How can I not Love you? (Love Theme from Anna and Her King) (Wife came down the aisle to this song at our wedding).
"Love is the space between being lost and being lost forever." ~ Tom Rapp
"Love is friendship set to music." -Unknown
I love this topic!!!! I could list thousands of these that I love!!!
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. - Lao Tzu
When we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them, and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness -- and call it love -- true love. - Robert Fulghum
She walks in Beauty, like the night
Of cloudness climes, and starry skies
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes
~Lord Byron

If you're not
In it for love
If you're not
Willin' to give it all you got
If you're not in it for life
If you're not in it for love
Let me make it clear
To you my dear
If you're not in it for love
I'm outta here!

I just found this among some 18 poems I have written to my wife over the years we've been married, (hmm.. haven't written one in a while, perhaps it is time for more). **This piece may not be copied or reproduced under any circumstances without express written consent from myself**
In the days of old, the beasts of magic lived,
Among them lived a Unicorn with naught but love to give,
She wandered through the trees without a care and free,
She wandered toward the caves to see what she could see,
Upon the Dragon she came, startled by his size,
Eat her He did not, much to her surprise,
He looked at her a moment, He smiled of all things,
To her He gave his heart freely and with no strings,
To her He said someday, you shall see my Love,
That you and I are meant to be, it's in the stars above,
The days passed slowly, turning to months and years,
She finds her way to Him to help him dry his tears,
He cried for all the heartbreak, the suffering and pain,
From all the failed connections he made again and again,
Now it was her turn, to share with him her love,
She said Our time has come, as was written in stars above,
She handed him her heart, and said to him It's time,
For I've loved you from day one, and I want you to be mine,
Together they move forward, through this mystery called life,
Who'd ever thought a Dragon and Unicorn could become man and wife?

OK I'm not that sentimental but I think these lyrics about love are the most beautiful I have heard--
They say it's a river, that circles the earth
A beam of light shining to the edge of the universe
It conquers all, it changes everything
They say it's a blessing, they say it's a gift
They say it's a miracle
And I believe that it is
It conquers all, but it's a mystery
Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
And it fades away so easily
In this world we've created
In this place that we live
In the blink of an eye the darkness slips in
Love lights the world
Unites the lovers for eternity
Love breaks the chains
Love aches for everyone of us
Love takes the tears and the pain, and it turns it in-
To the beauty that remains
Look at this place
It was paradise, but now it's dying
I'll pray for love
I'll take my chances that it's not too late
Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
And fades away so easily
Love breaks the chains
Love aches for everyone of us
Love takes the tears and the pain

Haha fabulous! I love that!
PurpleDragon, what a sweet poem. I'm sure your wife would love for you to start writing them again!
Here are a couple of my faves:
"You're not perfect, sport, and let me save you the suspense: this girl you met, she isn't perfect either. The question is whether you're perfect for each other."
-
Good Will Hunting"Every day feels so incomplete until you walk into the room"
-David Gray
A White RoseThe red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.
But I send you a cream white rosebud,
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips.
-John Boyle O'Reilly
Oh sure!! Make me get all sappy!! ;D
I've always thought this was a great love song.
You're my peace of mind in this crazy world.
You're everything I've tried to find, your love is a pearl.
You're my Mona Lisa, you're my rainbow skies,
and my only prayer is that you realize
you'll always be beautiful in my eyes.
The world will turn and the seasons will change,
and all the lessons we will learn will be beautiful and strange.
We'll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs.
And my only prayer is that you realize
you'll always be beautiful in my eyes.
You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
that you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes.
When there are lines upon my face from a lifetime of smiles,
and when the time comes to embrace for one long last while,
we can laugh about how time really flies.
We won't say goodbye 'cause true love never dies.
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes.
You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
that you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes.
The passing years will show that you will always grow
ever more beautiful in my eyes.
Written by Christine McVie
For you, there'll be no more crying,
For you, the sun will be shining,
And I feel that when I'm with you,
It's alright, I know it's right
To you, I'll give the world
To you, I'll never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you,
It's alright, I know it's right.
And the songbirds are singing,
Like they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you,
Like never before.
And I wish you all the love in the world,
But most of all, I wish it from myself.
And the songbirds keep singing,
Like they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you,
Like never before, like never before.
I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

The Darkness
I Believe in a thing called Love
Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel
My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel
Touching you, touching me
touching you, god you're touching me
I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!
I wanna kiss you every minute, every hour, every day
You got me in a spin but everythin' is A.OK!
Touching you, touching me
touching you, god you're touching me
I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh! Guitar!
Touching you, touching me
touching you, god you're touching me
I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!
One of my fav love songs by one of my fav groups...
A bit on the Pop/Anime side but...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T3ZJWs7B60#
i don't care how cheesy this is my favorite two love songs
Look into my eyes - you will see,
What you mean to me.
Search your heart - search your soul,
And when you find me there, you'll search no more.
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for.
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for.
You know it's true,
Everything I do - I do it for you.
Look into your heart - you will find,
There's nothin' there to hide.
Just take me as I am - take my life,
I would give it all - I would sacrifice.
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for.
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more.
Ya know it's true,
Everything I do - I do it for you.
There's no love - like your love.
And no other - could give more love.
There's nowhere - unless you're there.
All the time - all the way.
Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for.
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more,
Yeah, I would fight for you - I'd lie for you.
Walk the wire for you - yeah, I'd die for you.
Ya know it's true.
Everything I do. all, I do it for you.
There she was just a-walkin' down the street, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
She looked good (looked good), she looked fine (looked fine)
She looked good, she looked fine and I nearly lost my mind
Before I knew it she was walkin' next to me, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
Holdin' my hand just as natural as can be, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
We walked on (walked on) to my door (my door)
We walked on to my door, then we kissed a little more
Whoa-oh, I knew we was falling in love
Yes I did, and so I told her all the things I'd been dreamin' of
Now we're together nearly every single day, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
A-we're so happy and that's how we're gonna stay, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
Well I'm hers (I'm hers), she's mine (she's mine)
I'm hers, she's mine, wedding bells are gonna chime
Whoa-oh, I knew we was falling in love
Yes I did, and so I told her all the things I'd been dreamin' of
Now we're together nearly every single day, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
A-we're so happy and that's how we're gonna stay, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
Well I'm hers (I'm hers), she's mine (she's mine)
I'm hers, she's mine, wedding bells are gonna chime
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh yeah
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do, we'll sing it
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do, oh yeah, oh, oh yeah
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
Lady Christina de Pond, I was just going to post "Everything I do (I do it for you)"!
How about "Amazed" By Lonestar:
Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I want to spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you
The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh, it feels like the first time, every time
I want to spend the whole night in your eyes
(Chorus)
Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I want to spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you
Or "I Don't Want To Miss a Thing", but not the Aerosmith version, Mark Chestnutt:
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what youre dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God were together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I dont want to miss a thing
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
I don't want to miss a thing
From John Gorka:
I saw a stranger with your hair
Tried to make her give it back
So I could send it off to you
Maybe Federal Express
'Cause I know you'd miss it
I saw another with your eyes
The flash just turned my head
I went to try them on for size
But they looked the other way
And they wouldn't listen
I heard a stranger with your voice
It took me by surprise
Again I found it wasn't you
Just an angel in disguise
In for a visit
By the way how is my heart
I haven't seen it since you left
I'm almost sure it followed you
Could you sometime send it back
I'll buy the ticket
But you're never hard to find in a crowd
The people around you smiling out loud
Your feet don't touch the ground
No, your feet don't touch the ground
No, your feet don't touch the ground
The song played during our Unity Candle lighting:
"When You Say Nothing At All" ~Alison Krauss
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old mr. webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all.
The song that -would- have played during said lighting, had it been released:
"Bless the Broken Road" ~Rascal Flatts
I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
[Chorus:]
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true
[Chorus]
Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.
I know it's cheesy too but someone once sung this to me in a dream
Kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again.
It's been a long, long time.
Haven't felt like this, my dear
Since I can't remember when.
It's been a long, long time
You'll never know how many dreams
I've dreamed about you.
Or just how empty they all
seemed without you.
So kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again.
It's been a long, long time.
Ah, kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again.
It's been a long time.
Haven't felt like this my dear
Since I can't remember when
It's been a long, long time.
You'll never know how many dreams
I dreamed about you.
Or just how empty they all
seemed without you.
So kiss me once then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again.
It's been a long, long time.
Long, long time.
Love is the ghost haunting your head
Love is the killer you thought
Was your friend
Love is the creature who lives
In the dark
Sneaks up, will stick you
And painfully pick you apart
--Concrete Blonde

Heh. We had the original Kieth Whitley version played as myself and the groomsmen walked to the stage. LOL
My all time favorite love song - You got the silver. Keith Richards makes this grown woman cry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GGz_95jaqU
Well when me and my husband renewed our wedding vows, I played these sweet songs for the girls to walk down. I wore a wedding gown with a train so long that it would not fit in the brideal room and girls are dressed in gowns to match. Mind you this was a large wedding and I had 5 maides and my husband had 5 groomsmen. So when they did this it looked so cool.
my husbnad had the bestman and the groomsmen come into the church to " It`s a great day for a white wedding" they had to come down a through the center of the church, and they were rockin out and doing a little stroll the down through there. They were in full dress tuxs. I love that man is is so cute. It was great eveyone loved it.
sorry it is taking me so long to type this i keep finding type`os so I`am having to keep modifing
I'm loving all these wedding stories! We are going to have We've Only Just Begun played at our wedding - my parents had it played at theirs in 1972. :) I've always loved it because of that.

I wanted the original, myself. My husband, big manly man that he be, said "But her voice is soooo pretty!" and I couldn't deny it. So, I figured I'd let him make one choice, anyway. xD

You could have gotten the "re-mix" which was both of them singing. ;)
I'll add to the wedding stories...my husband and I danced our first dance as husband and wife to "At Last" sung by Etta James...
At last, my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Oh, yeah, at last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clovers
The night I looked at you
I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to rest my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Oh, yeah when you smile, you smile
Oh, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine
At last
And since I'm a musical theatre fan...from Andrew Lloyd Webber...
"Love, love changes everything. Hands and faces, earth and sky. Love, love changes everything how you live and how you die. Love can make the summers fly or a night seem like a lifetime. Yes, love, love changes everything. Now I tremble at your name. Nothing in the world will ever be the same."
My Self I am going if/when down the Aisle to this,.... By Peter Gabriel on the Shall we Dance soundtrack
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7EI4kBr7BY&feature=related
"The Book Of Love"
The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing
But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything
The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb
But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything
The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know
But I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
You ought to give me wedding rings
Im gonna go the opposite route here, sorry, its what I do
The fear of a cold and empty bed
The fear of a sleepless night
The fear of an unmended heart
The fear of dying alone...
This is what makes us love,
This is what makes us believe.
-Me!

You played Billy Idol's "White Wedding"? That is awesome!
Brehonic Wedding Vows
You cannot possess me for I belong to myself
But while we both wish it, I give you that which is mine to give
You cannot command me for I am a free person
But I shall serve you in those ways you require
And the honeycomb will taste sweeter coming from my hand
I pledge to you that yours will be the name I cry aloud in the night
And the eyes into which I smile in the morning
I pledge to you the first bite from my meat
And the first drink from my cup
I pledge to you my living and my dying, equally in your care
And tell no strangers our grievances
This is my wedding vow to you
This is a marriage of equals
From Finn McCool, by Morgan Llewelyn.

Finally found it :D
Love is Enough
by William Morris
Love is enough: though the World be a-waning,
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining,
Though the skies be too dark for dim eyes to discover
The gold-cups and daisies fair blooming thereunder,
Though the hills be held shadows, and the sea a dark wonder,
And this day draw a veil over all deeds pass'd over,
Yet their hands shall not tremble, their feet shall not falter:
The void shall not weary, the fear shall not alter
These lips and these eyes of the loved and the lover.

Double post, but I think it can be forgiven since there's a year and a half between the two, eh? ;) Saw someone re-reading this thread in "Who's Online", and it reminded me of how much I enjoyed it... I thought this fit the topic...
Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, that's her...

very nice lass.
I thought so, to... :)
.... and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

I came back to this thread because it was calling to me.
I was in charge of a Cursillo weekend for the Diocese of Chicago a year ago. It is a spiritual weekend, but it is like summer camp for grownups. No somber, quiet retreats. It's 4 days of singing, laughing, having the best time of your life. My theme was "All You Need is Love" and was based on this:
For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
And that's my favorite quote about love.
This was our first dance at our wedding back in August.
From the Motion Picture "Enchanted"
So Close - by Jon McLaughlin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHnZ_vtyJ6E
You're in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive
A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I want is to hold you
So close
So close to reaching that famous happy ending
Almost believing this one's not pretend
And now you're beside me and look how far we've come
So far we are so close
How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We're so close
To reaching that famous happy ending
Almost believing this one's not pretend
Let's go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far
some friends of mine played this as the first song at their wedding but when ever Pc shows up it's the song i'm walking down the aisle to
If you wait for me
If you wait for me
Then I'll come for you
Although I've travelled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart
If you think of me
If you miss me
Once in a while
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart
Remembering your touch
Your kiss, your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you be waiting
If you dream of me
Like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart
Remembering your touch
Your kiss, your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you be waiting
Oh I've longed for you
And I have desire
To see your face, your smile
To be with you wherever you are
Remembering your touch
Your kiss, your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
Please say you'll be waiting
Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise
If its one that you can keep
I vow to come for you
If you wait for me
And Say you hold
A place for me
In your heart
A place for me in your heart
A place for me in your heart
A place for me in your heart
