LAST CALL: Contribute to Patch's Valentine's Day Mix Tape

Tell us your favorite love song and we'll add it to a Spotify playlist.

Editor's Note: This is your last chance to send us a song for our Spotify Patch Valentine's Day Mix Tape. See the details below. Deadline is Monday 5 p.m. Love is in the air, the birds are singing, and Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Your special evening wouldn't be complete without a little romantic music, and we want to be your maestro. But we need your help. Tell us your favorite love songs in the comments, and we'll add it to a Spotify playlist that we'll share with you on Valentine's Day. So send us your Barry White, your Marvin Gaye, Frank Sinatra and, heck, even the Backstreet Boys. We'll add it to the list, but remember, this is a family website, so keep it PG. Prime time Patch has yet to be created. We can't wait to see…
