Baby i've been searching like everybody else
Can't say nothing different about myself
Sometimes i'm an angel
And sometimes i'm cruel
And when it comes to love
I'm just another fool
Yes, i'll climb a mountain
I'm gonna swim the sea
There ain't no act of god girl
Could keep you safe from me
My arms are reaching out
Out across this canyon
I'm asking you to be my true companion
True companion
True companion
So don't you dare and try to walk away
I've got my heart set on our wedding day
I've got this vision of a girl in white
Made my decision that it's you allright
And when i take your hand
I'll watch my heart set sail
I'll take my trembling fingers
And i'll lift up your veil
Then i'll take you home
And with wild abandon
Make love to you just like a true companion
You are my true companion
I got a true companion
True companion
When the years have done irreparable harm
I can see us walking slowly arm in arm
Just like the couple on the corner do
'cause girl i will always be in love with you
And when i look in your eyes
I'll still see that spark
Until the shadows fall
Until the room grows dark
Then when i leave this earth
I'll be with the angels standin'
I'll be out there waiting for my true companion
Just for my true companion
True companion
True companion
Other than that, some of (Richard) Strauss' "Four last Songs" sung by mezzo-soprano Jesseye Norman. Guaranteed to send shivers down your spine and cover you with goosebumps, especially the song called "Morgan."

Okay, now DH wants a real vote. "Then I'll Try Something New" by Smokey Robinson. Partial lyric:
"I will build you a castle with a tower so high, it reaches the moon.
There we will walk, with your hand in my hand, I'll compose you a
tune. And we can play on the Milky Way, and if that don't do, then
I'll try something new."
