Best 80s Love Ballads: Timeless Romantic Classics Playlist

He carried books and walked me home. We talked beneath the garden dome. He made me laugh, he made me sigh, and never knew he'd caught my eye. The boy next door, he stole my heart with every wave and simple start. And though he left to chase the blue, I still believe he loves me too. The boy next door, he stole my heart with every wave and simple start. And though he left to chase the blue, I still believe he loves me too. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Twirled me round on rainy streets, in saddle shoes and tapping feet. The thunder clapped we kissed so slow, then danced where other girls won't go. Dancing in the rain again, pretending we're still more than friends. If dreams could bring you back my way, I'd hold you close and beg you stay. Dancing in the rain again, pretending we're still more than friends. If dreams could bring you back my way, I'd hold you close and beg you stay. I'd hold you close, we'd say one thing to say for you. Army gun, my homie, left me two, two. Dancing in the rain again, pretending we're still more than friends. If dreams could bring you back my way, I'd hold you close and beg you stay. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. I wear your jacket every spring. It smells like hope and silver rings. You never said you loved me true, but every smile just said you do. Only you could know my soul. Fill every piece, make me whole. And though the world may never see, Fill every piece, make me whole. And though the world may never see, Only you knew all of me. You at form four, you looked so brave, I loved you more. The steam and smoke took you away, But in my heart you're here to stay. Train to Chicago, roll back time, And bring me back what once was mine. I'll wait beneath the station light For one more kiss, one more night. Train to Chicago, roll back time, And bring me back what once was mine. I'll wait beneath the station light For one more kiss, one more cue. The screen lit up your golden face. We shared a straw, we shared a space. You whispered jokes and held me near, Then disappeared the following year. Stars over the drive-in glow, They saw love the world won't know. Each Friday night I still go back To sit inside your Pontiac. Stars over the drive-in glow, They saw love the world won't know. Each Friday night I still go back To sit inside your Pontiac. You left your notes by candlelight With hearts and poems soft and bright. I read them now with tearful grain, Still see your smile in every trace. Letters on my pillow stay, Reminding me you're just away. Your hand no longer writes, I sleep with love through all the nights. You left your notes by candlelight With hearts and poems soft and bright. I read them now with tearful grain, Still see your smile in every trace. Letters on my pillow stay, Reminding me you're just away. And though your hand no longer writes, I sleep with love through all the nights. You left your notes by candlelight With hearts and poems soft and bright. I read them now with tearful grain, Still see your smile in every trace. You held my hand above the tide, We laughed and danced, you spun me wide. The carousel, the cotton air, It felt like no one else was there. Summer at the pier still plays In every breeze and golden haze. Though years have passed and tides have flown, You're still the boy I call my own. Summer at the pier still plays In every breeze and golden haze. Though years have passed and tides have flown, You're still the boy I call mine. He calls me darling when I cry And wipes the tear drops from my eye. He brings me flowers, sings me tunes, And walks me home by silver moon. He calls me darling, soft and low, The kind of love you always know. No diamond ring, no fancy pearl, Just this sweet boy who changed my world. No diamond ring, no fancy pearl, Just this sweet boy who changed my world. I watched you walk down Maple Lane, Your suitcase full of summer rain. You smiled and said you'd write to me, But letters never crossed the sea. Where did you go, my darling dear? I wait for you year after year. The jukebox plays our favorite song, But darling, you've been gone too long. I watched you walk down Maple Lane, Your suitcase full of summer rain. You smiled and said you'd write to me, But letters never crossed the sea. Be strong tonight. He held you close, but not so tight. He kissed your lips, then said goodbye. Now all you do is sit and cry, Little heart of mine. Don't break in two. He might come back to dance with you Until he does just shine and glow Like you did so long ago. Little heart of mine. Don't break in two. He might come back to dance with you Until he does just shine and glow Like you did so long ago. We sat and talked till half past nine. You said one day you'd make me shine. The stars were bright, the breeze was slow, And now I sit where whispers go. Whispers by the windowpane Telling me you've come again. I press my hand where yours once lay And hope you're not too far away. Whispers by the windowpane Telling me you've come again. I press my hand where yours once lay And hope you're not too far away. The boardwalk lights, the ocean breeze, You pulled me close with gentle ease. And though my shoes were full of sand, You kissed me sweet and held my hand. First kiss of June, how could I forget The way the stars and sea had met? If time could turn and skies rewind, You'd still be here, your lips on mine. Ah, ah, ah. First kiss of June, how could I forget The way the stars and sea had met If time could turn and skies rewind You'd still be here, your lips are mine He had a smile like movie screens And eyes that sparkled summer dreams He rode the waves, he stole my heart But sailor boys don't stay, they part Oh Johnny from the coast, come home Don't let this girl be all alone You promised me a wedding ring But left me with this song to sing You promised me a wedding ring But left me with this song to sing I slipped a note into your hand The night you left for a foreign land It said I'll wait, my heart is true And every word still waits for you Please don't forget me, my only one You shine much brighter than the sun If you recall our love so strong You'll know I've waited all along So I slipped a note into your hand The night you left for a foreign land It said always, my heart is true And everyone still waits for you Your suitcase full of summer rain You smiled and said you'd write to me But letters never cross the sea Where did you go, my darling dear?
