so yeah - I gotta get the ceremony details nailed down like NOW. (I mentioned I'm a procrastinator right?)
Anyway - I want to include a reading. Instead of a poem or verse I want song lyrics. BUT. I'm torn between a couple of songs.
1. The Jayhawks "I'm going to make you love me" (also in consideration for our first dance)
The world never ends
It’s only the beginning
And we can't pretend
To discover it’s meaning
We talked for hours at a time
Then I came to my senses
You’re more than a friend
You’re my perfect lover
I'll never be all you want me to
But that's all right
I'm gonna make you love me
I'm gonna dry your tears
And we're gonna stay together
For a million years
It’s the least I can do
Just to make you my baby
No words could describe
Oh, pinch me I'm dreaming
Your hair's long and black
As it lays 'cross my pillow
When I stare in your eyes
I get lost in your glory
I'll never be all you want me to
But that's all right
I'm gonna make you love me
I'm gonna dry your tears
And we're gonna stay together
For a million years
When you were a little girl
Your great big world came tumbling down
So sad
Yeah, the river it bends
But it flows to the ocean
And baby here I am
I'm your sea of devotion
I'll never be all you want me to
But that's all right
I'm gonna make you love me
I'm gonna dry your tears
And we're gonna stay together
For a million years....
OR
2. Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers "Maybe we should fall in Love": (going to use as our recessional)
All our might
can't change it at all
Speed of light is
slowing down to a crawl
And now we find that we'll take flight
only when we fall
Maybe we should fall in Love
The verse and the chorus
The birds and the bees
May smite or ignore us
despite our pleas
What is this terrible thing
brings us towering to our knees?
Maybe we should fall in Love
No you
No me
Baby only we
Melt like sugar
Into black coffee
Our race is run
Our chase is done
No longer may we flee
Maybe we should fall in Love
So it's official now
There's nothing we can do
Now you're a part of me
and I'm a part of you
And we can see how one and one makes more than two
Maybe we should fall in Love
