Help us pick our first dance song!
Which song do you like better? We are having a tough time deciding.
Come Away with Me - Norah Jones
Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies
I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows
knee-high
So won't you try to come
Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you
And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me
You're My Home - Billy Joel
When you look into my eyes
And you see the crazy gypsy in my soul
It always comes as a surprise
When I feel my withered roots begin to grow
Well, I never had a place that I could call my very own
But that's alright my love,
'Cause your my home
When you touch my weary head
And you tell me ev'rything will be alright
You say use my body for your bed
And my love will keep you warm throughout the night
Well, I'll never be a stranger
And I'll never be alone
Where ever we're together that's my home
Home can be the Pennsylvania Turnpike
Indiana early morning dew
High up in the hills of California
Home is just another word for you
If I traveled all my life
And I never get to stop and settle down
Long as I have you by my side
There's a roof above and good walls all around
You're my castle, you're my cabin and my instant pleasure dome
I need you in my house 'cause you're my home

Re: Help us pick our first dance song!
They are both great songs!! A lot of people are using two songs, you could always use both of them!!

Re: Help us pick our first dance song!
Not a big Norah Jones fan. FH and I picked " a
moment like this". At first, we were goingto use "Best thing that ever happened to me" by Gladys Knight. But after seeing the Clarkson/Aiken concert, we chose her song.

Re: Help us pick our first dance song!
I can't decide. Why don't you use both. One from the bride to the groom and the other way around. One as the first dance and one after the cake. I have seen that done before.

Re: Help us pick our first dance song!
Jackie, my vote is for Billy Joel.
It just seems more like a song you and Brad would like, I don't know. And I can see Brad singing it to you - the Norah Jones one not so much.
But go with your gut.

Re: Help us pick our first dance song!
Thanks for your opinions! I have always loved "You're My Home." It's one of my favorite Billy Joel songs, but I thought it might be a little too fast for our first dance. Maybe I can have the band slow it down a notch. FH and I both love Norah Jones, and we had decided awhile back that "Come Away with Me" would be our wedding song. Now, however, everytime I listen to "You're My Home", I think about what a beautiful wedding song it would make...

Re: Help us pick our first dance song!
Use both!! We had to pick two songs. One was our first dance and that was immediately followed by our good luck dance in which the bridal party and eventually everyone else joined in!!

Re: Help us pick our first dance song!
who says you only get one song? use one as the first and one as the second, invite the parents only to join you on the second song, I am doing something like that, I am having our first dance and then My parents wedding song and dancing with them at one point in the night I am oging to have my sisters wedding song and have her and her hubby and baby dance with us, do as many special songs as you want, both are great songs.
