Say it with music: With these songs, you can show your sweetheart how much you love them. With some of them ("Je t'aime...") you even send him a clear signal about what you want from your sweetheart.
Bee Gees - How Deep Is Your Love
This cuddly song was created in 1977 as a single from the soundtrack to the movie "Saturday Night Fever". Barry Gibb declared it his favorite song. There are two videos for the song, which also differ in that you can see Barry Gibb with a beard in one and without in the other.
Albert Hammond - When You Tell Me That You Love Me
Albert Hammond and John Bettis wrote this romantic ballad in 1991 and it later appeared on an album by Diana Ross. In 1994, Dolly Parton and crooner Julio Iglesias recorded the song as a duet.
John Legend - All Of Me
John Legend dedicated this power ballad to his fiancée and later wife in 2013. The video for the song was shot at the Comers - a place that the Legend family likes to visit to relive memories.
23 years after its release, this ballad about a night-time encounter in a red light bar is part of the collective subconscious of the 40-somethings. Is it just about quick sex for sale or is it really a love song? Somehow it is - after all, someone wants to give their heart away!

Whitney Houston -I Will Always Love You
Dolly Parton wrote the song for her longtime partner Porter Wagoner - it became really famous in Whitney Houston's version, which she recorded for the film Bodyguard in 1992. To this day, it is the musical confession of love par excellence.
This hit by the legendary band led by Sting can pass for a love song and is even played at weddings. But if you pay close attention to the lyrics, you can hear a control freak: "Every breath you take, every move you make, every promise you break, every step you take - I'm watching you!" But who pays attention to the lyrics with such a tender melody? So distract your loved one by playing the song for him/her!
The song originally dates back to 1861 and was first called "Aura Lee". However, this tearjerker became famous as one of Elvis Presley's greatest hits. The "King" recorded it in 1957 for the film of the same name. As Elvis dies in the movie, he sings the last verse from heaven.
Frank Sinatra and his daughter made the song, which was actually written by musician Carson Parks, famous. At first there were concerns that this love song was not suitable as a duet between father and daughter. But the song became a big hit and an evergreen. In 2001, Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidmanden re-recorded the song.
Sounds tender and loving. Close confidants of James Blunt say that the singer wrote the song in 2005 for his ex Dixie Chassay, the casting director of the Harry Potter films. Blunt neither confirms nor denies this. He says that the song came to him when he saw his ex on the London Underground with her new boyfriend. The story in the video for the song is also sad: depending on the interpretation, it's about suicide. For love, of course. That's why this song passes for a love song. Albeit a bittersweet one.
Jane Birkin et Serge Gainsbourg - Je T'aime,...Moi Non Plus
Sixties playboy Serge Gainsbourg actually wrote the song for his former flame Brigitte Bardot. But she was still married to Gunther Sachs, who asked his rival in no uncertain terms not to publish the highly suggestive song. So Serge re-recorded the song in 1969 - with his future wife Jane Birkin. A tender "Je t'aime" to a catchy, gentle Hammond organ melody. A very clear song: anyone who brings this song into play wants more than just "love".
