Re: Post your first dance song & lyrics

We are thinking about this as our first song...

ERIC BENET LYRICS

"Spend My Life with You"

I never knew such a day could come
And I never knew such a love
Could be inside of one

And I never knew what my life was for
But now that you're here I know for sure

I never knew till I looked in your eyes
I was incomplete till the day you walked into my life
And I never knew that my heart could feel
So precious and pure
One love so real

Can I just see you every morning when
I open my eyes
Can I just feel your heart beating beside me
Every night
Can we just feel this way together
Till the end of all time
Can I just spend my life with you

Now baby the days and the weeks
And the years will roll by
But nothing will change the love inside
Of you and I

And baby I'll never find any words
That could explain
Just how much my heart my life
My soul you've changed

Can you run to these open arms
When no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world
I'm your woman, and you're my man
Can't you just feel how much I love you
With one touch of my hand
Can I just spend my life with you

No touch has ever felt so wonderful
(You are incredible)
And a deeper love I've never known
(I'll never let you go)
I swear this love is true
(Now and forever to you to you)
Can I just see you every morning when

I open my eyes
Can I just feel your heart beating beside me
Every night
Can we just feel this way together
Till the end of all time
Can I just spend my life with you
Can you run to these open arms

When no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world
You're my woman, and you're my man
Can't you just feel how much I love you
With one touch of my hand
Can I just spend my life with you

Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just spend my life with you
(Forever here with you)
Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just see you every morning when I
Open my eyes

Re: Post your first dance song & lyrics

FH are I are having trouble with this one. I want sentimental lyrics and he wants something we can choreograph a fancy dance to -- btw neither of us can even dance, but that's what lessons are for, right?

Our leading contender right now is "Come What May" from Moulin Rouge.

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love more and more
Listen to my heart
Can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change
Winter to spring
But I love you until
The end of time

CHORUS:
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems
Such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with
Such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life
Doesn't seem such a waste
My world revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song
I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until
The end of time

Repeat chorus

Oh, come what may
Come what may
I will love you
I will love you
Suddenly the world seems
Such a perfect place

First Day of my Life by Bright Eyes:

"First Day Of My Life"

This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you had just woke up
And you said “this is the first day of my life
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you
But now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
And I’d probably be happy”

So if you want to be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Then waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me

We're using "Into the Mystic" by Van Morisson and redone by The Wallflowers. It was the song they danced to in American Wedding ("our movie":)


FH wanted this too, but I over-ruled him with "Someone Like You" also by Van Morrison.

I've been searching a long time
For someone exactly like you
I've been travelling all around the world
Waiting for you to come through.
Someone like you makes it
All worth while
Someone like you keeps
Me satisfied. Someone exactly
Like you.

I've been travellin' a hard road
Lookin' for someone exactly like you
I've been carryin' my heavy load
Waiting for the light to come
Shining through.
Someone like you makes it
All worth while
Someone like you keeps
Me satisfied. Someone exactly
Like you.

I've been doin' some soul searching
To find out where you're at
I've been up and down the highway
In all kinds of foreign lands
Someone like you... etc.

I've been all around the world
Marching to the beat of a different
Drum.
But just lately I have
Realised
The best is yet to come.
Someone like you... etc.

Re: Post your first dance song & lyrics

Ours was By Your Side by Sade

You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave down when your down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that

I'll do you right when your wrong
I-----ohhh, ohhh

If only you could see into me

oh, when your cold
I'll be there to hold you tight to me
When your on the outside baby and you can't get in
I will show you, your so much better than you know
When your lost, when your alone and you can't get back again
I will find you darling I'll bring you home

If you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes
and in no time you'll be fine

You think I'd leave your side baby
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave you down when your down on your kness
I wouldn't do that

I'll do you right when your wrong
I-----I, ohhhh, ohhh

If only you could see into me

Oh when your cold
I'll be there
To hold you tight to me
Oh when your alone
I'l be there by your side baby

ETS: I'm not certain what the 1st line in the second paragraph really is. Other sites have it as "I'll tell you you're right when you want". I think that makes more sense than "I'll do you right when you're wrong" but who knows

Re: Post your first dance song & lyrics

Loving Wings - Dave Matthews Band

My heart was made of broken bones
My soul a bag of stick and stones
Then you along this dusty road
Have come, my love, to take me home

And I give to you my everything
Because you've given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered 'round
To hear me sing my love out loud

Ohh, ohh, ohh.
Ohh, ohh, ohh.

You lightly lifted me away
Out of a darkness cold and gray
I work beneath the midday sun
My cold blue water, you have come

And I give to you my everything
Because you've given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered 'round
To hear me sing my love out loud

Ohh, ohh, ohh.
Ohh, ohh, ohh.

So take your place here next to me
And I'll take my place there next to thee
No matter how far we may roam
It's by your side I make my home

And I give to you my everything
Because you've given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered 'round
To hear me sing my love out loud

Ohh, ohh, ohh.
Ohh, ohh, ohh.

Re: Post your first dance song & lyrics

This is ours - Feels Like Home by Chantal Kreviazuk


Something in your eyes
Makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself
In your arms
There's something in your voice
Makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts
The rest of my life
If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've felt so low
If you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

Chorus: Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where
I come from
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks down a long dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see through the dark there's light

If you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
If you knew how happy you are making me
I've never thought I'd love anyone so much

Chorus

Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

Re: Post your first dance song & lyrics

We're using Here There and Everywhere. It's a Beatles tune, but we're using a version sung by Paul McCartney only.

Lyrics:

To lead a better life I need my love to be here...

Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there

There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn't know he's there

I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need 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 want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share

Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

To be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere

I love this song. We are using an italian song called "Vivo Per Lei" it's a duet by Andrea Bocelli and Giorgia.

Re: Post your first dance song & lyrics

Ours is Danny's Song by Loggins and Messina. Different, stupid name but we love the song


People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one, and we've just begun,
Think I'm gonna have a son.
He will be like she and me, as free as a dove, conceived in love,
Sun is gonna shine above.

Chorus:
And even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with ya honey,
And everything will bring a chain of love.
And in the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes,
And tell me everything is gonna be alright.

Seems as though a month ago I beta chi, never got high,
Oh, I was a sorry guy.
And now a smile, a face, a girl that shares my name,
Now I'm through with the game, this boy will never be the same.

(To chorus:)
Pisces, Virgo rising is a very good sign, strong and kind,
And the little boy is mine.
Now I see a family where there once was none, now we've just begun,
Yeah, we're gonna fly to the sun.

(To chorus:)

Love the girl who holds the world in a paper cup, drink it up,
Love her and she'll bring you luck.
And if you find she helps your mind, buddy, take her home,
Don't you live alone, try to earn what lovers own.

We havent decided yet, but are now thinking of using "So Blessed" By Mariah Carey



Lying beside you
This joy is so deep
I reach out and touch you
Tenderly
Looking inside you
My world is complete
I struggled to find you
Now I'm free

Precious love
Burning so deeply
Shining completely
For you

[Chorus:]
So blessed
Amazingly
Touching you now
Awakens me
You are my heart
My everything
Feeling you now
Is all I need

Adrift in the moment
So sacred and pure
Alive for you only
I am yours
As you touch me so sweetly
And you whisper my name
I feel how you love me
We are the same

Precious one
Don't ever leave me
Forever need me
This way

[Chorus]

Stay with me
Beyond the end
I treasure you
'Cause you made me whole again

[Chorus]

This Very Moment
by K-C & Jojo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can't believe it's true
I'm standing here in front of you
And you are here with me
So unbelievable
I'll never ever let you go
My heart is yours for keeps
Lets make a vow (make a vow baby)
Right here and now (here and now)

This is the day that I've prayed for
And you are the girl of my dreams
And my place in life is right here by your side on this day
This very moment (this very moment)

Today is you and I
We celebrate a brand new life
That God has given us
Until the end of time
I hold your precious hand in mine
Promise you can trust..
these simple words
forever of my love for you

This is the day that I've prayed for
And you are the girl of my dreams
And my place in life is right here by your side on this day

My heart is is all a dream
This day was meant to be
I need you desperatly
Through all eternity
So perfect and so right
I want to share my life
I'm here by your side
From now on

This is the day that I've prayed for
And you are the girl of my dreams
And my place in life is right here by your side on this day
This very moment
This very moment
This very moment

I can't belive it's true
I'm standing here in front of you
And you are here with me
This very moment

Re: Post your first dance song & lyrics

i'm pretty sure we will use this one...

Artist: Shania Twain
Song: You've Got A Way

You've got a way with me
Somehow you got me to believe
In everything that I could be
I've gotta say... you really got a way

You've got a way it seems
You gave me faith to find my dreams
You'll never know just what that means
Can't you see... you got a way with me

It's in the way you want me
It's in the way you hold me
The way you show me just what love's made of
It's in the way we make love

You've got a way with words
You get me smiling even when it hurts
There's no way to measure what your love is worth
I can't believe the way you get through to me

It's in the way you want me
It's in the way you hold me
The way you show me just what love's made of
It's in the way we make love

Oh, how I adore you
Like no one before you
I love you just the way you are

It's in the way you want me
It's in the way you hold me
The way you show me just what love's made of
It's in the way we make love

It's just the way you are

Re: Post your first dance song & lyrics

I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love more and more
Listen to my heart
Can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change
Winter to spring
But I love you until
The end of time

CHORUS:
Come what may

I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems
Such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with
Such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life
Doesn't seem such a waste
My world revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song
I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until
The end of time

Repeat chorus

Oh, come what may
Come what may
I will love you
I will love you
Suddenly the world seems
Such a perfect place

Life is but a Dream-The Harptones

A beautiful song:

email me if you would like a copy sent to you

Will you take part in
My life, my love
That is my dream

Life is but a dream
It's what you make it
Always try to give
Don't ever take it
Life has it's music
Life has it's songs of love

Life is but a dream
And I dream of you
Strange as it seems
All night I see you
I'm trying to tell you
Just what you mean to me

I love you
With all my heart
Adore you
And all your charms
I want you
To do your part
Come here to my open arms

Life is but a dream
And we can live in
We can make our love
None to compare with

Will you take part in
My life, my love
That is my dream
Life is but a dream

Because you love me

JoDee Messina



I don't know how I survived

In this cold and empty world

For all this time

I only know that I'm alive

Because you love me


When I recall what I've been through

There's some things

That I wish I didn't do

Now I do the things I do

Because you love me


And now that you're in my life

I'm so glad I'm alive

'Cause you showed me the way

And I know now how good it can be

Because You love me


And now that you're in my life

Oh, I'm so glad I'm alive

'Cause you showed me the way

And I know now how good it can be

Because you love me


I believe in things unseen

I believe in the message of a dream

And I believe in what you are

Because you love me


With all my heart and all my soul

I'm loving you and I never will let go

And every day I'll let it show

Because you love me

Because you love me

Because you love me

Re: Post your first dance song & lyrics

we still cant decide, but i just heard Valentine by Martina McBride and i love it


If there were no words
no way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
no way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you
and even if the sun refused to shine
even if romance ran out of rhyme
you would still have my heart untill the end of time
you're all I need,my love,my valentine
All of my life
I been waiting for
all you give to me
you've opened my eyes
and showed me how to love unselfishly
I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
but in my dreams I could'nt love you more
I will give you my heart
untill the end of time
you're all I need,my love,my valentine
and even if the sun refused to shine
even if romance ran out of rhyme
you would still have my heart untill the end of time
cause all I need is you my valentine
you're all I need,my love,my valentine

Re: Post your first dance song & lyrics

We are using "Breathe" by Faith Hill

I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way
I watch the sunlight dance across your face and I've
Never been this swept away

All my thoughts seem to settle on the breeze
When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms
The whole world just fades away
The only thing I hear
Is the beating of your heart

'Cause I can feel you breathe
It's washing over me
Suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
The slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe

In a way I know my heart is waking up
As all the walls come tumbling down
I'm closer than I've ever felt before
And I know
And you know
There's no need for words right now

'Cause I can feel you breathe
It's washing over me
Suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
The slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe

Caught up in the touch
The slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe

I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way

Taking you Home- Don Henely..sooo beautiful and very appropriate.
-----------------------
I had a good life
Before you came
I had my friends and my freedom
I had my name
Still there was sorrow and emptiness
’til you made me glad
Oh, in this love I found strength I never knew I had
:
And this love
Is like nothing I have ever known
Take my hand, love
I’m taking you home
Taking you home

There were days, lonely days
When the world, wouldn’t throw me a crumb, no no
But I kept on believing
That this day would come

And this love
Is like nothing I have ever known, no no baby
Take my hand love
I’m taking you home
I’m taking you, home
Where we can be with the ones who really care
Home, where we can grow together
Keep you in, my heart forever




Oh and this love
Is like nothing I have ever known, oh no no baby
Take my hand love
I’m taking you home

3rd chorus:
Oh this love
Is like nothing I have ever known, no no baby
Take my hand.
I’m taking you home
I’m taking you, home
Yes I am, mm, mm, mm, hey baby, hey baby
Taking you home

Short instrumental w/background vocals

I’m taking you home baby
I’m taking you home.

"All My Life"
by Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville


Am I really here in your arms
This is just like I dreamed it would be
I feel like we're frozen in time
And you're the only one I can see

Hey, I've looked all my life for you
Now you're here
Hey, I'll spend all my life with you
All my life

And I never really knew how to love
I just hope somehow I'd see
I asked for some help from above
Send an angel down to me

Hey, I've looked all my life for you
Now you're here
Hey, I've spend all my life with you
All my life

I never thought that I could feel a love so tender
Never thought I could let those feelings show
But now my heart is on my sleeve
And this love will never leave
I know
I know

Hey, I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life all my life

Hey, I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life



ETA: I have always loved this song and after hearing our band play it,,we just knew it was the one!!!

Re: Post your first dance song & lyrics

"The Promise" by Tracy Chapman

If you wait for me
Then I'll come for you
Although I've travelled far
I always hold a place for you
In my heart
If you think of me
If you miss me once in a while
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart
Chorus-
Remembering your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way
Back to you
If you'll be waiting
2nd verse-
If you dream of me
Like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel
The beating of your heart
(chorus)
I've longed for you
And I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are
(chorus)
3rd verse-
Please say you'll be waiting
Together again
It would feel so good to be in your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you make a promise
If it's one that you can keep
I vow to come to you
If you wait for me
And say you'll hold
A place for me
In your heart
