A good country love song does a couple of things. First, it takes a story that, at first glance, is cliche and turns it into something resoundingly relatable. Second, it lets the music pull your heartstrings. That's why the genre is perfect for when you're in the mood for romance! We've gathered some of the best of these tender county love songs to sweep you and your sweetheart off your feet.
There are songs for every occasion, whether you enjoy the classic '70s songs like "You Decorated My Life" by Kenny Rogers, contemporary renditions of '80s songs like "Tennessee Whiskey" by Chris Stapleton, or more modern pop-country hits like "Love Story" by Taylor Swift. When it comes to duets, you'll find yourself instantly charmed by the chemistry between artists like Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers ("Islands in the Stream") and real-life couple Faith Hill and Tim McGraw ("It's Your Love").
Most of these hit country songs can be described as feel-good or happy songs about the magic of falling in love, but as we all know, love doesn't always work out the way we want it to. There are country love songs for those heartbreaking moments, too, like "How Do I Live" by LeAnn Rimes (or Trisha Yearwood—take your pick and you can't go wrong with either!), or "Need You Now" by Lady A. Click through this collection of country love songs to find your favorites, or create a playlist of all of these classics for a romantic evening with your sweetheart.
