I agree. Could not ask for more as your "wedding song" Use the other at another special time of the day

Re: Please help me decide between these 2 songs

I would do both if they both have a special meaning to you and you can't choose!

Re: Please help me decide between these 2 songs

Here's another vote for I Could Not Ask for More!!! What a beautiful song!

Isn't the Don Henley song about taking his newborn baby home from the hospital?

Re: Please help me decide between these 2 songs

I love both songs!! We're using "I Could Not Ask for More" as they show our baby pics and engagement pics at the reception before we're introduced. "Take You Home" both my cousin and FI's friend used so I don't want to use it.

Re: Please help me decide between these 2 songs

I could not ask for more - that's our song too!

My cousin had the same problem and her FH (now DH) said "close your eyes and picture your wedding. We've just been introduced and we step to the middle of the dance floor...What song do you picture us dancing to?"

Seemed to work for them...

Re: Please help me decide between these 2 songs

I vote for Taking You Home. But I love Don Henley and the words are very apropos for me and FH. I get choked up everytime I hear that song. But we are not using it ourselves b/c FH does not like it.

Re: Please help me decide between these 2 songs

Hi Valenia! I read somewhere that "Taking You Home" was about Don Henley meeting and marrying his second (or susbequent) wife. He had resigned himself to being alone after his first marriage (or second or whatever) and then he met her. ("I had a good life...before you came...")
She was much younger than he was and apparently totally changed his life. They have a little baby now. He also has adult children from his first marriage(s).

Re: Please help me decide between these 2 songs

I had heard that "Taking You Home" was about Don Henley taking home his baby from the hospital. I remember bawling when they played that song on ER and Juliana Margulies was bringing her twins to where George Clooney was living!

Re: Please help me decide between these 2 songs

Use I can not ask for more as your wedding song and the don henley song as your second song.
