That was my parents' wedding song. High drama for a couple of early-20s lovebirds. |
I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine Happy together, unhappy together, and won't it be fine Days may be cloudy or sunny We're in or we're out of the money But I'm with you always, I'm with you rain or shine Harold Arlen |
I've been hearing Bob Dylan a lot lately. Distinctive style, but great poetry. |
Really old?
"She'll be coming around the mountain, when she comes.." |
Danny Boy!!
Must go listen to this now... |
whoops, meant Danny's Song... although the latter may qualify... |
You are not alone! |
My wedding song was Marc Cohn's True Companion |
True Companion
Baby I've been searching like everybody else Can't say nothing different about myself Sometimes I'm an angel And sometimes I'm cruel And when it comes to love I'm just another fool Yes, I'll climb a mountain I'm gonna swim the sea There ain't no act of God girl Could keep you safe from me My arms are reaching out Out across this canyon I'm asking you to be my true companion True companion True companion So don't you dare and try to walk away I've got my heart set on our wedding day I've got this vision of a girl in white Made my decision that it's you alright And when I take your hand I'll watch my heart set sail I'll take my trembling fingers And I'll lift up your veil Then I'll take you home And with wild abandon Make love to you just like a true companion You are my true companion I got a true companion True companion When the years have done irreparable harm I can see us walking slowly arm in arm Just like the couple on the corner do Cause girl I will always be in love with you And when I look in your eyes I'll still see that spark Until the shadows fall Until the room grows dark Then when I leave this Earth I'll be with the angels standin' I'll be out there waiting for my true companion Just for my true companion True companion True companion |
Ben Folds, the Luckiest |
Etta James "At Last" Actually want it played at my funeral |
Unchained Melody is one that comes to mind, despite the "Ghost" factor. |
You Send Me -- Sam Cooke.
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes -- The Platters: They asked me how I knew My true love was true I of course replied Something here inside cannot be denied They said someday you'll find All who love are blind When your heart's on fire You must realize Smoke gets in your eyes So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed To think they could doubt my love Yet today my love has flown away I am without my love Now laughing friends deride Tears I cannot hide So I smile and say When a lovely flame dies Smoke gets in your eyes. Smoke gets in your eyes Smoke gets in your eyes Smoke gets in your eyes! |
Eagles--Last Resort
Dire Straits--Romeo & Juliet Bobbie Gentry--Ode to Billie Joe |
Eerily cool! |
