The lyrics of this song almost makes me cry. It’s a touching song from a man to his lady.

You’ve touched these tired eyes of mine
And mapped my face line by line
And some how growing old feels fine
I listen close for I’m not smart
You wrap your thoughts and works of art
And there hanging on the walls of my heart.

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I’m yours.

And though my edge is maybe rough
I never feel I’m quite enough
And it may not seem like very much
But I’m yours.

You healed these scars over time
And braced my soul, you loved my mind
Your the only angel in my life
The day the news came, my best friend died
My knees went weak, and you saw me cry
Say I’m still the soldier in your eyes.

Don’t forget to check out the “first dance songs” playlist on the menu bar up top.

I have been searching for this song ever since I saw the Cheerios commercial when the husband and wife and playing around with their breakfast in the morning. It’s a cover of Macy Gray’s “I Try” and I think it’s beautiful. Think about this for your first dance.

Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here
When will they stop
I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together
But we’re not
I play it off but I’m dreamin of you
I’ll keep it cool but I’m fiendin.
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it’s clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it’s clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

I may appear to be free
But I’m just a prisoner of your love
I may seem alright and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front
I play it off but I’m dreamin of you
I’ll keep my cool but I’m fiendin
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it’s clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

Here is my confession
May I be your possesion
Boy I need your touch
Your love kisses and such
With all my might I try
But this I can’t deny
I play it off but im dreamin of you
I’ll keep my cool but I’m fiendin
I try to say good bye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it’s clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

Another potential first dance song from indie artist Meiko. It’s it pretty?

Give me a reason to fall in love
Take my hand and let’s dance
Give me a reason to make me smile
Cause I think I forgot how

I wanna fall asleep with you tonight
I wanna know that I am safe when you hold me tight
I wanna feel like I wanna feel forever

Girls need attention, and boys need us
So let’s make everybody glad
That they have each other in each others arms
Oh let’s make everybody glad

I want you.

I wanna dream away with you tonight
We can go anywhere you would like
I wanna feel how I wanna feel forever

I want you

A big thank you to Samantha for bringing this song to my attention because I have been wondering for a while who sings this song. I Love it. It’s a really good choice for a first dance song. For more, check out my first dance song playlist above.

If you were falling, then I would catch you
You need a light, I’d find a match

Cuz I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am

If you are chilly, here take my sweater
Your head is aching; I’ll make it better

Cuz I love the way you call me baby
And you take me the way I am

I’d buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair
Sew on patches to all you tear

Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise
And you take me the way I am
You take me the way I am
You take me the way I am

Heard this song and immediately thought it would be fitting for a first dance. I love James Morrison’s distinct voice and the lyrics are about love from a guy’s point of view I’ve added it to my First Dance Playlist on the top menu bar. Go listen to them if you’re looking for a song – I opt for things that are not too mainstream and are not used often.

There was a time
I had nothing to give
I needed shelter from the storm i was in
And when it all got too heavy
You carried my weight
And i want to hold you
And i want to say

That you are all that i need
For you, I give my soul to keep
You see me, love me
Just the way i am
For you i am a better man
I said you are the reason
For everything i do
I’d be lost, so lost without you

Under the stars
At the edge of the sea
There’s no one around
No one but you and me
We’d talk for hours
As time drifts away
I could stay here forver
And hold you this way

Coz you are all that i need
For you, I give my soul to keep
You see me, love me
Just the way i am
For you i am a better man
I said you are the reason
For everything i do
I’d be lost, so lost without you

I loveeeee Robin Thicke. I just picked up his newest CD, “Something Else” and once again, it’s amazing. One song in particular, “The Sweetest Love” is a perfect first dance song so I thought I’d post the lyrics and the song here. I’ll be posting random song lyrics to songs as I com across them, so stay tuned.

Why do people smile when no one’s smiling?
Its cuz their thinking of someone they’re loving
Keep on believing we are meant to me and
Nothing’s stopping you and me from going to heaven
Sweetest love

I got the sweetest love there ain’t nothing sweeter
I got the sweetest love ain’t nothing beat it
There ain’t nothing sweeter

Now we’re clever is about to inch just one ladder
It gets better every second we’re together
Oooh baby it feels so right
A new beginning starts tonight
The reason for when it’s on
Is because of you and me and
Sweetest love

Finally I can’t believe
Coz you and me, you’re my sweetest love

I got the sweetest love there ain’t nothing sweeter
I got the sweetest love ain’t nothing beat it
There ain’t nothing sweeter

Come on now, I got the sweetest love there ain’t nothing sweeter
I got the sweetest love can’t nothing beat it
There ain’t nothing sweeter oh yeah

Now I got that feeling in my gut
Now I need your fire in my life
Now I wanna give you love so much
And I keep on feeling my sweet, my sweet
Sweetest love

I can’t believe that you and me, we gotta be
You’re my sweetest love

I got the sweetest love there ain’t nothing sweeter
I got the sweetest love can’t nothing beat it
There ain’t nothing sweeter

Come on now, I got the sweeter love there ain’t nothing sweeter
I got the sweetest love can’t nothing beat it
There ain’t nothing sweeter ooohh

I got the sweetest love there ain’t nothing sweeter
I got the sweetest love can’t nothing beat it
There ain’t nothing sweeter ooohh

I got the sweetest love ain’t nothing be sweeter
I got the sweetest love can’t nothing beat it
There ain’t nothing sweeter

Sweetest love
I can’t believe, you and me, we gotta be
Oh my sweetest love

If you are willing to stray from the convential ‘first dance’ song, I’ve got a GREAT alternative for you. I just purchased the Sex in the City sountrack and I am soooo pleased. It’s really fantastic.

Anyways, there’s a song by “The bird and the bee” which is a cover of the Bee Gee’s “How Deep is Your Love” that you should check out. Heck, I might even use it! My boyfriend, who is hard to please, even agreed it was nice

Here’s a youtube video of the song if you don’t have the CD.
