Wedding Music

“Strangers In The Night” with the music written by Ivo Robić, arranged by Bert Kaempfert and lyrics by Charles Singleton and Eddie Snyderand was first released and made famous by Frank Sinatra in 1966. Cake covered the song and it first appeared on the Stubbs the Zombie Soundtrack in 2005 and later, on Cake’s B-Sides and Rarities Album.

It is a great cover with Cake giving it a refreshing modern lift. This song would be suitable at a wedding as guest arrival music, pre-dinner drink music, dinner music and of course the obvious…..the Cake cutting!

Strangers In the Night

Strangers in the night
Exchanging glances
Wondering in the night
What were the chances
We’d be sharing love
Before the night was through

Something in your eyes
Was so inviting
Something in your smile
Was so exciting,
Something in my heart
Told me I must have you

Strangers in the night
Two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment When we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away and

Ever since that night
We’ve been together
Lovers at first sight
In love forever
It turned out so right
For strangers in the night

Ever since that night
We’ve been together
Lovers at first sight
In love forever
It turned out so right
For strangers in the night

“Someone to Watch Over Me” is a song composed by George Gershwin with lyrics by Ira Gershwin from the 1926 musical ‘Oh, Kay!’. Popularised by Frank Sinatra in 1946, the song was recorded by Amy and appears on the Deluxe Edition of her album “Frank”.

This is a great cover of an amazing standard and makes for a splendid choice for either the Father/Daughter or Mother/Son dance.

Someone To Watch Over Me

There’s a saying old
Says that love is blind
Still we’re often told
“Seek and ye shall find”
So I’m going to seek
A certain lad I’ve had in mind

Looking everywhere
Haven’t found him yet
He’s the big affair
I cannot forget
Only man I ever think
Of with regret

I’d like
To add his initial
To my monogram
Tell me
Where is the shepherd
For this lost lamb?

There’s a somebody
I’m longin’ to see
I hope that he turns
Out to be
Someone to watch over me

I’m a little lamb
Who’s lost in the wood
I know I could
Always be good
To one
Who’ll watch over me

Although he may
Not be the man some
Girls think
Of as handsome
To my heart
He carries the key

Won’t you tell him please
To put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

Won’t you tell him please
To put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me

This cover is just so angelic and beautiful. “Sea of Love” (written by John Phillip Baptiste and George Khoury), has been covered many times. The Cat Power version was originally recorded in 2000 for their album, “The Covers Record” but became very popular once it appeared in the Juno movie in 2007.

Such a simple, beautiful, heart melting version. Perfect for a First Dance.

Sea Of Love

Come with me
My love
To the sea
The sea of love

I wanna tell you
How much
I love you

Do you remember
When we met
That’s the day
I knew you were my pet

I wanna tell you
How much
I love you

Come with me
My love
To the sea
The sea of love

I wanna tell you
How much
I love you
