UNREQUITED LOVE SONGS

 

How about the "other" love song. Not about breakups or lost loves, but the love that is not returned.

 

My first choice would be a beautiful love song that most people may not think of as unrequited. 

 

"Cherish" - The Association

Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could mold you
Into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish you

I'll Be There: Gerry & The Pacemakers    (This poor guy knows she doesn't love him, and never will, but he's content to be there for her when her relationships blow up. Unrequited love songs are invariably sad because they never have happy endings).
