First dance songs

[Kacie_bride]

I thought I would start a new thread today! I just wanted to know what everyone's first dance songs would be or what they were. I am probably going to go with Elvis Presley's I Can't Help Falling in Love With You.

[Kacie_bride]

Also if you would like to include other dance songs that would be cool too. We are going to do the mother/son dance with the father/son dance and I am thinking of I Hope You Dance by Leanne Womack.

Here is a link to a website that you can listen to lyrics on if you want to

and here is the link to I Can't Help Falling in Love With you if you want to read the lyrics and hear the song.

Great post, Kacie!

Our first song is "Sunday Morning" by Maroon 5. Jason and I love that song and it symbolizes our love. Plus we wanted something different. Here are the lyrics:
Sunday Morning Lyrics:
Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather still together when it ends

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
Singing someday it'll bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself back home to you

And you may not know
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning

We were also thinking about Crush by Dave Matthews Band but Maroon 5 won! Here are those lyrics:

Crazy how it feels tonight
Crazy how you make it all alright love
You crush me with the things you do
I do for you anything too
Sitting smoking feeling high
In this moment it feels so right
Lovely lady
I am at your feet
God I want you so badly
I wonder this
Could tomorrow be
So wondrous as you there sleeping
Let's go drive 'till morning comes
Watch the sunrise to fill our souls up
Drink some wine 'till we get drunk
It's crazy I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
Here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
Is this real or am I dreaming
Lovely lady
Let me drink you please
I won't spill a drop I promise you
Lying under this spell you cast on me
Each moment
The more I love you
Crush me
Come on
It's crazy I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
Here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
Is it real or am I dreaming
Lovely lady
I will treat you sweetly
Adore you I mean you crush me
It's times like these
When my faith I feel
And I know how I love you
Come on
Lady
It's crazy I'm thinking
Just as long as you're around
And here I'll be dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
To each other we'll be facing
By love we'll beat back the pain we've found
You know
I mean to tell you all the things I've been thinking deep inside
My friend
With each moment the more I love you
Crush me
Come on
So much you have given love
That I would give you back again and again
Meaning I'll hold you
And please let me always

[Kacie_bride]

Those lyrics are great! I've never heard the song before.

[Amber818]

I am not sure which one you are talking about, but both songs are sooooo great! You should listen to them and read the lyrics as you are listening to get the full impact of just how wonderful they are. Of course you can't really go wrong with Dave Matthews....LOL! : )

[countrygirl]

We are using "I cross my Heart" By George Strait!!!

[october6]

my frist song is 3 doors dwon here with out you

[LizabethDavis]

We are using "I Believe in Love" by Don Williams

www.myspace.com/lizabethdavis (http://www.myspace.com/lizabethdavis) will let you listen to the song!

[AllyM1]

We are using "I Could Not Ask For More" by Sara Evans

[LaceyinPgh]

I shall list it again

"All I Want is You" by my favorite group of Irishmen, U2.

[rainbowtreat]

Our song is " God Bless the Broken Road" by Rascall Flats. The words fit Nicholas and I as if they were written just for us.

I also want to play at one point Ann Murrays " Could I have This Dance " I absolutely love this song. I have since I was a child. I want to dance with Nicholas to this song.

Could I Have This Dance

I'll always remember the song they were playin',
The first time we danced and I knew,
As we swayed to the music and held to each other,
I fell in love with you.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
I'll always remember that magic moment,
When I held you close to me.
'Cause we moved together, I knew forever,
You're all I'll ever need
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?

[WhiskeyGirl]

We also used George Straits "i cross my heart"....good ol country love song!! lol

[hummingbird521]

Our first dance song is going to be Alan Jackson's "Once In a Lifetime Love". Neither one of us are that crazy for country music, but we loved this song. After the first dance it is just going to be whatever we want to play in the way of music.

[Jenn060306]

Mark and i are having 'Dance with you' by Live

[Shawna Bride]

We used the song "You had me from Hello" by Bon Jovi. My DH's loves Bon Jovi,and the song lyrics are so sweet:

At the mirror you fix your hair and put your makeup on
You're insecure about what clothes to wear
I cant see nothing wrong

To me you look so beautiful when you cant make up your mind
Its half past eight, its getting late
Its ok, take your time

Standing here my hands in my pockets
Like I have a thousand times
Thinking back it took one breath
One word to change my life

[chorus:]
The first time I saw you it felt like coming home
If I never told you I just want you to know
You had me from hello

When we walk into a crowded room its like were all alone
Everybody tries to kidnap your attention
You just smile and steal the show

You come to me and take my hand
We start dancin slow
You put your lips up to my ear and whisper way down low

[chorus:]
From the first time I saw you it felt like coming home
If I never told you I just want you to know
You had me from hello

And when youre laying down beside me
I feel your heartbeat to remind me...

[chorus:]
The first time I saw you it felt like coming home
If I never told you I just want you to know
You had me from hello

From hello
From hello

[Valmai]

We are having the Iron Maiden song Run to the Hills - we gonna have some slow song to start and then mix it so this starts up - for several reasons really
1. I love this song
2. I love to dance to it
3. We are not very traditional
4. It will make people lighten up.

Valmai xxx

[StaceyMc]

Valmai - My FH suggested "Run to the Hills" for our entrance song after I nixed it as our first dance song.

[Hayz]

If I had come across this song sooner then this is what I would've used this instead of "Chances Are".
I'm not the type of person that says "I love you" all the time so we could've used this song and I could've surprised Evan by having the band dedicate to him from me.

It has really nice music and also when I hear Bon Jovi sing this it makes me go weak at the knees. I love his voice and find it really relaxing.

I love this song and just telling yas about it I've had to put it on so now I'm listening to it.


Thank You for Loving Me


It's hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
There's no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words when I

[Chorus:]
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me

I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The sky's a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, you'd make believe
That you believed my lies

[Chorus:]
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me

You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me



[Solo]

Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words when I

[Chorus:]
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
You parted my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me

When I couldn't fly
Oh, you gave me wings
You parted my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me

[Twigler]

The song we are going to dance to is "I Swear" by John Michael Montgomery. I am from the country and like his verson better (as opposed to All For One).

"I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
But you can be sure I know my part
I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I'll make mistakes I'll never break your heart
Chorus
I swear, by the moon and the stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear, like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, 'til death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I swear
I'll give you everything I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
And we'll hang some memories on the wall
And when there's silver in your hair
You won't have to ask if I still care
Cause as time turns the page my love won't age at all
Chorus
I swear, by the moon and the stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear, like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, 'til death do up part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I swear"

[AngelinLove]

Our First song is gonna be "Remember When", by Alan Jackson....Joel hates country music...so I don't know how I pulled that off...but he loves this song.

"Remember When"

Remember when I was young and so were you
and time stood still and love was all we knew
You were the first, so was I
We made love and then you cried
Remember when

Remember when we vowed the vows
and walked the walk
Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember when

Remember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each other's hearts
Remember when

Remember when the sound of little feet
was the music
We danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we'd never give it up
Remember when

Remember when thirty seemed so old
Now lookn' back it's just a steppin' stone
To where we are,
Where we've been
Said we'd do it all again
Remember when

Remember when we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won't be sad, we'll be glad
For all the life we've had
And we'll remember when

[AngelinLove]

Our Song is Angel by Dave Matthews Band...which we will dance to at one point during the night...but didn't feel truly captured the feel of our wedding. This became our song, because it was the first song we danced to...and he sung it to me...because my name is Angel.


Angel

I call you up
You pick up
You call my bluff
On the cards of love
You hold too close
Your hands to your chest
I can't read your eyes
But I confess

It's lonely far from you
Even when you're right by me
It's only why I wait for you
To take my hand...

Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do? I love you...
Whatever you are... I swear
You'll be my angel
You...

I play my cards
The best I can
But I lose my luck
When your not here

My Darling heart
Won't ya please give in?
I may be strong
But I want ya back again...

When your not here
Oh its hard to pretend
Its all alright again
When your not here love
Its hard to pretend
Its all alright

Still, why do I beg like a child for your candy
Why do I run after you like I do I love you
Whatever you are...
I swear
You'll be my angel...
You...

Watch the deck, Count your cards
It makes no sense that I'm always losin
When you're gone...

Why do I beg like a child for your candy
Why do I come after you like I do I love you
Whatever you are
I swear
You'll be my angel
You...
When you're gone...
