Are These Classic Broadway's 15 Most Lushly Romantic Moments?

Broadway can go romantic from shy and subtle to double-decibel level rapture.
And that makes it's hard to choose classic Broadway's most romantic musical moments. But we've wattles our list down to 15 with the sincere hope that you'll remind us what we're missing so we can grow to 20, 25, 30, maybe even 50.
Most of our choices are lovelorn duets and we've tried to be representative with selections from Rodgers and Hammerstein (the masters of the genre) Frank Loesser, Lerner and Loewe, Cole Porter, Bernstein, Sondheim, Kurt Weill, Irving Berlin Llyod Webber and Meredith Willson.
So, here there are in no particular order:

Here I’ll Stay 

From Kurt Weill's Love Life, it's rarely heard these days but the musical is soon to be revived by City Center's Encores.

All I Ask of You 

A sweet and tender moment from Phantom of the Opera, it literally soars into a full-throated lovefest.
If I Loved You 

If, if, if  . . . if only we could bottle the magic of Carousel. A dreamy love-at-first-sight moment from a musical centered around a tragic figure.
Happiness 

Passion is hardly our favorite musical but [So Much] Happiness expresses the joy of young love via a mesmerizing melody in such a way that it had to make the cut.

The Last Night of the World 

Love amidst the horror of war in Miss Saigon. It brings hope in the midst of despair and a dash of light into a dark world.
People Will Say We’re In Love 

Meant to be sung as it was in the original, this song conjures up the innocence of new love on the fresh, open plains of Oklahoma! The most American of love songs.

Some Enchanted Evening 

From South Pacific and written for the operatic talents on Enzio Pinza, it's simply one of the most beautiful love songs ever composed.  You may see a stranger . . . . 

Tonight 

From West Sure Story, and again depicting young lovers, it's the perfect combination of the words of Sondheim and the music of Bernstein. Genius squared. "I saw you and the world went away . . . ."

A Heart Full of Love 

Here  we go again, love and war from Les Miserables. The lead up to the lovers' revelation is near excruciating but it's all miraculously worth it.

Make Believe 

Our personal favorite, from Show Boat, it's the grandaddy of them all-- the one from which all the others emerged. It reminds us that a breathless leap of love requires the suspension of disbelief.

I’ve Never Been In Love Before 

Not a big, soaring song but the sweet melody turns a tough guy tender; and his dreams and surprising sense of romance are universal in Guys n Dolls.

They Say It’s Wonderful

From Annie Get Your Gun, Irving Berlin takes a page from Rodgers and Hammerstein. then turns it into a song that's all about being in love and wanting the whole world to know it. 

Too Many Mornings 

From Follies, Sondheim explains that the "lovers" here are really engaging in a sham as they try to convince themselves that everything would have been wonderful if they'd only wound up together in the first place. From this folly emerges a nonetheless beautiful love song.

So In Love 

We just heard it again in the glorious Broadway revival of *Kiss Me Kate and in context it's haunting, bittersweet and altogether unforgettable. But it works just as well on its own.

Till There Was You 

From  The Music Man, it reminds us of the transformative power of love. Indeed, Love changes everything. But, wait -- wasn't that a love song from the  musical of the same name? 😉

A few more? Ten Minutes Ago from Cinderella, My Heart Is So Full of You from The Most Happy Fella, On the Street Where You Live from My Fair Lady, If Ever I Would Leave You from Camelot, Song on the Sand La Cage Aux Folles, Married from Cabaret.
