You Send Me -- Sam Cooke.
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes -- The Platters:
They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
I of course replied
Something here inside cannot be denied
They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
When your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes.
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes!

Unchained Melody is one that comes to mind, despite the "Ghost" factor.

True Companion
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 alright
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

I am my own jukebox.
I thought everyone paid attention to lyrics, meanings and symbolism, but I know that I am in a nerdy minority.

I've been hearing Bob Dylan a lot lately. Distinctive style, but great poetry.

I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together, and won't it be fine
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always, I'm with you rain or shine
Harold Arlen

That was my parents' wedding song. High drama for a couple of early-20s lovebirds.
