Love songs.

At the moment I'm mostly preoccupied with school stuff - finding texts for exams, hunting for cartoons and so on. There's one project I haven't really started on and I could use your help. It's for my older students who are in their last year and one of the topics I'm doing with them is "Shakespeare's sonnets and modern love songs". Now, I've got Shakespeare's sonnets and a couple of lesson plans, but I'm still looking for love songs.

So, have you got any favourites?

I'm not fussed about the style of the music, but the lyrics should be fairly easy to understand which rules out mumblers like Bob Dylan. We will look at the text and analyse it, so it should be a bit more meaty than just "I love you" - though I could have one example of that kind of song.

Thank you!
