Country music has the ability to convey all kinds of emotions, from laughter and joy to sadness and heartbreak. Some of the most powerful country songs are about the emotion that can cause all of those feelings: love. And to make listeners truly believe, the country music industry has plenty of real-life couples to record beautiful songs together (yes, we’re looking at you, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill!) that truly make our hearts swoon.
Of course, many classic country songs that you know all the words to are all about L-O-V-E. From the more obvious love songs like Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” to '90s country hits like “You're Still the One” by Shania Twain to recent hits including "Golden Hour" by Kacey Musgraves, "You Make It Easy" by Jason Aldean, and "Back to Life" by Rascal Flatts, it’s safe to say that country singers past and present know a thing or two about writing and recording love songs.
Whether you're in a new relationship, have been in love for years, or maybe you're still looking for that special someone, you'll enjoy listening to these romantic song lyrics. No matter what you're in the mood for—a slow ballad or something a bit more upbeat—this best-of list has plenty of songs you'll no doubt be adding to your next playlist. (Check out our best Valentine's Day songs too for more love-filled tunes.)
