beautifu and deserves all the awards. This is a beautiful song and the video accompanying it is just wonderful.
13. "I Just Called to Say I Love You" - Stevie Wonder
Stevie Wonder's amazing voice is so good in this song. It's upbeat but the lyrics mean so much.The song was in the Billboard top 100 for three weeks and was number 1 in 19 countries.
12. "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" - Aerosmith
This one is a classic and it served as Armageddon's theme song in 1998. The song is Aerosmith's biggest hit and it stayed in number 1 for four weeks in 1998. The song itself was written by musician Diane Warren and Chicago musician Phil Kosch.
11. "More Than Words Can Say" - Alias
Aside from all the hairspray on this video this song is very beautiful and has stayed, to this day, a ballad staple.
10. "Wild Horses" - The Sundays
I first heard this song when I was watching "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and fell completely in love with it. The song was first released by the Rolling Stones in 1971 and quickly became one of their most noticeable songs. It wasn't until 1992 that The Sundays recorded their beautifully executed version - and dare I say, it's better than the original.
9. "Make You Feel My Love" - Adele
Simply beautiful. This song was originally recorded by Bob Dylan in 1997 but Adele did such a wonderful job with it that people barely know of the original. This is a must on your "Valentine's Day Playlist".
8. "Without You" - Lea Michele
Glee took Usher's song and turned it into a beautiful ballad that was very successful and brings forth the beautiful lyrics.
7. "The Power of Love" - Celine Dion
This is another cover song that many don't even know that it's a cover! Celine Dion's hit was originally recorded by Jennifer Rush in the 80's but it was Celine's version that put the song on the map and made it a classical power ballad that people still love to this day.
6. "Something" - The Beatles
The song was written by George Harrison and has become one of his most successful songs that he ever recorded. The song was inspired by George Harrison's wife, Patty Boyd and even though many artists have covered the song, Patty said that her favorite version was the one that George sang to her in their kitchen. Swoon.
5. "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" - Amy Winehouse
Amy's version was released in 2007 and is one of her most honest songs. It was originally recorded by "The Shirelles" in 1960 and a different version of Amy's was released on her posthumous album "Lioness".
4. "Love of My Life" - Queen
The song was a crowd favorite in concerts and after Freddie Mercury died, Bryan May would dedicate the song to the late singer.
3. "I Want to Know What Love Is" - Foreigner
It's listed as one of the best songs of all times and still, to this day, keeps its popularity. A fun fact about this sing is that the song features backing vocals from the New Jersey Mass Choir affiliated with the Gospel Workshop of America, Dreamgirls star Jennifer Holiday, and the Thompson Twins.
2. "Take My Breath Away" - Berlin
Top Gun has an amazing soundtrack but one of the most beautiful ballads of all time came from pop artist Berlin. the song went to become a huge hit and has been covered by countless artists.
1. "My Heart Will Go On" - Celine Dion
Celine Dion is the queen of love song and this one is extremely epic just like the movie "Titanic". This song shattered the charts in 1997 and became the biggest movie theme in the 90's. The song was a pioneer for future movie love theme. I dare you to listen to this and not shed a few tears. Plus, she's singing this live. HOT. DAMN.
