9 on the 9th - Mrs. N's Favorite Love Songs

The power of music. There is nothing like an honest romantic ballad to weaken my knees. Here are my top nine. Some are of the cheesy variety, I will admit to that, but I cannot turn my back on the music.

1) How Do You Fall in Love - Alabama - This was our first dance song at our wedding reception and while it wasn't my favorite song at the time, I adore it today.

2) God Bless the Broken Road - Rascal Flatts (Selah also has a beautiful version) - I think this is a song to which almost all couples can relate. The road to true love is rocky. I've had my heart broken more than once before falling in love with Dr. N and now I can look back on that broken road and see it paved with beauty because it led me to my man.

3) Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton - This song...oh, how I dream of Dr. N one day crooning this to me while attending a romantic party on a yacht...a girl can dream. I also confess to changing the lyrics to better fit my hair color and length at the present, i.e. "...she brushes her short caramel blond hair..."

4) Heart and Soul - Rod Stewart -- I admit, some of the lyrics are out there, but the chorus, oh the chorus.

5) I Do -- Paul Brandt --This is one of the most lovely wedding songs ever written and I think of my husband every time I hear it.

6) Sometimes When We Touch - Dan Hill - I know this is a song about unrequited love, but it is still one of my favorites. His voice in this song is so pure and tender, and the lyrics...beautiful..."I want to hold you till I die, until we both break down and cry..." who hasn't felt this way at least once in life.

7) I Love the Way You Love Me -- John Michael Montgomery -Oh those lyrics...unfortunately, Dr. N thinks it is cheesy, but I love it.

8) Angel - Aerosmith - My mom is a huge Aerosmith fan, so I was exposed to their music from childhood and I have to say, I love Steven Tyler's voice. This is one of those 80's songs that gets me every time.

9) Something in Red - Lori Morgan - This song follows a romance from its beginning into marriage. I love how she uses colors to represent various stages. If I could only sing...
