I'd like to add "Happy" to the list. A lot of people recorded the song, most famously Michael Jackson, I suppose.
But I like the Johnny Mathis version. So beautiful. I cry almost every time I hear it.
"Sadness had been close as my next of kin.
Then Happy came one day...chased my blues away.
My life began when Happy smiled...sweet, like candy to a child.
Stay here and love me, just a while.
Let Sadness see what Happy does.
Let Happy be where Sadness was.
Happy, that's you. You made my life brand new.
Lost as a little lamb was I...'till you came in.
My life began when Happy smiled. Sweet, like candy to a child.
Stay here and love me, just a while.
Let Sadness see what Happy does,
Let Happy be where Sadness was...
...'till now.
Where have I been?
What lifetime was I in?
Suspended between time and space...lonely, until...
Happy came smiling up at me.
Sadness had no choice but to flee.
I said a prayer, so silently...
Let sadness see what Happy does, let Happy be where Sadness was...
...'till now."

This isn't as romantic as it is just sexy. Dierks Bentley "Come a little closer"
Mmmm Hmmm. There is something about that song.
She Hates Me - Puddle of Mudd
Good choice.
