If you don't like jazz (and if you don't, what the hell is your problem?) or think of dire straits only as the guys who did "money for nothing" and want something very hip and yet romantic, then what you want is Leonard Cohen.
"dance me to your beauty
with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic
till I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch
and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love"
May he can't sing, but with a voice that deep (approaching Barry White territory) and the best lyrics this side of Bob Dylan (also worth a mention, but far better for break up music) Leonard Cohen is your man.
"If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
If you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
take my hand, or
If you want to strike me
down in anger
here I stand
I'm your man"

Aaahhh, the Church of Leonard.
"I know this love is real
It don't matter how it all went wrong
That don't change the way I feel
And I can't believe that time's
Gonna heal this wound I'm speaking of
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure for love."
Never a truer statement made...
