Wedding Song??

[larussel03]

Hi!

Anyone already have their wedding song picked out but arent even engaged like me? Or are you engaged and have it picked? Or are you marreid and want to tell us what your song was??? Let's share!!!

I want "Just to Hear you Say that you love me" by Faith Hill
here are the lyrics:

If I could win your heart
If you'd let me in your heart
I'd be so happy, baby
Just for these arms to be
Holding you close to me
There's nothing in this world I won't try
No limit to what I'd do to make you mine, 'cause

I'd climb right up to the sky
I'd take down the stars
Just to be in your arms, baby
I'd go and capture the moon
That's what I would do
Just to hear you say that you love me
Just to hear you say that you love me

If I could taste your kiss
There'd be no sweeter gift
Heaven could offer baby
Oh, baby
I want to be the one
I want to be the one
Living to give you love
I'd walk across this world just to be
Close to you 'cause I want you close to me, yeah

I'd climb right up to the sky
I'd take down the stars
Just to be in your arms, baby
I'd go and capture the moon
That's what I would do
Just to hear you say that you love me
Just to hear you say that you love me

For the rest of your life
For the rest of your life
Love me for the rest of all time
Oh baby, baby
Just say the word
And I'll give you my world
There's nothing I won't do
Baby, just to be with you

I'd climb right up to the sky
I'd take down the stars
Just to be in your arms, baby
I'd go and capture the moon
That's what I would do
Just to hear you say that you love me
Just to hear you say that you love me, baby
Just to hear you say that you love me
Oh, I need to hear you say that you love me, baby
Just to hear you say that you love me
Just say you love me
Just say you need me

Just to hear you say that you love me

That is a great one! Well, not engaged, but we talk about the wedding and of course I have idea for our "first song." Here they are: "Just You and Me"- Chicago "Don''t Want to Miss a Thing"- Aerosmith "Heaven"- Bryan Adams

 

[Caribou]

I''m not engaged yet either but I think about things types of things too.

I always like Shania Twain''s one song...I can''t think of it right now. But it''s country and I''m not huge fan of that music.

I was watching Princess Diaries 2, and Nora Jones sings Elvis'' Love Me Tender....when I was listening to it I was like ''THAT"S IT!'' I swear she sings it better than Elvis did.

 

[jcrow]

i''m not engaged yet either, but i want something classic. i just don''t know yet which.

 

[Croí]

I love reading everyone''s songs. There are such classics that everyone loves (like At Last, which we used too) and then such individual songs too, totally just for that couple. I love it !!

our songs and all the lyrics on on here (in my terminally long litany!!) but this saves me from re-writing. you have to scroll down through some other posts and pics to get to the songs though ...

https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/he-asked-me-he-asked-me.23895/page-10


first dance song - Valentine by Willie Nelson
still dancing, next songs .... - Be Mine (David Gray), At Last (Eva Cassidys version) Wedding Song (Tracy Chapman)
and finally ''our'' song .... ''Love Serenade'' by The Waifs.

 

[nytemist]

I''m not engaged yet (

), but I though of a song a few months ago in another thread sort of like this. It''s ''Come rain or come shine'' by Billie Holiday. We both love her, though a lot of her music is really depressing.

 

[ame]

We danced to a song that we like but has nothing to really do with us. Somebody by Depeche Mode. And I will say it is NOT a danceable song.

 

[nytemist]

ame- that''s awesome! I looooooooooooooove Depeche Mode.

 

[icekid]

I don''t know what we will do yet- if we have a song, it''s a silly Shania Twain song that was popular when we started dating. Neither of us like country so it''s more of a joke sort of thing than anything.

I really really want to get my FI to take dance lessons with me, so once we do that it might narrow down the choices for a first dance song.

 

[Shay37]

Our wedding song was I Love the Way You Love Me by John Michael Montgomery. We still stop everything and dance to it if it comes on the radio at home. (we''ve even managed it with two little boys hanging off of us) As we''ve been married over 7 years now, I don''t think that''s too bad.

[Faerievert]

I am engaged now, but I had this picked out years ago... it only became more appropriate when we actually went to an Alison Krauss concert together...
"When you say nothing at all"

lyrics:
t’s amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don’t say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old mr. webster could never define
What’s being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

My hubby and I used the same song! But, we had a hard time deciding between this song, I Cross My Heart by George Strait, and Crazy Love by Van Morisson. When You Say Nothing At All won out because it fit us best and because my hubby''s brother got married one month before us and his "oh so wonderful wife" (said with EXTREME sarcasm) decided that Crazy Love should be HER song, not mine. Yes, I''m still a little bitter about that (she was originally going to use The Way You Look Tonight by Sinatra), but it all worked out in the end

 

[Ms.Kat]

We danced to our song, Ben Harper's "By My Side". We also have "By my side" engraved into our wedding bands.

BY MY SIDE
by Ben Harper

Don't you get ahead of me
and I won't leave you behind
if you get unhappy
show me a sign

there's no love like a lost love
no pain like a broken heart
there's no love like you and me
and no loss like us apart

promises promise is
only a word
and when softly spoken
is never heard

and a heart
is not a stone
and is fragile
when alone

by my side
by my side
won't you be by my side
by my side
by my side
won't you be by my side

my care for you
is from the ground up to the sky
it's over under up above
down below and to the side

no use in pretending
no use in saving face
my love for you is never ending
you are my saving grace

by my side
by my side
won't you be by my side
by my side
by my side
won't you be by my side

The Wedding Song (There is Love)

by: Paul of Peter Paul & Mary (and written for Peter''s wedding)
All proceeds from the song go to charity



He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts
Rest assured this troubador is acting on his part.
The union of your spirits, here, has caused him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in his name
There is love. there is love.
A man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home
And they shall travel on to where the two shall be as one.
As it was in the beginning is now and til the end
Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again.
And there is love. there is love.
Well then what''s to be the reason for becoming man and wife?
Is it love that brings you here or love that brings you life?
And if loving is the answer, then who''s the giving for?
Do you believe in something that you''ve never seen before?
Oh there''s love, there is love.
Oh the marriage of your spirits here has caused him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in his name
There is love. there is love.

The song tells a story that has great meaning. If you have not heard it - I suggest you do so.

Perry

 

[heart prongs]

Our first song was "Up on the Roof" by the Drifters...we live in the top floor condo of an old Victorian home...that''s where my husband proposed to me!

Our last song was Sting''s "Fields of Gold" Eva Cassidy did a gorgeous rendition of this song as well.

Have you heard the song "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds or Ben Harper...I can bever remember which one...what a beautiful wedding song!

I''m not engaged, but I hope to use Better Together by Jack Johnson or A Wink and a Smile by Harry Connick Jr. I think both are a little bit unique, easy to dance to, and still sentimental.

A Wink and a Smile was our wedding song 10 years ago!!!

DH loves HCJ and we were looking for something unique. We had a live band at our wedding, who learned the song for our special dance....

We''re not engaged yet, either, but my BF and I were going back and forth between your song, and Allison Krauss'' "Baby, Now that I''ve found you" because we dated and then lost each other for a couple of years, then got back together. I was thinking of the Shania Twain song, "From this Moment" for the walk down the aisle. Anyone think that''s lame? BTW, OUR song was The Cure''s "Love Song". I don''t know about dancing to that one.

 

[snogirl17]

wave044 i love that song by Jack Johnson.... and i love banana pancakes by him too... although the song is quite quarky... it fits us well!

 

[jbrookie82]

We have talked about using "Better Together" by Jack Johnson or "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton.

 

[Erin]

my bf likes that song from Urban Cowboy
could I have this dance for the rest of my life

 

[alyson423]

We danced to "I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever) by Stevie Wonder. Great song, but loooooooooong when people are watching you dance.

 

[MINE!!]

I like... "Keeper of the Stars"

But my favorite song (which we are probably going to use) is 'Memories' from Cats or even "The Rose"
Memories from Cats
Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and a streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn’t give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me, it’s so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me, you’ll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun"

Not engaged but I love, "If you''re not the One" by Daniel Bedingfield.

(All the highlighed lines make me smile! So sweet, yet I think he''s singing about someone who''s away from him or can''t be with him but still...sweet song!)

Lyrics:
If you''re not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you''re not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all
I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We''ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
I don''t want to run away but I can''t take it, I don''t understand
If I''m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
If I don''t need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don''t need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you''re not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you''re not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?
I don''t know why you''re so far away
But I know that this much is true
We''ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you''re the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
I don''t want to run away but I can''t take it, I don''t understand
If I''m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
Cause I love you, whether it''s wrong or right
And though I can''t be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side
I don''t want to run away but I can''t take it, I don''t understand
If I''m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

 

[IndiBlue]

Definitely has to be "Lover''s Rock" by Sade- Um....

Few months ago our best couple friends got married and used that song as their first song (totally stealing it from us

) and we danced by our table like it was us out there. Oh, I can''t wait!

 

[Erin]

I don''t know if it''s appropriate for a wedding but I love

The Blower''s Daughter - Damien Rice

BY MY SIDE
by Ben Harper

I love that song! Gets me teary just to think of it.

About the only song Weston and I have ever danced to is "At Last".

But we have always loved The Luckiest by Ben Folds.

I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

What if I'd been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?

And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you

Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away

I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts!!!

Every long lost dream,
Led me to where you are.
Other''s who broke my heart,
they were like northern stars.
Pointing me on my way,
into your loving arms.
This much I know is true-
That God Blessed the Broken Road that led me straight to you.

 

[larussel03]

Another one I love

Faith Hill "breath"

I can feel the magic floating in the air
Beign 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 just 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
CHORUS:
Cause I can feel you breathe
It''s washing over me
And 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
Slow and steady rush
Baby, isn''t that the way that love''s suppose to be
I can feel you breathe
In a way I know my heart is waking up
As all the walls come tumbling down
Closer than i''ve ever felt before
And I know, and you know
There''s no need for words right now

CHORUS:

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