Good Morning Riddlers! :wave: Happy Hump Day! :banana:
Please Pm me when you know the answer to the following songs:
Sometimes replacing simple words with their more complicated definitions can turn the best love songs into humorous sentences. Below are three love songs whose lyrics have been replaced with their synonyms. Can you figure out what songs are represented here:
1. The sole purpose of my using the telephone to talk to you was to express a profoundly tender, passionate affection towards you.
2. No force can result in the transformation of my profoundly tender, passionate affection towards you.
3. A profoundly tender, passionate affection is present in the mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, and minute amounts of other gases that surrounds the Earth and forms its atmosphere.
Have a great day!

This is St Marks square in Venice
Where those people are (with pigeons - centre left) is the rough area that I proposed to Sparky

Just behind the people, near the far buildings, is where we celebrated with a very expensive coffee (7 € or approx $9 a cup) and phone calls back home.
The waiters were wearing 'white tie' and tails, so not suprising it was expensive !

Since we're sharing, this is where I got engaged:
http://hotels.about.com/library/photos/wdw_wl/wilderness-lodge_lg.jpg
My wife was at WDW once before...it was like a day trip or something. She wasn't that crazy about it and thought I was a little odd. I figured if we got engaged there on the first trip I took her there even if she thought it sucked, she'd want to go back.
She still thinks I'm a little odd, but we're going on 8 years of marriage and she's kinda taken a liking to the place.

No not dense! Just not American.... It is the Wren Building at the College of William and Mary which is down the street from the historic part of Williamsburg, VA. We took a walk after dinner and stopped at a park bench along the path....

Where those people are (with pigeons - centre left) is the rough area that I proposed to SparkyYou proposed to her in a rough area? You thought if she were scared enough that she would say yes to leave before the gang of pigeons approached?
That's pretty smart!

how about a trip down the riverBetter than being sent up the river, I suppose. ::yes::
Then again, I avoid all river trips after seeing Deliverance
