Father/bride Dance POLL

Andrea Boccelli- Timeless...

I LOVE this song, but is it too MORBID for the Father/Bride dance?

Here are the lyrics- In Italian, and translated into English on bottom:

Quando sono solo
Sogno allorizzonte
E mancan le parole
Si lo so che non c? luce
In una stanza
Quando manca il sole
Se non ci sei tu con me, con me.
Su le finestre
Mostra a tutti il mio cuore
Che hai acceso
Chiudi dentro me
La luce che
Hai incontrato per strada

Time to say goodbye
Paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso si li vivro.
Con te partiro
Su navi per mari
Che io lo so
No no non esistono piu
Its time to say goodbye.

Quando sei lontana
Sogno allorizzonte
E mancan le parole
E io si lo so
Che sei con me con me
Tu mia luna tu sei qui con me
Mio sole tu sei qui con me
Con me con me con me

Time to say goodbye
Paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso si li vivro.
Con te partiro
Su navi per mari
Che io lo so
No no non esistono piu
Con te io li rivivro.
Con te partiro
Su navi per mari
Che io lo so
No no non esistono piu
Con te io li rivivro.
Con te partiro
Io con te.

Time to say goodbye
----------------------

When Im alone
I dream on the horizon
And words fail;
Yes, I know there is no light
In a room
Where the sun is not there
If you are not with me.
At the windows
Show everyone my heart
Which you set alight;
Enclose within me
The light you
Encountered on the street.

Time to say goodbye,
To countries I never
Saw and shared with you,
Now, yes, I shall experience them,
Ill go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
With you I shall experience them.

When you are far away
I dream on the horizon
And words fail,
And yes, I know
That you are with me;
You, my moon, are here with me,
My sun, you are here with me.
With me, with me, with me,

Time to say goodbye,
To countries I never
Saw and shared with you,
Now, yes, I shall experience them,
Ill go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
With you I shall re-experience them.
Ill go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
With you I shall re-experience them.
Ill go with you,
I with you.

IMHO - it seems a little depressing that you won't have any more memories or travels with him, when you will, you'll just be sharing them with your husband to be.

Thats why I wasnt sure about doing it.. it IS a morbid song, but its pretty much TRUE!

Thank you for the reply, much appreciated!

I dont think its an appropriate song for a father/daughter dance. JMO. It is a truly amazing song, but I think its too sad for father/daughter, and also - too much of a 'sad love song'. In another words - i relate it more to someone who lost their spouse/love of their life and is saying that they can no longer be together physically, but wll be together forever in spirit.

I am having Figlia Mia - from Gigione as my father/daughter dance. its a beautiful song - check it out (if you want)

Hope I helped ...

If you want something uplifting, and with a similar voice, I chose Josh Groban's 'You Raise Me Up' - to basically thank my Dad for everything he's given me emotionally and physically thru the years.

Re: Father/bride Dance POLL

I know WHY you would want that song...but i just think something else might be a little better...what are the lyrics to figlia mia..

Waht about something simple like Thank Heaven for Little Girls....

It kinda does sound like a funeral song, but if its going to be played in italian and the melody is uplifting I say go for it. Its your day. Obviously this song appeals to you.

Wow- what a beautiful song! I agree it seems a little sad at parts, but if it means something to you and it'll be sung in Italian~ then use it
My song also makes me cry, so I have to listen to it over and over for the next 8 months until I'm used to it ;)
