I fell in love with this song the first time I saw Pretty in Pink....and I've seen it many more times since.  What do I like about this song?  Pretty much everything.  The melody is stirring, rising to a crescendo (thank goodness for spell check!) at the end, the lyrics are beautifully heartbreaking, and most anyone over 14 can relate to, and you can dance to it to boot.  Check, check and check.
