I'm getting hitched next month. I've had this idea to come up with a compilation of some of my favorite "love you / getting married / with you forever" lyrics as my wedding speech. I want to put together one or two lines and/or verses from multiple songs to make one long speech for my soon to be wifey. For instance, I love I found a dream that I can speak to, A dream that I could call my own I found a thrill to press my cheek to A thrill that I have never known from "At last" and what comes is better than what came before from 'I Found A Reason." Any suggestions on love / marriage themed lyrics and/or verses that could work for this would be much appreciated. Thanks, GP
Let's get lost, lost in each others arms Let's get lost, let them send out alarms And if they think we're rather rude We'll tell the world we're in a crazy mood --Let's Get Lost (jazz standard) Darling, now I know I had the loneliest yesterday, everyday In your arms I know for once in my life, I'm living Had a good time, everytime I went out Romance was a thing, I kidded about How could I know about love....I didn't know about you --I Didn't Know About You (jazz standard) Hey You. Yes you. Yes you, the one who looks like Christmas. Come over here and kiss me, kiss me. --Hey You (the cure) Lately I find myself out gazing at stars Hearing guitars, like someone in love Sometimes, the things I do astound me Mostly, whenever you're around me --Like Someone in Love (jazz standard) Home ... is where I want to be, but I guess I'm already there I come home. She lifted up her wings, guess that this must be the place I can't tell one from another. Did I find you, or you find me? There was a time, before we were born If someone asks, this where I'll be --This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody) (talking heads) If I could, you know I would Just hold your hand and you'd understand: I'm the man who loves you --I'm the Man Who Loves You (wilco) Grand pianos crash together when my (girl) walks down the street There are whole new kinds of weather when (she) walks with (her) new beat --When My Boy Walks Down the Street (magnetic fields) ...congratulations.
How bout a little Hendrix, Bold as Love: My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war and Ribbons of euphoria Orange is young, full of daring, But very unsteady for the first go round My yellow in this case is not so mellow In fact Im trying to say its frigthened like me And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from, eh, Giving my life to a rainbow like you
