    Someone mentioned Jason Isbell.

    May I submit “Cigarettes and Wine”?

    Mrs. Whitman and I did our first wedding dance to Todd Snider’s “All My Life.”

    Always loved this couplet:

    I needed some company then, not sisters or children or men
    That's a hell of a spot to be in, but she put me in tow

    Probably been mentioned by now but I've always been partial to "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers.

    Surprised this hasn't been mentioned (if it was, I am missing it), but I have always thought Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton is a beautiful song.

    I also love the song Something, which George Harrison wrote for the Beatles, and I think it is a wonderful love song.

    What is amazing is that both of those songs were written for the same woman, Pattie Boyd, who Clapton met (and later married) when she was married to Harrison.

    "Til There Was You," from The Music Man, and later beautifully covered by the Beatles. My parents' wedding song.
