Ideas for songs for the first dance...

We are starting to think of what song to use and are kind of stuck. Any ideas?

Re: Ideas for songs for the first dance...

we went with something sweet but not too sappy - it's a song by billy joel called 'you're my home'. it's been 'our song' for a long time. it's not really a typical slow dance, but the words are fantastic and meaningful for us.

i think picking a first song is a very individual choice. some people want a classic love song, others want a song that has sentimental value, and others want a recent, new song to celebrate beginning a new life together. so it really depends what kind of feel you are looking for...

Well I definitely don't want a new song and I don't want a classic song that a lot of people have done before. Just want a nice song with nice words. I wouldn't even mind if it wasn't the traditional slow type of song. Any good country love songs? I love songs where its both a guy and girl singing for different parts. Is anything about planning a wedding easy?

So some duets that are nice...Faith Hill and Tim McGraw..It's your Love. Let's Make Love. Older songs: If You Say My Eyes are Beautiful-Whitney Houston and Germain Jackson. Finally Found Someone-Barbra Streisand and Bryan Adams I think..These are some of my favs.

thanks for your help! I never heard the faith hill/tim mcgraw song but the lyrics are pretty. I'll have to check that one out.

our song was called 'Have a Little Faith in Me' and is written and performed by John Hiatt, but has been covered be a few artists. The words really mean alot to us.

We were also considering 'Keeper of the Stars' by Tracy Byrd (a country song)

another country song would be 'Me & You' by Kenny Chesney

The current winner for us is:

'Let's Stay Together' by Al Green.
