There are one or two Garth Brooks songs that I enjoy, but one that always twists my soul is "The Dance" mostly because it was one of the last songs my late wife and I ever danced to.

OK, I blew it, when I type a long post, I usually do it offline and then copy and paste, and somewhere in the transition I dropped "Blue Moon" by Julie London (not a classic, but a good rendition with deeper meaning) and "Deep Purple"

The sentence should have read: ""Blue Moon" by Julie London; and "Deep Purple" by Helen Forrest, and by Nino Temple and April Stevens, for different reasons.

My late wife was a classically trained pianist and just hated the Marcells' version of Blue Moon and could tolerate the Nino Temple Deep Purple because of a couple of interesting musical things. I have been working on the harmonica part for years.

Too many to choose from.

"Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" associates with my late wife.

As does "If He Walked into My Life"

And "More"

"Along Comes Mary" by The Association because that summer was - THAT summer and I dated, briefly, a girl named Mary.

"Amazing Grace"

"Do You Love Me? (Now That I Can Dance)", ""Land of 1000 Dances", "Dancing in the Streets" also from THAT summer, when as a teenager I participated in the inception of dirty dancing right where the movie took place.

"Black Velvet" by Robin Lee because my wife and I danced to it, it is OUR song.

"Blue Moon" by Helen Forrest, and by Nino Temple and April Stevens, for different reasons.

So many others.
