Love songs are a fundamental part of the wedding service. The slower tempo love songs are played for when the first dance is performed by the bride and groom.
If you have a love song that means something to you this should be the song played here. Most couples will have a song that they class as their song and every time they hear it they will be taken back to the first time they heard it and why the song means so much. But what if your song is not really appropriate for whatever reason? This is when you need to do some research and find a love song that has words that you both can relate to.
Below are 5 of the most powerful and classic Love songs which you cant go wrong with. Each song has lovely lyrics that will melt her heart.
1.The Power of Love by Celine Dion
Lyrics include:
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake
Cause I’m your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I’ll do all that I can
We’re heading for something
Somewhere I’ve never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I’m ready to learn
Of the power of love
2. The Way You Look Tonight by Tony Bennit
Lyrics include:
Someday when I’m awfully low
When the world is cold
I feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.
Oh, but you’re lovely with your smile so warm
And your cheek so soft
There is nothing for me to love you
And the way you look tonight
3. Can You Feel the Love Tonight by Elton John
Lyrics include:
There’s a calm surrender to the rush of day
When the heat of a rolling wind can be turned away
An enchanted moment, and it sees me through
It’s enough for this restless warrior just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight
It is where we are
It’s enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it’s laid to rest
It’s enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
4. I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You by Elvis
Lyrics include:
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can’t help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can’t help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can’t help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can’t help falling in love with you
For I can’t help falling in love with you
5.When I Fall in Love by Nat King Cole
When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I’ll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it’s begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I’ll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.
These are just 5 of the most classic love songs played at weddings. There are literally hundreds to choose from and what you chose should be personal to you. A lot of couples are now turning the first dance into a fully blown dance routine which they have practiced. You can start with a slow love song like one of the above, and then after the first chorus you can get your DJ to change the song to a dance track which you dance together. Other wedding members who are in on the act can be a part of it and join in. Rehearsal is key here and the changing of the song. Many DJs just play a scratchy sound so it sounds like the songs crashed, and then all of a sudden the dance track comes on and the bride and groom and others involved step up to the beat. This is really hilarious especially it a well hidden secret; you only have to look at videos online to see how other couples did this and the reaction it caused. It also takes the pressure away from the first dance.
