TOP 20 GREATEST COUNTRY LOVE SONGS: SEGMENT 1 of 4
75Nothing expresses love like a country song. As we scan the past few decades, I have come up with the top 20 greatest love songs ever made. I did massive research in making this top 20 list and it was very hard coming to this list as there are many songs to look at. Based on popularity, number one rankings, and fame, we now take a look at the first segment of top country songs beginning with the #20 song on the countdown. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating this amazing list. Thanks for your support. To the list beginning with #20.

Hello Sunshine625. I appreciate your time and comments. I am glad to have you along for the ride. This has by far, been the hardest hub I have ever did. I just want to make it right. I have this musical gift and right now, this is all I can do to use it. I wish I could let you hear my songs since you are a country fan. I would like to have a honest opinion. Thanks.
Your songs as in YOUR songs? Do you have videos? I'd love to hear them!
Very nice. I will vote for "I will always love you". However I could not hear the song "Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not".
Sunshine, yes. I know I have the talent, drive, the whole works, but I am honestly financially busted. They are basically accustic, but the lyrics are powerful, way better then my poems. It is my passion. I was saving for a cam corder to start placing them on youtube when I lost my job. Now, online is all I got. I was picked up by a small record label, but they fell through before anything happened. Then a agent that stole my songs. I seem to have bad luck always. I thought about going straight to Nashville, but I no longer have a car. :(
I spend my entire day trying to make money online and where I live. Not easy with no vehicle. I am going to see if I can find one and go for it. I have to copyright my new songs though. Just so much to do and worry about.
Thanks H.P. I am so sorry about that. I really wish you could hear it cause it is a great song. I know you don't live in the US from your profile page. I will see if I can add a new link so you may be able to hear it and thanks for telling me. It is not acceptable if those outside can't hear it. I will get on that as soon as possible. Thank you very much for tuning in.
You DO have a lot going on. If you believe in yourself then do whatever you have to! XFactor, Idol, America's Got Talent are always options :)
True, I live a 5 minute walk away from Landuea Murphy, the one who won America's Got Talent.
Country fan here too. My vote is for Kenny Rogers, I love that song. It was hard to choose between Him and Dolly Parton though. I too couldn't listen to Thompson Square (Not available in your country) was the message I got.
But a great hub and I thoroughly enjpyed this one.
Looking forward to the next segment
Thanks for coming by. I changed it with another one and I guess it is still not working. Will do again and thanks for coming by.
Great country love songs and looking forward to seeing the next 15.
Felicitylovespari, thank you so much for checking it out and your time. I do appreciate it very much and I am on my way to see you. Thanks.
To be honest I can not stand country music, but I think you did a wonderful job with this. I can tell you worked really hard on this hub. It came out really good. I will be looking for the others as they come!
Cutters, thanks for coming by and checking it out. I like country more then anything else, but I like all music types. Thanks for appreciating the work. Some of these articles take quite a while. Have a good Sunday.
My personal favorite is Thubder Rolls by Garth Brooks. This is interresting because I only recently developed an appreciation for country music.
Dumbledore, thanks for the comment and your time. Perfect timing then pal. I have always like country, but I like most of all music.
Country Music Is Always A Solid Bet For A Distinctive Lyrical Style And Classic Melodies...Thanks For Sharing thelyricwriter.;)
Great article! Keep them coming. When you "make it," you will look back to your present "experiences" and appreciate what the process.
Your commitment will see you to the top!
The best.
Flag up!
Mentalist, couldn't say it better myself. I appreciate all your time friend. You have a kind soul.
Hey there Dallas. Glad you came by. I thank you for your confidence, I really do. Thanks for for your time, comment, and vote dear friend. It is always nice to near from you.
A very entertaining hub.
My favourite pick is "I will always love you."
Looking forward to more.
Voted up and awesome.
Thanks for your vote Sueswan. It is greatly appreciated, as well as your comment. It is a great song. It was hard placing all the songs together from the last half of century. I believe that one was 1973. Thanks for commenting.
....great series you have here and I will look forward to the other 3 parts as I am a big country and western music fan (more the older stuff though) and I have a wonderful hub buddy ALWAYS EXPLORING who would love this hub tribute (her name is Ruby and her boyfriend is George Jones lol) you should check out her hubs 'cos she's alot fun (like you) and let her know you have this hub series on country music
......I see you are a big NFL fan, yes? In Canada we have the CFL, but believe me I think the fan support here is bigger for the NFL.
I am a Patriots fan and I remember the very first game Tom Brady ever played for them - he came in to take over from an injured Drew Bledsoe.

Epigramman, thank you so much. Your always very considerate. I will make sure I do that. I love football. I remember that game as well. He did quite well to be thrown in the pick. The best 6th round quarterback in history. I do appreciate everything. You are a very thoughtful person. Be good my friend.
Wonderful! I grew up on country music and still channel surf it. I had a hard time picking my favorite. Anymore and Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not both pertain to my husband and I. Thanks for making me smile!
LaBrashear, thanks for commenting and coming by. It makes it all worth while for you to smile!lol I love anymore. That would be my favorite with kiss me or not in a close second. Thanks!
Great hub. I absolutely, positively love country music.
hello Gypsy. Thanks you so much for coming by dear friend. Country music is built with passion. Great stuff. Thanks.
Wow! A great collection of country side music superstars. I love country side music especially Dolly. My father had a major collection of country side music by kenny rogers, don williams, skeeter davis, dolly parton to mention but few. Listening to those sweets songs on a cool evening made my heart bubble with joy. I LOVE COUNTRY SIDE MUSIC. You ve done absolutely great my lyricwriter. You re awesome! Voted accordingly.

Lyricwriter you caught my attention with the title and the videos! I thought I was going to find all 20 songs but I'll be back for the others, if I miss 'em give me a nudge.
Ok my favorite from this set is #19 Thompson Square! I saw them perform at a free outdoor concert, well I also saw Kenny Rogers MANY years ago but Thompson Square was just a couple of months ago. The husband and wife duo have a superb stage presence and the crowd loved them! Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not has my vote! Looking forward to round #2! In case you haven't picked up on it I'm a country music fanatic! :)
