I'm looking for love songs that evoke strong emotion. For example:

Slow Like Honey - Fiona Apple
The Bus Stop - The Decemberists

Etc.

Something that tells a story, and has an undeiable feeling of longing to it.

Any ideas? You mushy gushy smurfs, you.

I precede my answer by stating that any song can evoke a strong emotion when it's tied to a memory.

Here's to the Night by Eve 6 does it to me..

Go ahead and laugh.

Let It Die Lyrics
Artist(Band):Feist

Let it die and get out of my mind
We don't see eye to eye
Or hear ear to ear

Don't you wish that we could forget that kiss
And see this for what it is
That we're not in love

The saddest part of a broken heart
Isn't the ending so much as the start

It was hard to tell just how I felt
To not recognize myself
I started to fade away

And after all it won't take long to fall in love
Now I know what I don't want
I learned that with you

The saddest part of a broken heart
Isn't the ending so much as the start
The tragedy starts from the very first spark
Losing your mind for the sake of your heart
The saddest part of a broken heart
Isn't the ending so much as the start

I also love Feist's Inside + Out
http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Inside-and-out-lyrics-Feist/43D4A...
I just hate that Feist redoes her songs with different musical styles cuz it changes the whole feel of the song.

Awesome guys, keep 'em coming.

So here's what I'm doing... I'm taking love songs and using them as the basis for a love story between two dreamers. So I want it to invoke the idea of love working out, not heartbreak if you catch my drift.

I've got some seriously sappy listening to do right now.

Gimme moar.

Also - Can't take my eyes off of you (There are several versions of this song)
Seriously, no Sade songs mentioned yet?

No Ordinary Love and Kiss of Life

Not a very popular artist but Res 700 mile situation is a good song

Lyrics
Now for all the times you must go
Notice all the things you leave
So what's behind that stare
Am I there with you

And as you turn to walk away
I can't help it
I can't help but feel those instincts
That want to dance with me

[Chorus:]
Silhouette is painted on the wall
How many times can I say that I miss you
And everybody wants to know what's wrong
It's just the 700 mile situation

Why don't you tell me what you're scared of
You make me breathe so easy
And I'm a mess with reminders of you
I often wonder where you are sometimes
I close my eyes and picture it for a while
I rise, awake to find myself without you

[Chorus]

No one can tell me I don't know
About the ins and outs of how it goes
Impulse traveler
Why can't you stay with me tonight
What's your soul taste like baby

And all them tell me I should take it slow
Don't want to find myself too deep in so
I keep stumbling
Pulling back while my dreams propelling
Don't hold back
My constitution's crumbling
