I forgot about Pale Blue Eyes and Love Me. That's so weird you said those. They both came to mind when I first saw the thread, then I forgot about them. One Night is pretty raunchy, though. Halah is the most romatic Mazzy Star song too, in my opinion.

here are some heartbreakers, in a romantic sense,

Last Goodbye, Jeff Buckley
Since You're Gone, Cars (the nights are getting strange)
Ain't No Sunshine, Bill Withers
Fire and Rain, James Taylor

and a few unabashedly romantic songs,

Wildflowers, Tom Petty
Razorface, Elton John
Al Green, most everything....mainly, Let's Stay Together
Are You Lonesome Tonight, Elvis Presley
Prince, most everything, but especially the Purple Rain (fucking brilliant), and specifically, I Would Die 4 U

I better stop.

PS, "I Walk the Line" by the Johnny Cash is one hell of a romantic tune too.

Oh, and "I Only Have Eyes For You" is a good, wholesome classic, too.
