A song that is significant for me is Torn Between Two Lovers, by Mary MacGregor.
I was 22, and in my first serious long term relationship.
She was 6 years older than me and had three children. She was divorced although she still loved her husband, as he had tried to murder her in the street in front of her children and a street full of shoppers, she saw no future in their marriage.
I asked her to marry me, she said no, and said: "So, this will be the last I'll see of you, then?"
I said: "No, I asked you to marry me because if I get married, I want to get married to you. But if you don't want to marry me, then I still want to be in a relationship with you."
She looked shocked and said: "Oh!" She then looked sad and said: "I think there's something you should know. It's only fair, seeing how serious you are about me. I have another boy friend, who I am also seeing."
I actually felt as if I was going to be sick! I thought my world had ended. She saw the expression on my face and she hugged me and cuddled me and she told me that it wasn't my fault, that she loved me and that she also loved him, but in a different way.
When I got home I was feeling pretty cut up about it. I put the radio on and, it must have been fate, the DJ had just started to play Torn Between Two Lovers. This was the first time I had heard it.
I found that song was balm to my tortured soul and even now, 33 years later, it still evokes all those feelings in me.
Did the relationship survive? It lasted for about four years, when she left me for a woman.
Not silly at all, MiM! I do things like that all the time with my kids.
I'd say "You're My Little Girl" by Go Fish. There are a few versions of it. Love them all. And it's very special for my angel girl and me. Whenever she is sick, or hurting, she crawls into my lap (she's 5) and I sing this to her as she cuddles with me.
ETA: I have mentioned a few times that I lost a lot, and I mean a LOT of weight due to weight loss surgery. My top weight was 467 pounds. When I became pregnant with my daughter, I was roughly 290. Around that same time, every time I looked in the mirror, I saw that 467 pound woman. It didn't matter how thin my face was, or anything else...I saw what I used to be. Then, my sister said "Hey, listen to this song"... I did, and I cried. It put my feelings into words. So, this song is very special to me for that reason as well.
My husband and I were road-tripping New Zealand during winter. We stopped at a remote cafe for lunch and ran from the car because it was so cold. The mountains nearby were peaked with white. There were only two other tables of patrons there. It had a relaxed feel about the place, lots of dark wooden furniture and a fire going. The waiter sat us close to the fire. I took my gloves off and hubs took my hands in his and rubbed them to warm me up. We ordered soup and as we ate there was music playing. My husband loved the music. He asked which album it was and wrote down the artist's name. It's not really my style of music but I loved how keen he was to find it. I love that he loves it. As we stopped in little towns on our travels, he was asking at the music stores if they had the album. He didn't have any luck finding it so when we got back home, he ordered it online.
This song, he's played to me many times...... he's recited the lyrics for me, he's sung the song to me over the phone when we were away from each other, and it touches me for that reason. When I hear it, it just gives me a beautiful warm feeling because it makes me think of my husband.
When she first told me she was interested in both of us getting together, at first I really didn't feel anything for her, we were " just friends." [ She is older than me ]
On night I came home from work around midnight. The phone rang,and she told me to turn on the radio to a particular station.
This song was playing.
We talked from midnight straight till morning on that phone.
From that night,she began to call me every night , as soon as I reached home from work,and sometimes we would talk till either one of us dropped to sleep.
HB and I have been together since his senior year of high school (I still had two more years to go). We each were dating someone else for most of the year however really liked each other. Our song is Love can build a bridge by the Judds, because it took us the whole school year to get together.

Absolutely love that song! Have always loved the Judds! Every time I sing, I take Naomi's part (alto)
Well, if picking "Our Song"..... that would be "Amazed" by Lonestar. we had never had a chance to dance with each other, in all our dates before getting married. We got married on a Friday afternoon. My cousin got married the next day. When we were at the reception, the very first song we ever danced to was the very first song we danced to as husband and wife... "Amazed".

Forever and Ever Amen By Randy Travis, the second verse especially! It says "Time takes a toll on a body, makes a young girl's brown hair turn gray. But honey I don't care I ain't in love with your hair. If it all fell out I'd love you anyway." Well I had Hodgkins Lymphoma and had to have chemo and my hair did fall out and he loved me through it!

I have one of those small mp3 clocks with an SD card with music that my wife and I listen to when we're sitting on the loveseat in our bedroom. It starts with "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" from the Platters.
I civic group held a dance after a high school football game in my hometown, while I was in college. I guess I was popular in school - but my wife said that she assumed that I would never notice her. She was there with friends. All night, I was trying to make my way over to her, but danced with a lot of people. When they announced this song, I excused myself from a group of friends and found my future wife. She was trembling as we danced to this song.
