Valentine's Day is right around the corner, which means we're all
scrambling to find the perfect Valentine's Day gift for your spouse,
girlfriend, or boyfriend, along with the just-right Valentine's Day
message to write in a card. Sometimes, it's difficult to find the right
words to express how you feel. But a song can say it all, and in some
cases, better than we ever could! Here, we've rounded up some of the
best romantic song lyrics—from Nat King Cole to Bruno Mars—from our
favorite Valentine's Day songs and best country love songs. Whether
you're looking for a sweet opening line for your Valentine's Day love
letter or you're simply a hopeless romantic looking to indulge yourself,
this list is for you.

Look to the classics, like Etta James ("At last...my love has come along")
or Frank Sinatra ("Some day, when I'm awfully low, when the world is
cold, I will feel a glow just thinking of you and the way you look
tonight"), for good old-fashioned sentiment. But don't ignore more
current tunes, like Coldplay's "Yellow" ("Look at the stars, look how they
shine for you and everything you do...") or Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris" ("And
I'd give up forever to touch you, 'cause I know that you feel me
somehow") for meaningful quotes and phrases. Whichever words you
pick, you can't go wrong with one of these romantic Valentine's Day
