Okay here I am 5 days before my wedding, I just dropped my dress off to be steamed, I run thru the drive up at McDonald's (yes, healthy I know) and grabbed a heart clogger value meal and was zipping down the road when I heard the DJ on the radio say "up next AJ's (Alan Jackson) new one...Like Red On A Rose" okay................THAT got my attention:o ...red roses are our flowers for the wedding, there is a very symbolic reason that I have more red roses in my wedding than an orchard on rose day..... and I love Alan Jackson...the music started... he started singing and I got goosebumps! The Big Mac went into the floor board :bbeek: (literally I stuffed it into the bag and threw the bag went into the floorboard) and I am madly digging for my Motorolla Razer (why in the hell did I buy such an itty bitty phone...I can never FIND it in my bottomless pit of a purse)!

Anyway, I get Eric on the phone and I'm sure he is baffled by my babbling.....
"I found a new song, Like Red On A Rose, OMG honey it's perfect...it is so US, I know we have a song but it needs to be CHANGED, here listen (insert muffled radio via cellphone sound here), wasn't that perfect? Oh yes it's the ONE, I love you too!"

I hung up and RUN into my office pull it up on-line and WALLAH! I found it on another site (which shall remain nameless LOL) burnt it and it's on disk in my purse as we speak (or as I type) LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

OUR NEW FIRST DANCE SONG....

Take a listen...http://www.alanjackson.com/home/index.htm (http://www.alanjackson.com/home/index.htm)

Here are the lyrics

LIE RED ON A ROSE

Like red on a rose
When your lips first smiled at me
I was captured instantly
To each his own

Like blue in the sky
The gaze of your willing eyes
Touched something deep inside
The truth be known

That I love you like all little children love pennies
And I love you ‘cause I know that I can’t do anything wrong
You’re where I belong
Like red on a rose

And I love you like all little children love pennies
And I love you like good times of which I’ve known many
And I love you ‘cause I know you give me a heart of my own
You make my blood flow
Like red on a rose

Yes I did, I was trying to burn the song, I'm answering you now.......in a PM

I almost ran off the road when I heard it (not good in 4 lanes of traffic during lunch hour rush)!

I always say things happen for a reason. As long as your wedding hasn't happened yet, it's never too late to switch! Good job on finding the perfect song. :D

I love Alan Jackson as well. One reason his song "once in a lifetime love" was our song too. Congrats on finding it in time.

I dunno, I have loved him since I was a teenager! My very first CD was Alan Jackson!

I cried too, I called Eric and was "babbling incoherently" as he said, he thouht something was horribly wrong.................then he figured out it was "wedding stuff" and started chuckling after he got off the phone with me.
