Inside: Too many love songs are about broken hearts, but these beautiful love song quotes will put a smile on your partner’s face.
A lot of the most popular “love” songs are actually about broken hearts.
But when you want to share love song quotes with your partner in a sweet, off-the-cuff text in the middle of the day, Sam Smith isn’t exactly the right vibe. (I mean…”And deep down I know this never works, but you can lay with me so it doesn’t hurt”?)
Which is why my husband and I started an epic love songs playlist as an ongoing love letter to each other – filled with modern, happy songs about love.
Real love – not heartbreak or betrayal or stalking. And nothing disgustingly sappy, either.
You probably won’t hear these gems on the radio, but they’ve got the best love song quotes for sharing with your partner.

Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea
