On Valentine's Day you won't find a shortage of love songs. You'll hear them on the radio all day long, and just about every blogger breathing oxygen will have their own special Valentine's Day list. I'm just one of them.

This list of love songs is not compiled based on sales or votes, but on my own personal ideas about what makes a timeless love song. 

When selecting these songs I required each one to be an uplifting or positive love song. There are so many great songs about heartbreak and longing, but I tried to focus on songs that convey a feeling of being in love. The very best of these were inspired by the songwriter's real life feelings about someone, and although I will admit a couple of them may rub up close to the cheese-line, there's no denying every song conveys the emotion of romantic love powerfully.

So although your personal picks will be different than mine, this playlist is a perfect listen on Valentine's Day.
