After much deliberation, and many a capella renditions of it on my part, I have finally convinced Jim of what song we should pick for our first dance as a married couple.
Lyrically and musically, there is no better choice.
Looking in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that Ive found
Is too good to be true
Standing here beside you
Want so much to give you
This love in my heart that Im feeling for youLet em say were crazy, I dont care about that
Put your hand in my hand baby
Dont ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if were heart to heartChorus:
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothings gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
Well still have each other
Nothings gonna stop us, nothings gonna stop us nowIm so glad I found you
Im not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes I will stay here with you
Take it to the good times
See it through the bad times
Whatever it takes is what Im gonna doLet em say were crazy, what do they know
Put your arms around me baby
Dont ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if were heart to heartAnd we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothings gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
Well still have each other
Nothings gonna stop us, nothings gonna stop usOoh, all that I need is you
All that I ever need
And all that I want to do
Is hold you forever, ever and ever, hey(guitar solo)
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothings gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
Well still have each other
Nothings gonna stop us
Nothings gonna stop us, whoa
Nothings gonna stop us now, oh noHey baby, I know, hey baby, nothings gonna stop us
Hey baby, woo, nothing, hey baby
Nothings gonna stop us now yeah
You posted all the lyrics to a Starship song. I’m…awestruck. I never thought it would actually happen.
You’re my hero. I can’t wait for your wedding. I need to send my RSVP, but consider this my unofficial one. If you remember, Nic and I saw Starship (in part) last year at the fair. Best time, EVER.
Hahahha! Pleeeeeeeeease let this be your first dance. Please! And then is going to be Walkin’ in Memphis for the rest of the wedding?
DK – oh I remember, all right. Here’s hoping they come back next year!!
Jess – I’m thinking Walkin’ in Memphis should be the processional….what do you think?
Processional for sure!!
Wait wait wait….. Is this serious? For reals?
Because that would be totally awesome.
Starship’s We Built This City should really figure prominently into the night.
If I do ever get married, the first dance will be to the Pet Shop Boy’s Suburbia (the nine minute version).
