What's your song?

[Deda]

If you were getting married today what would your song be? For your first dance? Father/daughter dance? Mother/Son?

My youngest son is gathering music for the playlist for my daughters upcoming May wedding. I had no idea I had so many favorite songs.

My song would be Lfehouse's - You and Me.

For my daughter's Father/Daughter dance they've chosen Buddy Holly's - True Love Ways.

DD's first dance with her new hubby will be Jay Z/Mr Hudson's - Forever Young.

My oldest son is getting married in September, our Mother/Son dance will be Rod Stewart's - Forever Young.


SO???? Share please. What would you want as the song for your first dance?

I am right with you l love" You and me" its been my favorite song since l first heard it and my second favorite is "Forever Young"

Oh Deda, a woman after my own heart. I love Lifehouse. Love love love.
Many many moons ago well about 11 years actually, My DH was the lead singer in a band, and I went to a club and he was playing (that's how we met), he sang "Fallin even more in love with you" right to me in front of the whole club....we've been together ever since.

anything sinatra or italian-romantic

 

[IrishLass]

My pick is Time To Say Goodbye by Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli. It's a great romantic song. The title can be a little misleading, though. When I first heard it (it's mostly sung in Italian except for when they sing the words 'time to say goodbye'), I thought it might be about a sad break-up or something, but happily it's not. It's actually about 2 lovers venturing out together on a new beginning as one- saying goodbye to their old lives and starting anew, but together with each other.

How 'bout Celine Dion's "Because you loved me" for the Father / Daughter dance? It's one of my favorite songs.

I agree.... I dont like the english version as much... "Con Te Partiro" the Italian version...faaar better IMO...

I sing that to my girl in Italian all the time... ...

Quando sono solo
sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole
si lo so che non c'e luce
in una stanza quando manca il sole
se non ci sei tu con me, con me
Su le finestre
mostra a tutti il mio cuore
che hai acceso
chiudi dentro me
la luce che
hai incontrato per strada

My favorite part of the whole song...

Jim Croce's "Time in a bottle" :

If I could save Time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'til Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

Twenty six years ago, my second hubby and I (who had been living together for 4 years) marched down the aisle to Abba's "The Way Old Friends Do"....still puts happy shivers down my spine.

[Tabitha]

Is love so fragile...
And the heart so hollow
Shatter with words... Impossible to follow
You're saying I'm fragile...
I try not to be I search only...
for something I can't see
I have my own life...
and I am stronger Than you know
But I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won't be walking out the door
Still I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won't be walking out the door
Lovers forever...
face to face
My city or mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather...
Take from me... my lace
You in the moonlight
With your sleepy eyes
Could you ever love a man like me
And you were right
When I walked into your house
I knew I'd never want to leave
Sometimes I'm a strong man
Sometimes cold and scared
And sometimes I cry
But that time I saw you
I knew with you to light my nights
Somehow I'd get by
First time I saw you
I knew with you to light my nights
Somehow I would get by
Lovers forever...
face to face
My city or mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather...
Take from me... my lace
Lovers forever... face to face
My city or mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you to stay
Give to me your leather
Take from me... my lace Take from me...my lace
Take from me... my lace

I think the grooms do the best job picking the backgroung song when the couple is first presented to the reception. They pick the funniest songs and get everyone having a good time right away.. Tell him to pick the theme song from his favorite action hero lol..
