First Dance Songs

'You are my Shining Star' by the Manhattans
Honey, you are my shining star
Don't you go away
Wanna be right here where you are
until my dying day

So many have tried, tried to find
a love like yours and mine

Girl, don't you realize
how you hypnotize?
Make me, love you more each time

Honey, I'll never leave you lonely
Give my love to you only
to you only, to you on-ly

Honey, you are my shining star
Don't you go away
Wanna be right here where you are
until my dying day

Feels so good when we're lying here next to each other
lost in love.

Baby, when we touch, love you so much
You're all I ever dreamed of.

Honey I'll never leave you lonely;
give my love to you only
to you only, to you only.

Honey, you are my shining star.
Don't you go away
Wanna be right here where you are
until my dying day.

More By Bobby Darrin


More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love I give to you alone.
More than the simple words I try to say
I only live to love you more each day.

More than you'll ever know
My arms, long to hold you so.
My life, will be in your keeping
Waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping.

Longer than always is a long, long time
But far beyond forever, you're gonna be mine.

I know I never lived before,
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.

Instrumental Break

More than you'll ever know
My arms long to hold you so.
My life will be in your keeping
Waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping.

Longer than always is a long, long time
But far beyond forever, you'll be mine.

I know I never lived before
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.

No one else, could love you more.

I am having such a hard time deciding between Shania's 'You're still the one' or Jessica Simpson's 'I wanna love you forever'...FH loves both too so we don't know yet

Oh, do I Wanna Love You Forever!!!! I love that song, I think I may put it on the must play list for some other point during the reception.

True Companion by Mark Cohn, I get choked up everytime I hear it/read it! Just read these words!

Baby I've been searching like everybody else
Can't say nothing different about myself
Sometimes I'm an angel
Sometimes I'm cruel
But when it comes to love I'm just another fool
Yes, I'll climb a mountain
I'm goinswim the sea
There ain't no act of God, girl
Could keep you safe from me
My arms are reaching out
Out across this canyon
I'm asking you to be my true companion
True Companion
So don’t you dare and try to walk away
I’ve got my heart set on our wedding day
I’ve got this vision of a girl in white
Made my decision that it’s you allright
And when I take your hand
I’ll watch my heart set sail
I’ll take my trembling fingers
And I’ll lift up your veil
Then I’ll take you home
And with wild abandon
Make love to you just like a true companion
You are my true companion
I got a true companion
True companion
When the years have done irreparable harm
I can see us walking slowly arm in arm
Just like the couple on the corner do
‘Cause girl I will always be in love with you
And when I look in your eyes
I’ll still see that spark
Until the shadows fall
Until the room grows dark
Then when I leave this Earth
I’ll be with the angels standin’
I’ll be out there waiting for my true companion
Just for my true companion
True companion
True companion

Jim Brickman-'Love of My Life'
He also has another song with Christina Ageulera (sp?)-'Destiny'

We're torn between 'Shining Star' by the Manhatthans or 'Come Away with Me' Norah Jones...this song reminds us of when we first started hanging out...we would listen to this cd for hours drinkng coffee and talking til the sun came up...but Alot of people are using it...I love the beat and words to Shining Star though....

(Chorus)
Honey you are my shining star
Don't you go away
Oh baby, wanna be
Right here where you are
Till my dying day, oh yea

So many have tried
Tried to find a love like yours and mine
Hmmmm mmmm mmmmm
Girl don't you realize
How you hypnotize
Make me love you each time, yeah baby
Honey I know I leave you lonely
Give my love to you only

chorus

Feel so good when we're lying here
Next to each other lost in love yeah baby
Baby when we touch, I love you so much
You're all I have with me now, yeah baby
Honey I know I leave you lonely
Give my love to you only
To you only, to you only

Chorus

You are my shining star
Don't you go away, oh -o-o baby
Honey you are my shining star
Honey right here where you are
Till my dying day, ahhh yeah
Honey you are my shining star
My shing star
Honey you are my shining star
Don't you go away, ohh baby

I'm using that song too! And we are both getting married at the east wind! We are song and place twins!

---

Not using that song...but the Maggie Sottero gown (Celeste) you have posted up is one of the gowns that I am undecided on...it's between that and the Monet??? I too am getting married at East Wind and my song is Spend my life with you by Eric Benet and Tamia

Unfortunately we have not decided yet, but here are our choices:
At Last- Etta James
When you say nothing at all- Rowan Keating
When you say you love me- Josh Groban
You're my First, ,last, Everyting- Barry White
All my Life- KC and JOJO

Ours is Come What May from the movie Moulin Rouge.

Come What May

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love more and more
Listen to my heart
Can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change
Winter to spring
But I love you until
The end of time
CHORUS:
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems
Such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with
Such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life
Doesn't seem such a waste
But our world revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song
I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until
The end of time

Repeat chorus

Oh, come what may
Come what may
I will love you
I will love you
Suddenly the world seems
Such a perfect place

oh we aren't decided yet...i hate picking a song..we don't really have just one..oh well just more to stress about

Either:
Come What May (from Moulin Rouge)
or
Overjoyed (Classic Stevie Wonder, not from the horrible 'i just called to say I love you' phase)

We thought we wanted 'Destiny' by Jim Brickman, but I heard 'I need you' by Marc Anthony on the radio yesterday and I might have changed my mind...here are the lyrics

From the day that I met you girl
I knew that your love would be
Everything that I ever wanted in my life
From the moment you spoke my name
I new everything had changed
Because of you I felt my life would be complete

[refrain]
Oh baby I need you
For the rest of my life girl I need you
To make everything right girl
I love you
And I’ll never deny that I need you

Nothing matters but you my love
And only God above
Could be the one to know exactly how I feel
I could die in your arms right now
Knowing that you somehow
Would take my soul and keep it deep inside your heart

[repeat refrain]

Girl your love to me feels just like magic
When you smile you have total control
You have power like nothing I’ve felt before
I’ve let all of my feelings show
Cuz I want you to know that.. I need you

I need you, for the rest of my life girl
I need you, say that you’ll be my wife oh
I love you, wont you marry me marry me
Oh I need you (nobody but you)
Oooh I need you, for the rest of my life
Oh I need you (nobody but you)
Wont you marry me marry me
I love you, I really need ya baby (I really need nobody but you)
I need you
Girl I really need… need you girl I really need you need you (I need you)
Oohhh baby I love you (I love you)
I need you, girl I really need ya need ya … oh baby…
Wont you marry me (I need you)
Wont you marry me marry me
I love you.. oohh ..
I need you. (I really need nobody but you)
