Can’t keep his mind on nothin’ else

She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he put her down

6. “Your Song” by Elton John

It’s a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I’m not one of those who can easily hide
I don’t have much money, but, boy, if I did
I’d buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, heh, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it’s not much, but it’s the best I can do
My gift is my song, and this one’s for you


And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind
That I put down in the words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

7. “Endless Love” by Lionell Richie

They tell me how much you care
Ooh, yes
You will always be
My endless love

8. “Love Story (Taylor’s Version)” by Taylor Swift

That you were Romeo, you were throwin’ pebbles
And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet”

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting, all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story, baby, just say, “Yes”

9. “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston

And I will always love you
I will always love you
You
My darling, you

10. “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” by Roberta Flack

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies, my love
To the dark and the endless skies

And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command, my love
