Wedding Songs

Boyce Avenue are three brothers from Florida in the USA and release both originals and cover versions of popular songs. Their acoustic cover of the Chris Brown song “Forever” makes it just perfect for a first dance or as background music during pre-dinner drinks or the reception.

Forever

It’s you
And me
Moving at the speed of light into eternity
Tonight
Is the night
To join me in the middle of ecstasy
Feel the melody and the rhythm of the music around you
Around you
Imma take you there
Imma take you there
So don’t be scared, I’m right here
We can go anywhere, go anywhere
But first
It’s your chance, take my hand

It’s like I waited my whole life
For this one night
It’s gonna be me, you, and the dance floor
Cause we only got one night
Double your pleasure
Double your fun
And dance forever (ever ever)
And forever (ever ever)
And forever (ever ever)
Forever on the dance floor

Feels like we’re on another level
Feels like our love’s intertwined
We can be two rebels
Breaking the rules
Me and you, you and I
All you gotta do is watch me
Look what I can do with my feet
Baby, feel the beat inside
I’m driving you take the front seat
I just need you to trust me
girl, girl, girl

(It’s like I)
It’s like I waited my whole life
For this one night
Its gonna be me, you, and the dance floor
Cause we only got one night
Double your pleasure
Double your fun
And dance forever (ever ever)
And forever (ever ever)
And forever (ever ever)
Forever on the dance floor

I waited my whole life (whole life)
For this one night (one night)
Its gonna be me, you, and the dance floor (dance floor)
Cause we only got one night
Double your pleasure
Double your fun
Dance with me Cmon

Imma take you there
Imma take you there
So don’t be scared, I’m right here
We can go anywhere, go anywhere
But first
It’s your chance, take my hand

It’s like I waited my whole life
For this one night
Its gonna be me, you, and the dance floor
Cause we only got one night
Double your pleasure
Double your fun
And dance forever (ever ever)
Forever (ever ever)
And forever (ever ever)

Forever (ever ever)
And Forever (ever ever)
Forever
Forever on the dance floor

This is a beautiful song by Bruno Mars and featuring Phillip Lawrence that appeared on a mixtape by DJ Xfactor entitled, The Lost Planet. From what I can ascertain, this was unauthorised by Bruno Mars and the song is not legally available anywhere for purchase. The Sound Cloud audio below is one of many that have been posted by fans on the Bruno Mars Official Website.

It would be a perfect song for a wedding, including, the register signing, cake cutting or first dance. I have included it in this series of posts even though it is not legally available, in the hope that enough interest will be generated, that whoever owns the rights to the song will eventually release it.

Rest Of My Life

Every day I wake up next to an angel
More beautiful than words could say
They said it wouldn’t work but what did they know?
Cause years passed and we’re still here today
Never in my dreams did I think that this would happen to me

As I stand here before my woman
I can’t fight back the tears in my eyes
Oh how could I be so lucky
I must’ve done something right
And I promise to love her for the rest of my life

Seems like yesterday when she first said hello
Funny how time flies by when you’re in love
It took us a lifetime to find each other
It was worth the wait cause I finally found the one
Never in my dreams did I think that this would happen to me

As I stand here before my woman
I can’t fight back the tears in my eyes
Oh how could I be so lucky
I must’ve done something right
And I promise to love her for the rest of my life

The father daughter dance, whilst not a mandatory dance at every wedding, is such a sweet and special tradition that acknowledges the special relationship between a father (or some father figure like a grandfather, step-father, uncle or family friend) and daughter and can be a very precious moment. Of course, whether you choose to have this dance at your wedding, or not, is entirely up to you and/or your personal circumstances.

Should you decide that you wish to honour your father in this manner; the question of the right father daughter dance song selection comes up. Some fathers and daughters have a perfect song that means something to them or represents their relationship, and the song choice is easy.

If you don’t already have a song in mind for your father daughter dance, here is a list of some that are often used because they fit the occasion so well and some that are not used quite so often. Some of the songs are sentimental and sweet, some are upbeat and fun but all of them can be related to a father-daughter relationship, or to the sentiments of your wedding day, between a father and daughter.  Enjoy!
