“I'll Be,” Edwin McCain

This is one of my favorite songs ever. Edwin McCain is well-versed in the art of romance, and this beautiful ballad proves it. Who doesn't want to hear lyrics like these when slow dancing with someone they're really into?

“Fall for You,” Secondhand Serenade

Secondhand Serenade is one of my favorite bands and John Vesely one of my favorite singers – that voice! Any number of his songs could have gone on here – “Vulnerable,” “Your Call,” “Awake” – because they all make for great slow-dancing songs, but this one is so romantic I had to go with it. Seriously, that voice! And off-topic but still relevant, if you ever get the chance to hear an acoustic show, do it! John gets tipsy but he sounds even better when it's just him and his guitar.

“Unchained Melody,” Righteous Brothers

This is totally classic, totally beautiful, and totally sweet. If you're in love, or even in like, then it will always be relevant. Every time I hear this, I always flash back to that scene in Ghost – but that's no bad thing when you're dancing slow and close!

“100 Years,” Five for Fighting

This is one of my favorite slow-dancing songs, mainly because of the message. Time really is fleeting and you need to make the most of it. So, always make time to slow dance with your lover – to this song, or any other!

UPD:

"100 Years" by Five for Fighting is a romantic slow-dancing song with a powerful message about making the most of the time we have. The song was released in 2003 and has become a classic for couples looking for a meaningful song to slow dance to.

The song's lyrics talk about how time passes quickly and how it's important to appreciate the moments we have with our loved ones. The song speaks to the idea that we should make the most of our time together and not take the little moments for granted. The soft melody and simple instrumentation of the song make it an ideal slow-dancing song.

The music video for "100 Years" features a couple slow-dancing together, further emphasizing the message of the song. It also shows the couple at different stages of their relationship, from the beginning when they first meet to the end when they are saying goodbye. This emphasizes the idea that time is fleeting and that we should make the most of it.

“I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing,” Aerosmith

Speaking of living life to its fullest, Steven Tyler is surprisingly awesome at getting to the romance of things. You might not think Aerosmith is the greatest choice for a slow dance, but give this a listen. I promise you'll change your mind.

“Unforgettable,” Nat King Cole

Actually, there are several versions of this that work, but I went with the original. It's one of the most romantic slow-dancing songs you'll ever hear. Again, who doesn't want to think they're unforgettable to the person they're slow-dancing with?

UPD:

Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable" is a timeless classic that has been covered by many artists, including Natalie Cole, who released a duet version with her father in 1991. The song has been featured in countless movies, television shows, and commercials. It's an iconic love song that will always remain popular.

“Everything I do (I do It for You),” Bryan Adams

Yeah, I know, it's Bryan Adams. But this really is a romantic song. During my sixth grade dances, everyone clamored for it. And I mean, it's the theme to (one of the many, many, many versions of) Robin Hood. That's high romance, right there. Besides, Bryan Adams used to be really awesome.

Slow-dancing songs like these take me back to the dewy days of my youth, even though they didn't happen all that long ago. Some of the best slow-dancing songs are old-school classics, while others are brand new. What are your favorite slow-dancing songs? Don't be afraid to share if yours didn't make the list!
