Classic love songs from the 50's, 60's and 70's most of which(IMO)t have stood the test of time. My criteria was basically that the songs had to be about positive love experiences or the hope that love would come in the near future.. No unrequited love or break up songs. Also, most of these songs have really romantic or upbeat melodies without being too "sappy".
