[Moonlit_Angel]

I Can't Make You Love Me - Bonnie Raitt
Jealous Guy - John Lennon

.

"Long, Long Time" by Linda Ronstadt is another good one to add-very sad song, yes, but the sentiment is really sweet. Same with "Same Old Lang Syne" by Dan Fogelberg. Both songs just hit that certain spot for me.
