The 100 Most Beautiful Song Lyrics

Most beautiful songs as submitted by readers of the FREE IntenseExperiences.com newsletter - now the most popular & unique personal growth and motivation newsletter in the world.
Compiled by Brian Vaszily, Founder of IntenseExperiences.com


PLEASE HOLD ON ... before you see the most beautiful songs list directly below you'll definitely want to read this first:

In the previous IntenseExperiences.com article Five Most Beautiful Songs, I asked the tens of thousands of readers of the FREE Intense Experiences newsletter to tell me their personal choice for one song with the most beautiful lyrics ... and the response was absolutely overwhelming!

While I could have compiled a much longer list, I had to have a cut-off point for the songs cited the most times, and the Top 100 most beautiful songs seemed ideal.

"Intense Experiences" are enlightening and enjoyable experiences that transform you in very positive ways... and that's exactly what the FREE IntenseExperiences.com newsletter provides tens of thousands of dedicated readers each week.

One More Thing About This Most Beautiful Songs List Below

When reviewing the list of the most beautiful song lyrics below, perhaps you'll wonder what "beautiful" means. Beauty is in the eye and ear of the beholder ultimately, but when you click each of the songs with the most beautiful lyrics below, you'll find that "beauty" has tended to fall into one of four categories for those who submitted their choices already:

- Falling in love, being in love, trying to stay in love
- Having loved and then losing it (bittersweet beauty)
- Honoring Moms, Dads, children ... and brothers who ain't heavy
- Giving of yourself, persevering, and holding onto faith and hope

So without further adieu, the list...
