"Our Song"

[Erin]

If you were to be married this weekend or if you were to renew your vows this weekend and have the ''''first dance'''' all over again and you couldn''''t use your original song - what song would be "Our Song" and why?

 

[sjz]

It''s a toss up between "Can''t Smile Without You" by Barry Mannilow and "Truly Madly Deeply" by Savage Garden.

I like "Under the Milky Way Tonight" by The Church

or "We''re all Alone" by Boz Scaggs....

When we got married, our song was Garth Brooke''s "Shameless"........it goes: I''m shameless, when it comes to loving you, I''ll do anything you want me to blah blah blah. It was cute. My husband used to serenade it to me.


Recently ( I believe last year) a little-known R&B artist call Mario came out with Let me Love You. when we heard the lyrics, we both agreed that THAT WAS OUR NEW SONG. It fit us to the T because it''s about trying to woo a girl away from her cheating ex.....and telling her that she deserved better things. that girl was me, and my husband tried for months to make me see the light. Anyhoo, here are the lyrics, and the line about the diamonds was just so me!

Mmmm ..... Mmmmm.... Yeah....Mmmmm....Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Mmmm...Yeah....Mmmm..... Yeah, Yeah

[Verse 1:]

Baby I just don''t get it
Do you enjoy being hurt?
I know you smelled the perfume, the make-up on his shirt
You don''t believe his stories
You know that they''re all lies
Bad as you are,you stick around and I just don''t know why
If I was ya man (baby you)
Never worry bout (what I do)
I''d be coming home (back to you)
Every night, doin'' you right
You''re the type of woman (deserves good thangs)
Fistful of diamonds (hand full of rings)
Baby you''re a star (I just want to show you,you are)

[Chorus:]

You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love''s supposed to be
Baby you should let me love you, love you, love you

[Verse 2:]

Listen
Your true beauty''s description looks so good that it hurts
You''re a dime plus ninety-nine and it''s a shame
Don''t even know what you''re worth
Everywhere you go they stop and stare
Cause you''re bad and it shows
From your head to your toes, Out of control, baby you know
If I was ya man (baby you)
Never worry bout (what I do)
I''d be coming home (back to you)
Every night doin'' you right
You''re the type of woman (deserves good thangs)
Fistful of diamonds (hand full of rings)
Baby you''re a star (I just want to show you, you are)

[Chorus:]

You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Ooh Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love''s supposed to be
Baby you should let me....

[Bridge:]

You deserve better girl (you know you deserve better)
We should be together girl (baby)
With me and you it''s whatever girl, hey!
So can we make this thing ours?

[Chorus:]

You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love''s supposed to be
Baby you should let me love you, love you, love you

[repeat til it ends (about 3 times)]

[Mario (talking):]
Let me love you that''s all you need baby

Hmmm our original song was "Here and Now" by Luther Vandross (I LOVE this song), the only other song I think would capture what we wanted our song to be is "Love you for Life" by Jodeci. I also like "From this Moment" by Shania Twain and Bryan Adams. I think it was Bryan Adams?!!?!

Didn''t he also song "Everything I Do, I do it for you"?? That is a good one too!

 

[Dancing Fire]

"always and forever" by Heat Wave. 1978 i think

 

[Erin]

"How deep is your love" - yeah, the BeeGees

We danced to this for the first time early in our relationship (can''t remember why - wedding, party) anyway, we both knew every word and impressed the other with this fact

"Into My Arms" by Nick Cave

Any of the love songs of Sade
