How sappy are we talking? Because "My Heart Will Go On" immediately springs to mind.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Or anything of the Rita Coolidge/Melissa Manchester ilk.
OMG, Barb -- the theme from Ice Castles!
sappy that I actually like, and yeah that is just really subjective. So far I have:
Norah Jones - Come away with me
Old 97s - Question
Wings - My Love
Paula Cole - Feelin Love
Peggy Lee - Til there was you
I just heard the original of "Without You" ("I can't live, if living is without you" -- Mariah covered it). Good times.
Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle," "I Have to Say I Love You in a Song," "Photographs and Memories," "Operator."
Well, let's see...
"Love is a Losing Game"- Amy Winehouse
"How Love Should Be"- Chris Botti featuring Paula Cole
"She's Got You"- Patsy Cline
"Soulmate"- Natasha Bedingfield
"Gravity"- Sara Bareilles
"Lucky"- Jason Mraz w/Colbie Callait
"Unbreakable" - Raul Malo
I mean, I write romance-- I have a full library of sap, of all varieties.
good stuff everyone - thanks.
What if Khan was one of us? [link]
That had me laughing more than I care to admit.
Except here, I guess.
What about Barry White? You're My First, My Last, My Everything. Is that too funky to be sappy? I would also throw out the Keiths of my youth: Sweat and Washington.
