what do you think of this song for first dance

I LOVE this song by Sting and Mary J. it really makes me think of my fh but not so sure it's 'appropriate' for a wedding....but it certainly says a lot about all we went through to get here..... anyway, these are the lyrics.

Whenever I say your name, whenever I call to mind your face
Whatever bread's in my mouth, whatever the sweetest wine that I taste
Whenever your memory feeds my soul, whatever got broken becomes whole
Whenever I’m filled with doubts that we will be together

Wherever I lay me down, wherever I put my head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I got to lie awake and weep
Whenever I kneel to pray, whenever I need to find a way I’m calling out your name

Whenever those dark clouds hide the moon
Whenever those dark clouds hide the moon
Whenever this world has gotten so strange
I know that something's gonna change
Something's gonna change

Whenever I say your name, whenever I say your name, I’m already praying, I’m already praying
I’m already filled with a joy that I can't explain
Wherever I lay me down, wherever I rest my weary head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I got to lie awake and weep
Whenever I’m on the floor
Whatever it was that I believed before
Whenever I say your name, whenever I say it loud, I’m already praying

Whenever this world has got me down, whenever I shed a tear
Whenever the TV makes me mad, whenever I’m paralyzed with fear
Whenever those dark clouds fill the sky, whenever I lose the reason why
Whenever I’m filled with doubt that we will be together

Whenever the sun refuses to shine, whenever the skies are pouring rain
Whatever I lost I thought was mine whenever I close my eyes in pain
Whenever I kneel to pray, whenever I need to find a way I’m calling out your name

Whenever this dark begins to fall
Whenever I’m vulnerable and small
Whenever I feel like I could die
Whenever I’m holding back the tears that I cry, cry

Whenever I say your name, whenever I call to mind your face I’m already praying
Whatever bread's in my mouth, whatever the sweetest wine that I taste
Wherever I lay me down, wherever I rest my weary head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I’m forced to lie awake and have to weep
Whenever I’m on the floor
Whatever it was that I believed before
Whenever I say your name, whenever I say it loud, I’m already praying

Whenever I say your name,
No matter how long it takes,
One day we'll be together

Whenever I say your name,
Let there be no mistake
That day will last forever

Its abeautiful song but for some reason I get the feeling that its about broken hearts that are longing to be together...but are not together just yet...

I agree with Sylvia. I love this song but think it's more about longing to be wtih someone.

yeah...that's what I thought...the song has a lot of meaning b/c we were apart for a while....it makes me think about how far we have come, but I think that may be best for private reveries...

thanks.

Saw it live babydoll. If you love the song and it has special meaning to the both of you - have it! No one will sit there and analyze your song choice....unless of course it's 'A Woman's Worth' (Qianna that was for you... )

Um, Ricky bought us tickets for some special appearance/concert out in LA like a year or two ago. Sting and Elton John were special guests, it was at the House of Blues..I think that's what it was called.

I LOVE Sting! for some reason, I have a thing for poetic British men. I've seen him a few times in concert.

I agree, it doesn't scream 'first dance song' to me but that is JMHO

I'm not biased - I love any man with an accent.
