Wedding First Dance Songs

What is everyones first dance/wedding song.
I have a few in mind but I keep nitpicking at the lyrics. So I am driving myself crazy.

Re: Wedding First Dance Songs

My FH and I are still considering this, but are thinking about Bryan Adams, "Everything I do, I do for you". I'm trying to find a song with the "right" words.

More by Bobby Darrin

More than the greatest love the world has known,

This is the love I give to you alone,

More than the simple words I try to say,

I only live to love you more each day.

More than you'll ever know, my arms long to hold you so,

My life will be in your keeping, waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping,

Longer than always is a long long time,

but far beyond forever you're gonna be mine.

I know I've never lived before and my heart is very sure,

No one else could love you more.

[musical interlude]

More than you'll ever know , my arms they long to hold you so,
My life will be in your keeping, waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping,
Longer than always is a long long time, but far beyond forever you'll be mine,
I know that I've never lived before and my heart is very sure,
No one else could love you more, no one else could love you more.

Re: Wedding First Dance Songs

the bobby darin one is good. My brother used everything I do so can't repeat and I already had 12 cousins get married before me so it is not easy.

"Annie's Song" by John Denver

You fill up my senses like a night in the forest,
like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain,
like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.

Come let me love you, let me give my life to you,
let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms,
let me lay down beside you, let me always be with you.
Come let me love you, come love me again.

You fill up my senses like a night in the forest,
like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain,
like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.

Re: Wedding First Dance Songs

Spend My Life With You by Eric Benet Featuring Tamia It is perfect because the lyrics speak from both sides a woman and a man's perspective

Re: Wedding First Dance Songs

that is a great song!

Re: Wedding First Dance Songs

For the First Time- Rod Stewart

Re: Wedding First Dance Songs

Im Your Angel by R. Kelly and Celine Dion, perfect for us because FH has called me his angel since we started dating!

Re: Wedding First Dance Songs

By Your Side-Sade

that song gets me every time I hear it now. I'll be balling like a baby that day!!

Re: Wedding First Dance Songs

First song will be "You're still the one" By Shania Twain

Re: Wedding First Dance Songs

from this moment...shania twain

Re: Wedding First Dance Songs

I am going to use Forever and for always from shania twain for the wedding video and if FH agrees eric benet and tamia for the wedding song I love that song and it always brings a tear to my eye. It is just perfect because I love Tamia's music and eric benet. So I will get him to listen to it somtime this week if not I will put that on my wedding video to and I think I need 3 songs for the wedding video so maybe when you kissed me from shania twain to. At least I have time for that decision. Thanks for all your help all those songs are so good.

Re: Wedding First Dance Songs

We tried to find the "perfect" song and we have...

Just the Way You Are - Billy Joel

Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore

I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

Re: Wedding First Dance Songs

This was one of the hardest decisions for us so far. But we decided on Paul McCartney's Here, There and Everywhere. It's a beautiful song and I've always thought the love story of Paul & Linda McCartney was beautiful, so I like that it's being sung by someone whom I believe knows about love.

To lead a better life, I need a love of my own
Here,
Making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there
I want her everywhere
And if she's beside me I know I need never care
But to love her is to meet her everywhere,
Knowing that love is to share,
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there
I will be here, there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere

True Companion by Mark Cohen

Re: Wedding First Dance Songs

This was ours:

This I Swear-Nick Lachey

You're there by my side
In every way
I know that you would not forsake me
I give you my life
Would not think twice
Your love is all I need believe me

I may not say it quite as much as I should
When I say I love you darling that means for good
So open up your heart and let me in
And I will love you 'til forever
Until death do us part we'll be together
So take my hand and hold on tight
And we'll get there
This I swear

I'm wondering how I ever got by
Without you in my life to guide me
Where ever I go the one thing that's true
Is everything I do I do for you

I may not say it quite as much as I should
When I say I love you darling that means for good
So open up your heart and let me in
And I will love you 'til forever
Until death do us part we'll be together
So take my hand and hold on tight
And we'll get there
This I swear

So when ever you get there
Just reach out for me
I'll never let you down my love

And I will love you 'til forever
Until death do us part we'll be together
So take my hand and hold on tight
And we'll get there
This I swear

And I will love you 'til forever
Until death do us part we'll be together
So take my hand and hold on tight
And we'll get there
This I swear

Re: Wedding First Dance Songs

You Are by Jimmy Wayne



Baby when i look at you
You know it breaks my heart in two
How beautiful you are
I've seen you in a million dreams
Now you're finally here with me
We will never be apart
I wanna hold you forever
That's all i'll ever need

[Chorus:]
You are my love
You are my life
My heart and soul
The truest friend i've ever known
You are my world
All of my dreams
My fantasy, my reality
I love everything you are

Every time i close my eyes
It hits me so deep inside
How real this feeling is
I'm intoxicated by your touch
It's a sweet, sweet rush
I'm in love with your kiss
You're the one i trust the most
You changed me

[Chorus:]
You are my love
You are my life
My heart and soul
The truest friend i've ever known
You are my world
All of my dreams
My fantasy, my reality
I love everything you are

[Chorus:]
You are my love
You are my life
My heart and soul
The truest friend i've ever known
You are my world
All of my dreams
My fantasy, my reality
I love everything you are

Everything, i love everything you are

Re: Wedding First Dance Songs

all these songs are so good I listened to all of them today and now I keep remembering more and more. At least I now have a list to choose from. I Love LIW. And a little less stress now.
