My mom used to love Monica's song "For You I Will" - I think she liked the melody more than the lyrics, but she'd sing it all the time when it was popular.
I will cross the ocean for youI will go and bring you the moonI will be your hero, your strength, anything you needI will be the sun in your skyI will light your way for all timePromise you, for you I willAww. So I know it's a metaphor for *~how deep love can be~*, but . . . no. I can understand crossing the ocean to get to someone but bringing the moon is just impractical. Where do you expect to keep that? It doesn't fit in a closet.
Also popular is the insinuation that no valley is too low (nor mountain too high) to get to someone; I guess if you have access to a large crane or a helicopter, you're set. Ooh, a love song about a helicopter could be fun . . .
What's your favorite awesomely bad love song cliché? (Bringing the sun, moon, stars or sunset for your love? The phrase "I would die for you"?) If you can't think of one, what's your favorite cheesy love song?

"Close to you" by the Carpenters, hands down! :D
I'd like to think that stars fall down and birds appear everytime that certain someone is around.
And maybe the thought that the angels got together and decided that he's a dream come true!!
Will never tire of this song.
"Just Take My Heart" by Mr.Big..
Just take my heart when you go
I don’t have the need for it anymore
I’ll always love you
But you’re too hard to hold
Just take my heart when you go
Just take my heart when you go
"At the Beginning" sung by Richard Marx & Donna Lewis [Anastasia soundtrack]
I can't single out any section of that song. I love all of it.. reminds me of me & my boyfriend. But the following lines might put it best..
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
"Everything I do, I do it for you..."
Is a little ridiculous... and verging on stalkerish... you go to the toilet for me? Oh jeez,
thanks...I like Meatloaf "I'd lie for you (and that's the true)"
" And you will never see a day I'll ever break your heart, you'll see the sky fall down before it ever gets that far, I'll show you heaven every second that you're in my arms, baby I'm crazy, but I'm crazy about you"
I think for me it'd have to be Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You.
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love
Meat Loaf's "I Would Do Anything For Love "
I would do anything for love, I'd run right into hell and back.
Will you hold me sacred? Will you hold me tight?
Can you colorize my life; I'm so sick of black and white?
Can you make it all a little less old?
Will you make me some magic, with your own two hands? Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand?
I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
Crap, now that song is going to be in my head all day.
There are so many cheesy love songs out there that I can not even think of one to single out. But the song that came immediately to my head was...
1) The Jonas Brothers - When You look me in the Eyes
2) All for One - I Swear"And I swear..By the moon and the stars in the skiesI'll be there..I swear like the shadow that's by your side..I'll be there..For better or worse, 'till death do us part..I'll love you with every beat of my heart..And I swear...""When you look me in the eyes, And tell me that you love me.Everything's alright, When you're right here by my side. When you look me in the eyes, I catch a glimpse of heaven. I find my paradise, When you look me in the eyes."
-Are you kidding me? The one boy is like 15..it's horrible and really cheesy. And I would not even know about this song if it was not for my sister.
-I always thought this song was cheesy even though I will sing to it if it comes on the radio. I was a kid when this came out...
Everything I do, I do it for you by Bryan Adams
Right Here Waiting by Richard Marx :)
If I Ever Leave This World Alive by Flogging Molly (I only know this song because of the movie "PS. I love you.") I still listen to it every now and then though because of the memories it brings back of when I first saw it. And cause it makes me laugh, haha.
"cuz i cant stop loving you
why should i even try"
*twitches*
i do love that song, but that's awful. lol
"when you love someone" by bryan adams. But, that's just one out of several that I like!
"Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley.
I know the song's overdone, but I liked it BEFORE it became a Rickroll...
"Never gonna give you up, never gonna make you cry
Never gonna run around and desert you"
It just gets me every time, because I get to thinking "When am I gonna meet a guy who won't make me cry?" and I get a little choked up. -.-''
@divine_artist@xanga and @Aiyoku_Angel@xanga - I second those songs! Glad I read the comments before going to post them myself. :]
lol...but I like them. It is an exaggeration but isn't it the tought that counts, or to the very least how they can express themselves so romantically, even homureous like in "It's a Wonderful Life."
"I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston :)
love that song
I love that rick astley song!
the song that came to mind as I read the OP was Paul McCartney's Silly Love Songs
Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs
What's wrong with that? I want to knowwww....
My favorite music is centered around love!!
you make me whole - amel larriuex (sp?)
my friend sung that song at her wedding for her new husband.. i was crying like a lil' bitch... hahaha
it's has such beautiful lyrics... :)
Aerosmith - I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing or Boyz II Men - End of the Road.
Take your pick.
pet shot boys-human league
its so friggen anoying.
all Backstreet Boys songs-- "All I have to give", "Shape of my heart"...
there are many cheesy love songs-- the ones mentioned about are true..and the initial blog post Monica song is definitely cheesy.
@GodArt@xanga - @raiderjester@xanga - I concur! Great songs, but annoyingly catchy...
^^^ Pretty much everything mentioned before... good songs but if some guy ever tried to say those things to me I would be like YEAH RIGHT. Try being honest for a change.
I like the song "Hero" by Connersvine the most right now. These guys are honest. They don't make a bunch of promises they can't keep (in fact, much of the song is saying what they CAN'T do!), but they still say all the ways they would try to make their love show. :)
"I am the man who will fight for your honor
I am the hero you've been dreaming of"
Of course, you didn't hear me tell you that.
