"The Rose" by Bette Midler

Edit: if someone can attach this song, I'd appreciate it. I still don't know how to do it.
Thanks.

Your own screen name could be another candidate. "They're sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone."

There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere
There's a time for us
Some day a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to look, time to care
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere
There's a place for us, a time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow, someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere
There's a time for us, a time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow, someday, somewhere, somewhere
Somewhere

One of my absolute favourites. Lenny was such a legend. Sadly missed.

Bette Midler - The Rose
This is, by far, the most intense song written about love.

And sung beautifully by Bette Midler.

A scandalously overlooked songwriter.

While I'm at it, currently, for personal reasons: For the longest time. God, I love that woman.

Anthem
by Tim Rice, Björn Ulvaeus
From the Musical "Chess."

No man, no madness
Though their sad power may prevail
Can possess, conquer, my country's heart
They rise to fail

She is eternal
Long before nations' lines were drawn
When no flags flew, when no armies stood
My land was born

And you ask me why I love her
Through wars, death and despair
She is the constant
We who don't care

And you wonder will I leave her -- but how?
I cross over borders but I'm still there now
How can I leave her?
Where would I start?

Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart
My land's only borders lie around my heart
