Wow.. nothing but breakup songs and situations.. Here's the opposite.

My girlfriend had complianed a few times that her relationships never lasted over 3 months. So near the 3 month mark I played this song for her to let her know that I was serious about wanting a relationship with her. By the end of the song she was crying she was so happy.

"The Luckiest" by Ben Folds

i don't get many things right the first time
in fact, i am told that a lot
now i know all the wrong times,
the stumbles and falls
brought me here
and where was i before the day
that i first saw your lovely face?
now i see it everyday, and i know...

that i am, i am
i am the luckiest

what if i'd been born 50 years before you
in a house on the street where you lived
maybe i'd be outside as you passed on your bike
would i know?
and in a wide sea of eyes
i see one pair that i recognize
and i know...

that i am, i am
i am the luckiest

i love you more than i have ever found a way to say to you

next door there's an old man,
who lived to his 90s and one day
passed away in his sleep
and his wife, she stayed for a couple of days
and passed away
i'm sorry i know that's a strange way to tell you that i know we belong
that i know...

that i am, i am
i am the luckiest

Later on she responded with Ben Harper's "Beloved One". That was 4 years ago. We're still together.
