Hmm...

Pigs on the Wing is somehow related to the love between Roger and Caroline Waters...

Stay and Summer '68 also pertain to "romance"--but of the one-night-stand variety.

Personally, I think the first is the most likely, but I'm not sure.

i asked about both of those....and was told neither of those were the song they were looking for. There must be some other song I am not thinking of....but what? Never thought any question about Pink Floyd could ever stump me so much. Any other ideas?

The only other one that I could think of would be One Slip.[I] Pink Floyd didn't really sing much about love and romance.

There are probably only 2 or 3 songs in their entire library that even use the word love.

I don't think I've ever associated love and romance with ANY Pink Floyd song, except for relationships gone bad. Does it have to be about something good?

This is a stretch but it seems to be good and about love more or less. The lyrics to Biding my Time (http://www.pinkfloydonline.com/lyrics/relics.html):

Wasting my time, resting my mind
and I'll never pine for the sad days and the bad days
when we was working from nine to five

And if you don't mind
I'll spend my time here by the fireside
in the warm light of the love in her eyes

I got it, how about Candy And A Currant Bun? Though more about lust than love it seems but it's worth a shot.

Oh my, girl sitting in the sun
Go buy, candy and a currant bun
I like, to see you run
Like that...

Oooh, don't talk to me
Please just f*** with me
Please you know I'm feeling frail

It's true, sun shining very bright
It's you, who I'm gonna love tonight
Ice cream, taste good in the afternoon
Ice cream, taste good if you eat it soon

Oooh, don't touch me child
Please you know you drive me wild
Please you know I'm feeling frail

Don't try another cat
Don't go where other you must know why
Very very very frail

Oh my, girl sitting in the sun
Go buy, candy and a currant bun
I like, to see you run
Like that...
