Answer 2

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


I'll back you up Dave Matthews
I remember thinking
Ill go on forever only knowing
Ill see you again
But I know
The touch of you is so hard to remember
But like that touch I know no other
And for sure we have danced
In the risk of each other
Would like to dance
Around the world with me
Ill be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
When your not here thats hung
Around my head
And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, Ill back you up
I remember thinking
Sometimes we walk
Sometimes we run away
But I know
No matter how fast we are running
Somehow we keep
Somehow we keep up with each other
Ill be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
Hen your not here thats hung
Around my head
And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, Ill back you up

Answer 3

We are doing Angel by Aerosmith

I'm alone yeah I don't know if I can face the night
I'm in tears and the cryin that i do is for you
I want your love let's break the wall between us
Don't make it tough, I'll put away my pride
Enough's enough, I've suffered and I've seen the light
You're my angel come and save me tonight
You're my angel come and make it alright
You're my angel come and save me tonight
Don't know what I'm gonna do about thins feeling inside
Yes, it's true loneliness took me for a ride
Without your love, I'm nothin but a beggar
Without your love, a dog without a bone
What can I do, I'm sleepin in this bed alone
You're the reason I live
You're the reason I die
You're the reason I give when I break down and cry
Don't need no reason why
Baby, baby, baby

Answer 5

My finace and I are going to be dancing to Into the Mystic by Van Morrison, sorry I can't provide lyrics without the actual music but it starts off:

We were born before the wind,
Also younger than the sun.....

If you heard it you will know what song I'm talking about. Good Luck and Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, may it be a blessed one! : )

Answer 6

My fiance and I aren't getting married for a while but we have already picked our song - Amazed by Lonestar.

Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams

I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I want to spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you

The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh, it feels like the first time, every time
I want to spend the whole night in your eyes

Chorus

Solo

Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I want to spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you

Answer 7

An oldie but goodie is "We've Only Just Begun" Written by Paul Williams and Roger Nichols and performed by "The Carpenters." Here are the lyrics:


We've only just begun to live,
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way.
And yes, We've just begun.

Before the rising sun we fly,
So many roads to choose
We start our walking and learn to run.
And yes, We've just begun.

Sharing horizons that are new to us,
Watching the signs along the way,
Talking it over just the two of us,
Working together day to day
Together.

And when the evening comes we smile,
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow,
And yes, We've just begun.

Good luck!!!

Answer 8

This is different, I know.. but I love the idea of using katharine mcphee's "somewhere over the rainbow" as a first dance... to me it symbolizes the magical place you're in when you're in love... and McPhee has a really beautiful version of it - not cheesy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Someday I wish upon a star
and wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
Thats where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

Answer 9

My fiance and I are using
My Guardian Angel-Red Jumpsuit Appartus
It's a good song but you have to like that kind of music to really get it. Good luck

Answer 10

We are debating between "Into the Mystic", by the Wallflowers or "Never my Love" by The Association.
You can look up lyrics online fairly easy.
