10 Timeless love songs to propose to (with lyrics)

 

 

1. Perfect - Ed Sheeran

 

Lyrics to make her heart melt: “Well, I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know/ She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home / I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets/ To carry love, to carry children of our own”

 

 

2. Love You For A Long Time - Maggie Rogers

 

Lyrics that set the mood: And in the morning when you wake me up/ I know that forever could never be enough/ I feel it in my body, know it in my mind/ Oh, I, I'm gonna love you for a long time”

 

 

3. 1 + 1 - Beyonce

 

Lyrics that add up to lasting love: “One plus one equals two/ And it's me and you/ That's all we'll have when the world is through ('cause baby)/ We ain't got nothing without love/ Darling you got enough for the both of us (so come on baby)... Make love to me/ When my days look low/ Pull me in close and don't let me go”

4. Anyone - Justin Bieber 

 

Lyrics for your only one: You are the only one I'll ever love / Yeah, you, if it's not you, it's not anyone / Looking back on my life/ You're the only good I've ever done… Forever's not enough time to Love you the way that I want/ 'Cause every morning I find you/ I fear the day that I don't”

 

 

5. All of Me - John Legend 

 

Lyrics on imperfectly perfect love: 'Cause all of me loves all of you / Love your curves and all your edges/ All your perfect imperfections / Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you/ You're my end and my beginning/ Even when I lose, I'm winning / 'Cause I give you all of me / And you give me all of you”

 

 

6. To Make You Feel My Love - Adele

 

Lyrics with a little love nudge: “I know you haven't made your mind up yet/ But I will never do you wrong/ I've known it from the moment that we met/ No doubt in my mind where you belong”

7. Making Memories of Us - Keith Urban

 

Lyrics to make memories to: "I wanna sleep with you forever, and I wanna die in your arms, in a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm. And I'm gonna love you, like nobody loves you, and I'll earn your trust, makin' memories of us"

 

 

8. Marry Me - Train 

 

Lyrics to say you want to spend forever together: “Forever can never be long enough for me/ to feel like I've had long enough with you… Marry me / Today and every day.”

 

 

9. Marry Me - Jason Derulo

 

Lyrics to tell her that she’s irreplaceable: How many girls in the world can make me feel like this? / Baby, I don't ever plan to find out / The more I look, the more I find the reasons why / You're the love of my life

 

 

10. Late Night Talking - Harry Styles

 

Lyrics for a late night love: “We've been doin' all this late night talkin'/ 'Bout anythin' you want until the mornin'/ Now you're in my life/ I can't get you off my mind… I've never been a fan of change/ But I'd follow you to any place/ If it's Hollywood or Bishopsgate/ I'm coming too”
