 Bella Maria de Mi Alma (Beautiful Maria of My Soul)  by Antonio Banderas.   

The video might be a little smarmy, and for plot line purposes Armand Asante is shown singing, though it was sung by Antonio Banderas.  But one need not speak a word of Spanish grasp the romance of this beautiful song.  If you've never heard it...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxyY0_x2fec


Mink DeVille. Just To Walk That Little Girl Home. And from a great classic Mickey Roark movie The Pope of Greenwich Village.
Come on gang, actually some great selections here.

But how about “At Last”, Etta James!
The other day I was buying a CD called Compact Jazz by Oscar Peterson. The woman who was checking my purchase out was reading the songs on the CD. She said oh my God, The Shadow of your Smile, and began to cry. So in honor of Joanne, easily in her sixties, I'm submitting The Shadow of Your Smile which is admittedly a stunningly romantic song. She's originally from Italy so I'm guessing Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett would have been her pick.
I don't know the title of this song or singer.  I heard it on a 24 hour no commercials or talk, all Christmas music nights.
  
Song was about this young man driving to a school Christmas party.  He saw this girl walking.  Picked her up.  Took her to the dance.  They had a great time.  On the way home she said she was cold so he lent her his jacket.  Dropped her off at her house and good nights.  On his way home he forgot about his jacket.  Went back to the house he dropped her off at.  Knocked on the door and this elderly man answered.  He told this man about this young lady he just dropped off there and his jacket. The elder man got upset.  Explaining that she died on this night a year ago on her way to a school party.  Unbelieving, the father? takes him to her grave.  Hanging on a tree next to her grave was his jacket. 
Wow....
"Accidentally Like A Martyr"

The phone don't ring
And the sun refused to shine
Never thought I'd have to pay so dearly
For what was already mine
For such a long, long time

We made mad love
Shadow love
Random love
And abandoned love
Accidentally like a martyr
The hurt gets worse and the heart gets harder

The days slide by
Should have done, should have done, we all sigh
Never thought I'd ever be so lonely
After such a long, long time
Time out of mind

We made mad love
Shadow love
Random love
And abandoned love
Accidentally like a martyr
The hurt gets worse and the heart gets harder

@ghasley and @bigaud, Billy Paul's version of Elton John's Your Song is the best!
Lots of good choices here, but I'll add one: Holly Coles' rendition of Tom Waits' "Take Me Home" on the album "Temptation". Just wow.

Roberta Flack - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - 1957 folk song written by Scottish political singer/songwriter Ewan MacColl

The Moon Represents My Heart - YouTube, My first posting as well. I won't repeat some of my other favs that have already been listed here. This song sung by an amazing vocalist, Zhao Peng. The translation is noted from one of the comments.... Zhaoyu Chen3 years ago His name is Peng Zhao, nicknamed "vocal subwoofer." He is one of my favorite singers. For unknown reason, he is not one of the top-notch singers in China though. Anyway, I love his voice and most of his songs. As far as I know, there is no English version for this song, for which the original singer was Terasa Teng, who is the most renowned Chinese female singer EVER. However, I can translate the lyrics as follows: You ask me how much I love you. to what extent I love you. My affection is true, and my love is true; the moon represents my heart.You ask me how much I love you. to what extent I love you. My affection will not switch, and my love will not change; the moon represents my heart. So gentle is a kiss, and I am so moved by it; so deep is the love, and I'm still keeping it in my mind up to now. You ask me how much I love you. to what extent I love you. You want to ponder it, and you want to look at it; the moon represents my heart. (Interlude)You ask me how much I love you. to what extent I love you. My affection will not switch, and my love will not change; the moon represents my heart. So gentle is a kiss, and I am so moved by it; so deep is the love, and I'm still keeping it in my mind up to now. You ask me how much I love you. to what extent I love you. You want to ponder it, and you want to look at it; the moon represents my heart. You want to ponder it, and you want to look at it; the moon represents my heart.
Hands down most romantic -
