Your Mission, should you choose to accept

[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and I just watched a two hour special presentation that was supposed to be the theme of Love as expressed in songs from Broadway musicals.

Frankly I think they missed the mark BIG time.

So I offer you the challenge: You have just been asked to put together a list of Broadway musical songs that best represent the theme of Love. What do you pick. Please name the song and the musical. If the reason for the song is not immediately obvious, please provide a supporting argument as to why that song should be included.
