Can you help me with a song for our first dance for our wedding?

Question by lostandfound: Can you help me with a song for our first dance for our wedding?
We’ve been in a long distance relationship for 4 years and would like something a bit symbolic to that. Also, I’d like something slow and not an upbeat song. A traditional, slow wedding song.

Thanks!

How about carrying your love with me by George Straight? It’s the only one i can think of at the moment that fits with speaking of distance

I’ll keep thinking on it, so check back. Good Luck

   “I Will Not Take These Things for Granted” by Toad the Wet Sprocket. This is one of my favorites and I think it is a nice song for a first dance. Not sure if it will fit into your long distance theme but either way it’s a good slow song. Congratulations and good luck finding that perfect song.

   Another really good one that has a long distance theme is by Richard Marx called “Right Here Waiting”. I pasted the lyrics to both songs below to hopefully save you some time. Best of luck with your decision and congratulations! You can preview both songs for free on Amazon MP3 Download site.

   “I Will Not Take These Things for Granted”
   By: Toad The Wet Sprocket

   one part of me just wants to tell you everything
   one part just needs the quiet
   and if i’m lonely here, i’m lonely here
   and on the telephone
   you offer reassurance

   i will not take these things for granted

   how can i hold the part of me that only you can carry
   it needs a strength i haven’t found
   but if it’s frightening, i’ll bear the cold
   and on the telephone
   you offer warm asylum

   i’m listening
   flowers in the garden
   laughter in the hall
   children in the park
   i will not take these things for granted
   anymore

   to crawl inside the wire and feel something near me
   to feel this accepting
   that it is lonely here, but not alone
   and on the telephone
   you offer visions dancing

   i’m listening
   music in the bedroom
   laughter in the hall
   dive into the ocean
   singing by the fire
   running through the forest
   and standing in the wind
   in rolling canyons

   i will not take these things for granted

   RIGHT HERE WAITING
   Richard Marx
   - written by Richard Marx

   Oceans apart day after day
   And I slowly go insane
   I hear your voice on the line
   But it doesn’t stop the pain

   If I see you next to never
   How can we say forever

   Wherever you go
   Whatever you do
   I will be right here waiting for you
   Whatever it takes
   Or how my heart breaks
   I will be right here waiting for you

   I took for granted, all the times
   That I thought would last somehow
   I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
   But I can’t get near you now

   Oh, can’t you see it baby
   You’ve got me goin’ crazy

   Wherever you go
   Whatever you do
   I will be right here waiting for you
   Whatever it takes
   Or how my heart breaks
   I will be right here waiting for you

   I wonder how we can survive
   This romance
   But in the end if I’m with you
   I’ll take the chance

   Wherever you go
   Whatever you do
   I will be right here waiting for you
   Whatever it takes
   Or how my heart breaks
   I will be right here waiting for you
   Waiting for you
