Well, it's almost Valentine's Day, and I'm sure there are many of you are out there burning CD's that tell of your...burning love.  Let's try to think a little outside the box and not go with the typical sappy "Open Arms" type ballad (not that there is anything wrong with that song)

Songs about love that are peppy, dancy, happy.  Not necessarily "slow dancing" songs:
'Deed I Do - Blossom Dearie
I'll Cover You from "Rent"
Red Magic Marker - Amanda Marshall (this song is more of a "hey wake up can't you see how I feel" song.)
Breathe Your Name - Sixpence None the Richer
Too Much Passion - The Smithereens
I'll Be Your Shelter - Taylor Dayne
Promises - Def Leppard
I Get Weak - Belinda Carlisle (this one is a personal fav)
Our Love - Natalie Cole
Stand Here With Me - Creed
Count On Me - Default
Get Closer - Seals & Croft
Stars - Simply Red ( love it!! )
My Destiny - Lionel Richie

Ballad type tunes:
At Last - Raul Malo (what can I say, I love him)
Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton
I Just Can't Stop Loving You - Michael Jackson
Lovin' You - Minnie Ripperton
I'm In You - Peter Frampton

Sexy tunes:
You're The Boss - Brian Setzer Orchestra with Gwen Stefani
Crazy for You - Adele
Love Thy Will Be Done - Martika

Country:
Love In the First Degree - Alabama
It's Your Love - Tim McGraw w/Faith Hill

And some of "the obvious":
Open Arms - Journey
Keep on Lovin' You - REO Speedwagon
Can't Help Falling In Love With You - Elvis
Waiting For A Girl Like You - Foreigner
Truly Madly Deeply - Savage Garden

That should give you a good start on some different kinds of love songs to send to your Valentine.
