Lyrically Speaking 2022 - Day 15
July 15, 2022

Wedding Songs


Below is a list of some of the most popular songs played at weddings. None of these are novelty songs like "Hokey Pokey" or "The Bride Cuts the Cake". These are songs that the bride and groom chose for the first dance or perhaps the father/bride or mother/groom dance.

Hey, it's getting late in the game...and I'm getting old...er.

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist (bonus points below)


1. I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweet

2. A hundred and five is the number that comes to my head
When I think of all the years I wanna be with you
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
That's precisely what I plan to do

3. It might seem crazy what I am 'bout to say
Sunshine, she's here, you can take a break
I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don't care, baby by the way

4. I, I'm I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you

5. And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing
You're every line, you're every word

6. Like a fool, I went and stayed too long
Now, I'm wondering if your love's still strong
Ooh baby, here I am

7. Hey, where did we go?
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playin' a new game
Laughin' and a-runnin', hey, hey

8. I've got so much honey
The bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees
Well, I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way

9. And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing

10. Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

11. 'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow
Your heart is all I own
And in your eyes, you're holding mine

12. Bitter-sweet memories
That's all I'm taking with me
Good-bye, please don't cry
'Cause we both know that I'm not
What you need

I'd never heard it or heard of it. I just played it. Nice song. Sounds like something my 3rd daughter would have on her play list. She's my last unwed child, so we'll see.

I'm sorry ( but not really) to report that I'm about ready to get on a cruise ship for a week, and so won't be able to play at all. I tried playing this one from the airport, but trying to do it on my phone is too annoying. Vandal, thanks so much for putting this together, and Frank, thanks for posting about it on EFB.

Why aren't there any divorce songs?
1. I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweet

2. A hundred and five is the number that comes to my head
When I think of all the years I wanna be with you
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
That's precisely what I plan to do

3. It might seem crazy what I am 'bout to say
Sunshine, she's here, you can take a break
I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don't care, baby by the way

4. I, I'm I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you

5. And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing
You're every line, you're every word

6. Like a fool, I went and stayed too long
Now, I'm wondering if your love's still strong
Ooh baby, here I am

7. Hey, where did we go?
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playin' a new game
Laughin' and a-runnin', hey, hey

8. I've got so much honey
The bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees
Well, I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way

9. And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing

10. Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Falling in Love with You, Elvis Presley

11. 'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow
Your heart is all I own
And in your eyes, you're holding mine

12. Bitter-sweet memories
That's all I'm taking with me
Good-bye, please don't cry
'Cause we both know that I'm not
What you need

Wedding Songs


Below is a list of some of the most popular songs played at weddings. None of these are novelty songs like "Hokey Pokey" or "The Bride Cuts the Cake". These are songs that the bride and groom chose for the first dance or perhaps the father/bride or mother/groom dance.

Hey, it's getting late in the game...and I'm getting old...er.

My mistake for overvaluing this song. I hear it all the time on one of the yacht rock stations nearby, but it appears to be not so popular with this crowd. Only skoop got it right. Only she and esto (singer only) knew the lyrics. My hint was useless, too.
