The Wedding Edit: Best First Dance Songs
The first dance is one of the most special moments in any wedding––a moment, for just a brief few minutes, where time stands still, and you’re in the hands of the person you love, surrounded by a room full of love. Here's a round up of some tunes that make us swoon, that we think would make you swoon a little, too.
1. Just The Two of Us by Grover Washington
“Just the two of us, We can make it if we try
Just the two of us, Building castles in the sky”
2. The Way You Look Tonight by Frank Sinatra
“There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight”
3. Horses by Daryl Braithwaite
“You will grow and until you go
I’ll be right there by your side”
4. I’ll Be by Edwin McCaine
“And I’ll be your cryin’ shoulder
I’ll be love’s suicide
And I’ll be better when I’m older
I’ll be the greatest fan of your life”
5. Called To Say I Love You by Stevie Wonder
“I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart”
6. Latch by Sam Smith (Acoustic)
“You lift my heart up
When the rest of me is down
You, you enchant me, even when you’re not around
If there are boundaries, I will try to knock them down
I’m latching on babe
Now I know what I have found”
7. How Deep is Your Love by The Bird and The Bee
“I want you to breathe me in
Let me be your air
Let me roam your body freely
No inhibition, no fear”
8. The Only Exception by Paramore
“And that was the day that I promised
I’d never sing of love if it does not exist
But darling, you are the only exception
You are the only exception”
9. Grow Old With Me by Tom Odell
“Grow old with me
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I”
10. Your Song by Elton John
“And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world”
11. Chasing Cars by Snow Petrol
“If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?”
12. You’re The Sunshine of my Life by Stevie Wonder
“I feel like this is the beginning
Though I’ve loved you for a million years
And if I thought our love was ending
I’d find myself drowning in my own tears”
13. (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life by Bill Medley
“Now I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
And I owe it all to you”
14. I Live My Life For You by Firehouse
“I’ve built my world around you
And I want you to know
I need you like I’ve never needed anyone before
I live my life for you
I wanna be by your side,
In everything that you do
And if there’s only one thing you can believe is true”
