That song, of course, now holds special significance in our marriage. However, when I was just starting to understand what this "love thing" was, one song stuck in my head. All these years since it came out, I've called it my "Couples Only Skate" song, because I remember watching all the young couples who were obviously deeply in love (or lust) skating in each other's arms and staring into one another's eyes. This is totally cheesy, but I love it, and I'm not embarassed to admit it. It's REO Speedwagon's "Keep on Loving You."<br />Here are the lyrics that play in the soundtrack of my life:<br />"And I meant, every word I said<br />When I said that I love you I meant<br />That I love you forever"<br /><br />By the way, Andrew, thanks for visiting my blog and commenting.

One song always stood out for my husband and myself. "Our song" would be "With You" by Lila McCann. We were young when we fell in love (me 16 him 17) and married at 18 and 19. Everyone we knew, including our families, thought we were insane for getting married so young. But I knew I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life, for better or worse no matter what anyone thought. We've been married for over 7 years now and we still smile when we hear this song.<br /><br /><br />Last night I couldn't sleep<br />I found it hard to even breathe<br />Oh I'm in trouble deep...with you<br /><br />Today I stayed in bed<br />Can't shake these voices in my head<br />I've fallen off the edge...with you<br /><br />Well all my friends say that I'm<br />Way out of touch, if I'm not<br />crazy then baby this must be love<br /><br />I would go anywhere<br />Do anything, no I don't care<br />Long as I know<br />I'll always go...with you<br /><br />Now it's all making sense<br />Forever's in the present tense<br />I know it all begins...with you<br /><br />Oh and so the story goes<br />I am yours to have and hold<br />And I can't wait to grow old...with you<br /><br />Well all my friends say that I'm<br />Way out of touch, if I'm not<br />crazy then maybe I'm crazy in love<br /><br />I would go anywhere<br />Do anything, no I don't care<br />Long as I know<br />I'll always go...with you<br /><br />Well all my friends say that I'm<br />Way out of touch, if I'm not<br />crazy then baby this could be love<br /><br />I would go anywhere<br /><br />I would go anywhere<br />Do anything, no I don't care<br />Long as I know<br />I'll always go...with you<br />With you<br />I would go anywhere with youMohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05561606382080756103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30644215.post-3528889582443763852007-01-23T09:41:00.000-04:002007-01-23T09:41:00.000-04:00Our song, the one we both insisted be played by th...Our song, the one we both insisted be played by the band (our friends) at our informal wedding reception, is:<br /><br />Wonderful Tonight<br />(by eric clapton)<br /><br />Its late in the evening<br />She's wondering what clothes to wear<br />She puts on her make up<br />And brushes her long blonde hair<br />And then she asks me<br />Do I look alright<br />And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight<br /><br />We go a party<br />And everyone turns to see<br />This beautiful lady<br />Thats walking around with me<br />And then she asks me<br />Do you feel alright<br />And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight<br /><br />I feel wonderful<br />Because I see the love light in your eyes<br />And the wonder of it all<br />Is that you just don't realize<br />How much I love you<br /><br />Its time to go home now<br />And I've got an aching head<br />So I give her the car keys<br />She helps me to bed<br />And then I tell her<br />As I turn out the light<br />I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight<br />Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight<br /><br />Whenever I hear it play, I have to stop and listen. And if he's not there, I'm thinking of Bob. If he is there, we hold hands and share a look or a hug, depending on where we are.Klynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00660732347810470100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30644215.post-2702646715887319752007-01-23T01:37:00.000-04:002007-01-23T01:37:00.000-04:00Thank you for the comment on my blog.

I'm very awed! :)<br /><br />I second Chantal Kreviazuk's song Feels Like Home and I 3 other favorites that we also used during our wedding because of their beautiful lyrics and melody.<br /><br />1. Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts - I especially like this line: "lovers who broke my heart, they were like northern stars; pointing me on my way into your loving arms - this time i know it's true that God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you."<br /><br />2. When You Know by Shawn Colvin (from the movie Serendipity) - "when it feels this time, you found the one you never let him go... coz you know, when you know, then you know."<br /><br />3. At the Beginning by Richard Marx and Donna Lewis (from the movie Anastasia) - "in the end, I want to be standing at the beginning with you"... The lyrics is wonderful - it's almost like our theme song!! :)flowerdrumsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14119037340336629838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30644215.post-35354098532297867922007-01-22T15:44:00.000-04:002007-01-22T15:44:00.000-04:00Two of my favorite love songs are "The Luckiest" b...Two of my favorite love songs are "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds, which is "our" song (my hubby and me) and "Feels Like Home" by Randy Newman (especially the version performed by Bonnie Raitt, which you should really listen to if you've never heard it.)<br /><br />THE LUCKIEST<br />I don't get many things right the first time<br />In fact, I am told that a lot<br />Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls<br />Brought me here<br /><br />And where was I before the day<br />That I first saw your lovely face?<br />Now I see it everyday<br />And I know<br /><br />That I am<br />I am<br />I am<br />The luckiest<br /><br />What if I'd been born fifty years before you<br />In a house on a street where you lived?<br />Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike<br />Would I know?<br /><br />And in a white sea of eyes<br />I see one pair that I recognize<br />And I know<br /><br />That I am<br />I am<br />I am<br />The luckiest<br /><br />I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you<br /><br />Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties<br />And one day passed away in his sleep<br />And his wife;

I love it because I think anybody who has ever been screwed over by anybody else, an ex-lover, an old friend, your crazy deposit-keeping landlord, can relate to it, especially once you get your life back on track.<br /><br />The lyric are: <br /><br />For all the things you said I'd never do<br />For all the<br />things you said that were untrue<br />For all the times you made<br />me feel alone<br />Said I'd never make it on my own(chorus 1)Things are lookin' up for me now<br />Seems like Karma's makin' its rounds <br />Its my<br />turn now, won't be held down no<br />Karma's gonna<br />visit you too<br />You gotta pay for the things you put me<br />through<br />I hope you do, I hope you do, yeah, yeah<br /><br />(chorus 2)I hope your hell is filled with magazines<br />And on every page you see a big picture of me<br />And under<br />every picture the caption should read<br />Not bad for a girl<br />from the gutter like me<br /><br />For all the times you said "I<br />got your back"<br />For all the times you stabbed me<br />For all the times you tried to hurt my pride<br />For all the pain I held down deep inside<br />(Chorus 1)Things are<br />lookin' up for me now<br />Seems like Karma's makin' its rounds<br />Its my turn now, won't be held<br />down no<br />Karma's gonna visit you too<br />You gotta pay<br />for the things you put me through<br />I hope you do, I hope you<br />do, yeah, yeah(<br />(Chorus 2)I hope your hell is<br />filled with magazines<br />And on every page you see a big<br />picture of me<br />And under every picture the caption should read<br />Not bad for a girl from the gutter like me<br /><br />Needed to make me weak to help you feel stronger<br />I know y'all bitches think I'm somewhere dyin' inside<br />O yeah poor Kina, she went home<br />She couldn't take it no longer<br />But I'm, right here I'm right here I'm right hereAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30644215.post-12571268685063862982007-01-22T01:55:00.000-04:002007-01-22T01:55:00.000-04:00"Unchained Melody," without a doubt.

It's a bit bouncy, between the speed of a ballad and a more rowdy song.<br /><br />You swear you've had enough<br />You're ready to give up<br />On that little lie they call love<br />Then out of the blue clear sky<br /><br />Fallin' right into your hands<br />Like rain on the desert sand<br />It's the last thing you had planned<br />Out Of The Blue Clear Sky<br /><br />[chorus]<br />Here she comes a walkin' talkin' true love<br />Sayin' I been lookin' for you love<br />Surprise your new love has arrived<br />Out of the blue clear sky<br /><br />Ain't love a funny thing<br />One day you're givin' up the dream<br />And the next you're pickin' out a ring<br />Out of then blue clear sky<br /><br />[chorus]<br /><br />Here she comes a walkin' talkin' true love<br />Sayin' I been lookin' for you love<br />Surprise your new love has arrived<br />Out of the blue clear<br /><br />[chorus]<br /><br />Out of the blue clear skySarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30644215.post-89173530741622511032007-01-21T16:35:00.001-04:002007-01-21T16:35:00.001-04:00Can't think of the lyrics, now, but I love the Pre...Can't think of the lyrics, now, but I love the Pretender's song "I'll Stand by You". It's fantastic, whether as a friend or a lover.<br /><br />As for more classic melodies, "Danny Boy" and "Rose of Tralee" are 2 of my favorites.<br /><br />As for wedding songs, I don't remember the two songs that were sung at my wedding. One was a Kenny Rodgers song that I'd never heard before. I don't recall the other one at all. The guy who was doing our music was a little on the stodgy side, and none of the newer songs that DH & I liked were on this guy's "will sing" list. And, because the parents & grandma were paying for the wedding, we went with the guy that went to the same church where we'd be having the wedding. *sigh* And quite honestly, I couldn't come up with a single older song to suggest, in the 2 months or so of planning that we had for our wedding. I was kinda occupied with being a new mom, and was rather sleep deprived. So, I went with the 2 songs this guy & DH finally settled on. But they mean nothing to me. Unfortunately.<br /><br />DH and I have never had that "This is our song" moment. Unless you consider the Garth Brooks song "Ain't goin' down till the sun comes up", which was somewhat familiar in theme to DH & I when we were dating. *blush*Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312698112377656801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30644215.post-55870093114805721562007-01-21T15:14:00.000-04:002007-01-21T15:14:00.000-04:00This is awesome!

It's not that any of these songs have any associations with me any my husband, but after getting married that Beatle song seemed to become even more meaningful. Oh there's also 'Something' another Beatles' song.<br />Incidentally, my husband's favorite love songs are 'You will never grow old'(a really old song) and 'Living Doll' among others. I like those too:)hillgrandmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805698959846687562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30644215.post-69824056699802639262007-01-21T13:12:00.000-04:002007-01-21T13:12:00.000-04:00I cast my vote for "Lady", by Styx. Oops, my age ...I cast my vote for "Lady", by Styx. Oops, my age is showing...Styx is a 70's rock band. This was one of our favorite songs, when my husband and I were dating in high school. <br /><br /><br />Here is the first verse: <br />Lady, when youre with me Im smiling<br />Give me all your love<br />Your hands build me up when Im sinking<br />Just touch me and my troubles all fade<br />Lady, from the moment I saw you<br />Standing all alone<br />You gave all the love that I needed<br />So shy, like a child who has grown <br /><br />Isn't that so sweet?Love, Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06101542232118228133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30644215.post-9890089425889621722007-01-21T12:31:00.000-04:002007-01-21T12:31:00.000-04:00"Color My World" by the late Terry Kath of Chicago..."Color My World" by the late Terry Kath of Chicago:<br /><br />COLOR MY WORLD (Chicago)<br /><br />As time goes on I realize <br />Just what you mean to me <br />And now, now that you're near <br />Promise your love <br />That I've waited to share <br />And dreams of our moments together <br />Color my world with hope of loving youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30644215.post-26052636745025711532007-01-21T09:31:00.000-04:002007-01-21T09:31:00.000-04:00Sea of Love, The Honeydrippers version.

As soon as I heard it, I knew I wanted it for our wedding dance, since we both had a "love at first sight" moment.<br /><br />Hi!

Love's gonna find you ...<i>Two by two and side by side<br />Love's gonna find you yes it is<br />You just can't hide<br />You'll hear it call<br />Your heart will fall<br />Then love will fly<br />It's gonna soar<br />I don't care for any casanova thing<br />All I can say is</i>...<br /><br />Love Stinks (J. Geils Band) is the song my husband and I have somehow acquired as "our song." We've been married over 30 years and, to be honest, it's a bit of a joke between us, but it also expresses some of the ups and downs of our relationship. You'd have to understand the humor between us to understand why that song.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments about the joys of quitting. Yep, that's the short list. Quitting is hard, really hard. I still can't believe I managed to do it. :)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289588003614654111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30644215.post-36969587944851838112007-01-20T23:11:00.000-04:002007-01-20T23:11:00.000-04:00I could have sworn I don't like country music, but...I could have sworn I don't like country music, but the when I Googled "find lyrics to", I came up with the cowboy lyrics site.<br />Although I won't admit to being a country music fan, I do have a weakness for cowboys.<br />I'll attribute this one to the fact that I was in love with Kris Kristofferson when i fell in love with my husband.<br /><br />Artist/Band: Kristofferson Kris<br />Lyrics for Song: Loving Her Was Easier<br />Lyrics for Album: Essential Kris Kristofferson<br />(Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again)<br /><br />I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountains in the skies.<br />Achin' with the feelin' of the freedom of an eagle when she flies.<br />Turnin' on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying.<br />Healin' as the colours in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes.<br /><br /><br />Wakin' in the mornin' to the feelin' of her fingers on my skin.<br />Wipin' out the traces of the people and the places that I've been.<br />Teachin' me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying.<br />Talkin' of tomorrow and the money, love and time we had to spend.<br /><br />Lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again.<br /><br />Comin' close together with a feelin' that I've never known before, in my time.<br />She ain't ashamed to be a woman, or afraid to be a friend.<br />I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mind.<br />But dreamin' was as easy as believin' it was never gonna end.<br /><br />And lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again.Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182373929424387249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30644215.post-59711698511638813112007-01-20T21:42:00.000-04:002007-01-20T21:42:00.000-04:00My husband and I still think of this as our song.
