What are some songs you would put into the "Beautiful" category? Not to sound corny, but these are the songs that you think have that certain quality where you pretend Halle Berry is in a purple dress running toward you on the beach, or maybe if you're a woman, Fabio running toward you with a tub of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" in his hands. I don't know, whatever wets your whistle, but what are some songs that you would categorize as "Beautiful"?

Smokey Robinson & Rick James: Ebony Eyes

Stevie Wonder: Overjoyed

Journey: Open Arms

Even though its 'just' a demo, i'd like to add "The only lonely one" from Mika:

Who lives without love?
Got lots of things, but it's not enough
Am I the only lonely one?

I turn on my TV
See lots of hearts, but there's none for me
Am I the only lonely one?

Am I the only one?
Am I the only one?
Am I the only, only lonely man?

I go to NYC
See the pretty Statue of Liberty
I said 'Hey, girl, what a lonely, lonely life'

Your heart is made of stone
You symbolize what I want to own
Could you be my lonely, lonely wife?

Chorus x2
The only lonely man.

Who lives without love?
Got lots of things, but it's not enough (Who lives without love?)
Am I the only lonely man? ( Got lots of things, but it's not enough But it's not enough)

I turn on my TV
See lots of hearts but there's none for me ( (I turn on my TV)
Am I the only lonely man? (See lots of hearts but there's none for me)

Eva Cassidy's cover of Fields Of Gold http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGwDYBWEDSc
is sung beautifully. I prefer Sting's version though, because of the instrumentation/arrangement that just can't be 'covered' by a human voice that sings only a melody.

Also Sting's cover of Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard:
