I’m partial to Without You as sung by Harry Nilsson. I first heard that song on my parent’s phonograph when it first came out and it still haunts me.

I can’t say what I think the greatest love song is, but I am fond of “Come What May” from Moulin Rouge, “Amazed” by Lonestar, and “I’ll Still Be Loving You” by Restless Heart.

**Happy Wanderer** , listen to the version of “Your Song” by Ewan McGreggor on the _Moulin Rouge_ soundtrack…
