Since Valentines Day is nearing, I want to make a mixed cd for my beloved. What is the most romantic song you can think of? For me it would be "The Way You Look Tonight"-Tony Bennett and "Fly Me To The Moon"-Diana Krall

+1 for that (signed the register to that song when we got married...)

Another vote for Dusty, too - this time the brilliant Burt Bacharach/Hal David The Look of Love:
