Re: First Dance...????

Both will be played.. We have been practicing to Sinatra but If heard iffy's from people about it being a bad first dance song... so, then we though Amazed.. b/c it was the first song we slow dance too at one of his militay balls...

And being a guy he likes Frank better..lol More manly.. lol

Come on ladies I know your out there!! The wedding is next friday!! help

Re: First Dance...????

Sinatra's lyrics..

Thought this might help
Some day, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Oh but you're lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Lovely , never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh, that laugh that wrinkles your funny nose
It touches my foolish heart

Lovely , never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
'Cause I love you, love you
Just the way you look tonight

Just the way you look tonight

Re: First Dance...????

and lone stars

Everytime our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams

I don't know how you what you do
I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me, baby you surround me

You touch everyplace in my heart
Oh, it feels the first time everytime
I wanna spent the whole night in your eyes

I don't know how you what you do
I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

Re: First Dance...????

I like the words to Amazed but they both have a totally different beat to them. The Way is definitely more up tempo, can you dance to it? I don't think anyone can tell you what is better. One has to edge the other out for something in a lyric, doesn't it??

Re: First Dance...????

I like Sinatra better but I am biased to songs that have already stood the test of time and will never be out of fashion.

Think back to the popular wedding songs of the 80s - at the time they were great but now they seem a bit cheesy - it will take another 20 years for them to come back into vogue. The same will be true of the more popular wedding songs of today.

Re: First Dance...????

I would lean towards a classic - so I'd choose Sinatra. Both songs have sweet lyrics though

Re: First Dance...????

my vote's for Amazed ... who knows, maybe it'll be a classic one day

also, i personally like the idea of choosing a song that's a 'sign of the time.' just another opinion to consider!

Re: First Dance...????

I think amazed has beautiful lyrics-but I think it's good only if it makes you both feel good. The way you look is beautiful & classic-when you guys practice, what feels right? It's totally about the two of you( although OUR opinions mean everything

)
you & fi should decide together IMO.
Let us know what you decide!

Re: First Dance...????

the most important thing is how the songs make you and FH feel....but if you are equally touched by both, then go with sinatra....i wanted that song too, but my FH preferred elvis...i think it's a happy, upbeat and sweet song that will always be a classic...

Re: First Dance...????

And the winner with less then a week to go.......
He's timeless, He is Classic.

His first few lines fit us perfectly as a military husband and wife since there will be many times (unfortunatly) we might feel really low apart and thinking of our first dance as husband and wife at our wedding and the way we looked that night, will be the perfect thing to think about..
