The Top 10 Love Songs for Lesbians

What are the top lesbian love songs of all time? This is probably up for debate, but here are my top picks for lesbian love songs that have had meaning to me at some point in my life. Since I could only pick ten songs, I didn't include an artist more than once, though, with some of them, it was hard to decide which song to pick.

If you're not familiar with Joan Armatrading's music, this would be a good place to start.

Melissa Etheridge: Come to My Window

Yes I Am was Melissa Etheridge's coming out album and "Come to My Window" was her breakthrough hit. It was also hard to decide which of Melissa's songs to pick. I settled for this 1993 hit. It remains one of the best lesbian love songs of all time.

Sade: By Your Side

Right after my friend passed away from breast cancer, I heard "By Your Side" by Sade on the radio. This song made me realize that love lasts forever, even if you think someone you loved and lost is gone, in your heart, they will always be by your side.

Melissa Ferrick's "Drive" is more of a sex song than a love song, but I had to include this out-lesbian's ode to oral sex in the best lesbian love songs list.
