Does it have to be song lyrics? There are many good readings for weddings.





This is one by Kate Fisher





When thoughts take wing a wedding ring encircles all our dreams


And love abounds above, around, enriching all our schemes


We plan together all our life to make our dreams come true


When love is there a smile, a prayer, a hug, a kiss will do


And then together hand in hand we go with love we've won


And you will see, the you and me that once were two -- are one
Reply:Northern Sky By Nick Drake is Beautiful





never felt magic crazy as this


I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea


I never held emotion in the palm of my hand


Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree


But now you're here


Brighten my northern sky.





I've been a long time that I'm waiting


Been a long that I'm blown


I've been a long time that I've wandered


Through the people I have known


Oh, if you would and you could


Straighten my new mind's eye.





Would you love me for my money


Would you love me for my head


Would you love me through the winter


Would you love me 'til I'm dead


Oh, if you would and you could


Come blow your horn on high.





OR... NOT FIRE NOT ICE BY BEN HARPER





there is not a river wide


not a mountain high


and neither sin nor evil


could change how i feel inside





not all the strength of the ocean


not all the heat from the sun


(from the sun)


though others ive tried i just cant deny


for me you are the one





but true love is priceless


for true love we pay the price


but theres nothing can keep me from lovin you


not fire no not ice





like a hero or a champion


you are the best (your the best)


like religion or superstition


with you i am blessed





now the river may grow wider


the mountains may reach past the sky


and whether or not you feel the same


my love shall never die

THE GREATEST REWARD-CELINE DION


So suddenly, so strange


Life wakes you up, things change


I've done my best, I've served my call


I thought I had it all


So suddenly, so strong


My prejudice was gone


You needed me, I found my place


I'm there for now, these days





Now the greatest reward


Is the light in your eyes


The sound of your voice


And the touch of your hand


You made me who I am





You trusted me to grow


I gave my heart to show


There's nothing else I cherrish more


I stand by you for sure





Now the greatest reward


Is the love that I can give


I'm here for you now


For as long as I live


You made me who I am





So suddenly, it's clear to me


Things change


Our future lies in here and now


We live it through somehow





Now the greatest reward


Is the love that I can give


I'm here for you now


For as long as I live


You made me who I am





You made me who I am





L'AMOUR EXISTE ENCORE (LOVE STILL EXISTS)-


CELINE DION


translation from french





When I fall asleep against your body


Then I do not have any more a doubt


The love still exists





All my years of rout


All, I would give them all


To anchor me to your port





The loneliness which I fear


Who watches for me at the end of my road


I will put it outside





To love you once and for all


To like to you costs that costs


In spite of this evil which runs


And the love puts at death





When I fall asleep against your body


Then I do not have any more a doubt


The love still exists





The love still exists...





One was not same edge


But in the last analysis one of fout


To be right or to be wrong





The world is carried out by the insane ones


My love it is due any only to us


To love us more extremely





Beyond violence


Beyond the insanity


In spite of the bombs which fall


With the four corners of the world





When I fall asleep against your body


Then I do not have any more a doubt


The love still exists


The love still exists


The love still exists...





To love you once and for all


To like to you costs that costs


In spite of this evil which runs


And the love puts at death





When I fall asleep against your body


Then I do not have any more a doubt


The love still exists





BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME-CELINE DION


For all those times you stood by me


For all the truth that you made me see


For all the joy you brought to my life


For all the wrong that you made right


For every dream you made come true


For all the love I found in you


I'll be forever thankful baby


You're the one who held me up


Never let me fall


You're the one who saw me through through it all





You were my strength when I was weak


You were my voice when I couldn't speak


You were my eyes when I couldn't see


You saw the best there was in me


Lifted me up when I couldn't reach


You gave me faith 'cause you believed


I'm everything I am


Because you loved me





You gave me wings and made me fly


You touched my hand I could touch the sky


I lost my faith, you gave it back to me


You said no star was out of reach


You stood by me and I stood tall


I had your love I had it all


I'm grateful for each day you gave me


Maybe I don't know that much


But I know this much is true


I was blessed because I was loved by you





You were my strength when I was weak


You were my voice when I couldn't speak


You were my eyes when I couldn't see


You saw the best there was in me


Lifted me up when I couldn't reach


You gave me faith 'cause you believed


I'm everything I am


Because you loved me





You were always there for me


The tender wind that carried me


A light in the dark shining your love into my life


You've been my inspiration


Through the lies you were the truth


My world is a better place because of you





You were my strength when I was weak


You were my voice when I couldn't speak


You were my eyes when I couldn't see


You saw the best there was in me


Lifted me up when I couldn't reach


You gave me faith 'cause you believed


I'm everything I am


Because you loved me





You were my strength when I was weak


You were my voice when I couldn't speak


You were my eyes when I couldn't see


You saw the best there was in me


Lifted me up when I couldn't reach


You gave me faith 'cause you believed


I'm everything I am


Because you loved me





I'm everything I am


Because you loved me





AT LAST - ROBERTA FLACK OR CELINE DION


At last my love has come along


My lonely days are over


And life is like a song


Ohh yeah yeah


At last


The skies above are blue


My heart was wrapped up in clover


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 press my cheek to


A thrill that I have never known





Ohh yeah yeah





You smile, you smile


Oh and then the spell was cast


And here we are in heaven


For you are mine at last





I found a dream, that I could speak to


A dream that I can call my own


I found a thrill to press my cheek to


A thrill that I have never known





Ohh yeah yeah





You smile, you smile


Oh and then the spell was cast


And here we are in heaven


For you are mine at last





At last... at last





THE FIRST TIME I EVER SAW YOUR FACE-CELINE DION


The first time ever I saw your face


I thought the sun rose in your eyes


And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave


To the dark and the endless skies, my love





And the first time ever I kissed your mouth


I felt the earth move through my hand


Like the trembling heart of a captive bird


That was there at my command, my love





And the first time ever I lay with you


I felt your heart so close to mine





The first time ever I saw your face


Your face, your face


Your face





HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE-CELINE DION


Have you ever been in love





You could touch the moonlight


When your heart is shooting stars


You're holding heaven in your arms


Have you ever been so in love





Have you ever walked on air


Ever felt like you were dreamin'


When you never thought it could


But it really feels that good


Have you ever been so in love





Have you ever been in love


You could touch the moonlight


When your heart is shooting stars


You're holding heaven in your arms


Have you ever been in love


Have you





The time I spent waiting for something


That was heaven sent


When you find it don't let go


I know...





Have you ever said a prayer


And found that it was answered


All my hope has been restored


And I ain't looking anymore


Have you ever been so in love


Have you





Some place that you ain't leavin'


Somewhere you gonna stay


When you finally found the meanin'


Have you ever felt this way





The time I spent waiting for something


That was heaven sent


When you find it don't let go


I know...





'Cause have you ever been in love


So in love





You could touch the moonlight


You can even reach the stars





Doesn't matter near or far


Have you ever been so in love


I said





'Cause have you ever been in love


Have you ever been in love


So in love





IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES-CELINE DION


You're the bravest of hearts, you're the strongest of souls


You're my light in the dark, you're the place I call home


You can say it's all right, but I know that you're breaking up inside


I see it in your eyes


Even you face the night afraid and alone


That's why I'll be there


When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend


Ev'ry beat of my heart, ev'ry day without end


Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make


Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes


If that's what it takes





You can sleep in my arms, you don't have to explain


When your heart's crying out, baby, whisper my name


'Cause I've reached out for you when the thunder is crashing up above


You've given me your love


When your smile like the sun that shines through the pain


That's why I'll be there





When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend


Ev'ry beat of my heart, ev'ry day without end


I will stand like a rock, I will bend till I break


Till there's no more to give, if that's what it takes


I will risk everything, I will fight, I will bleed


I will lay down my life, if that's what you need


Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make


Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes





Through the wind and the rain, through the smoke and the fire


When the fear rises up, when the wave's ever higher


I will lay down my heart, my body, my soul


I will hold on all night and never let go


Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make


Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes





If that's what it takes


Every day


If that's what it takes


Every day





I KNOW WHAT LOVE IS -CELINE DION


I was forgotten


Until you called my name


Lost in the shadows


Until you shined your light my way


Now I believe again


In all my dreams again


I'm wide eyed and innocent


Those doubting days


Are so far away and oh





I will fall


And you will catch me always


Time has taught me this


I will fly


And you'll be there to guide me


Straight up to my hearts highest wish


I feel you close to me


And I know what love is





Now there's no mountain


Too high for me to climb


No ocean so wide


That I could not reach the other side


Now I believe in me


'Cause you live and breath in me


And nothing can come between


We are one star


No night can darken, oh





I will fall


And you will catch me always


Time has taught me this


I will fly


And you'll be there to guide me


Straight up to my hearts highest wish


I feel you close to me


And I know what love is





It's an unspoken thing


A quiet opening


There's no words that can go that deep


But I know


I know





I will fall


And you will catch me always


Time has taught me this


I will fly


And you'll be there to guide me


Straight up to my hearts highest wish


I feel you close to me


And I know what love is

THE REASON-CELINE DION


I figured it out


I was high and low and everything in between


I was wicked and wild, baby, you know what I mean


Till there was you, yeah, you





Something went wrong


I made a deal with the devil for an empty I.O.U.


Been to hell and back, but an angel was looking through


It was you, yeah, you


It's all because of you





You are the reason


You are the reason I wake up every day


And sleep through the night


You are the reason, the reason


In the middle of the night


I'm going down 'cause I adore you


I want to floor you





I'm giving it up


No more running around spinning my wheel


You came out of my dream and made it real


I know what I feel


It's you


It's all because of you





You are the reason


You are the reason I wake up every day


And sleep through the night


You are the reason, the reason


In the middle of the night


I'm going down 'cause I want you


I want to touch you


I want to floor you


You are the reason, baby





You are the reason


You are the reason I wake up every day


And sleep through the night


You are the reason, the reason





SEDUCES ME -CELINE DION


Everything you are


Everything you'll be


Touches the current of love


So deep in me


Every sigh in the night


Every tear that you cry


Seduces me


All that I am


All that I'll be


Means nothing at all


If you can't be with me


Your most innocent kiss


Or your sweetest caress


Seduces me





I don't care about tomorrow


I've given up on yesterday


Here and now is all that matters


Right here with you is where I'll stay





Everything in this world


Every voice in the night


Every little thing of beauty


Comes shining thru in your eyes


And all that is you becomes part of me too


'Cause all you do seduces me





And if I should die tomorrow


I'd go down with a smile on my face


I thank God I've ever known you


I fall down on my knees


For all the love we've made





Every sigh in the night


Every tear that you cry


Seduces me seduces me


All that you do... Seduces me





WHEN I NEED YOU-CELINE DION


When I need you


I just close my eyes and I'm with you


And all that I so want to give you


It's only a heart beat away





When I need love


I hold out my hands and I touch love


I never knew there was so much love


Keeping me warm night and day





Miles and miles of empty space in between us


A telephone can't take the place of your smile


But you know I wont be traveling for ever


It's cold out, but hold out and do like I do





When I need you


I just close my eyes and I'm with you


And all that I so want to give you babe


It's only a heartbeat away





It's not easy when the road is your driver


Honey, that's a heavy load that we bear


But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime


It's cold out but hold out and do like I do


Oh I need you





When I need love


I hold out my hands and I touch love


I never knew there was so much love


Keeping me warm night and day





When I need you


I just close my eyes and I'm with you


And all that I so want to give you


It's only a heart beat away





WHEN I FALL IN LOVE- CELINE DION AND CLIVE GRIFFIIN


When I fall in love


It will be forever


Or I'll never fall in love


In a restless world


Like this is


Love is ended before it's begun


And too many


Moonlight kisses


Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun





When I give my heart


It will be completely


Or I'll never give my heart





And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too


Is when I fall in love with you








WHERE IS THE LOVE-CELINE DION


If ever a boy stood on the moon


All the heavens would call them angels 'round


Stop the tears from troubled sky's from


Falling, falling, falling





If ever the river could whisper your name


Would the choices you made still be the same?


Like a flower that dies from angry rain


Why do we hurt ourselves?





Where is the love that lets the sunlight in to start again?


The love that sees no color lines?


Life begins with love


So spread your wings and fly


Guide your spirit safe and sheltered


A thousand dreams that we can still believe





If ever a boy stood on the moon


Carrying all of his treasures from the stars


To a rainbow which leads to where we are


Together we'd chase the sun





Where is the love that lifts my brother's voice to the skies?


The love that answers a mother's cry?


Life begins with love


So spread your wings %26amp; fly


Guide your spirit safe %26amp; sheltered


A thousand dreams that we can still believe





A boy stood on the moon


The ancient souls can still discover


A thousand dreams that we can still believe


That we can still believe


We can still believe


We can still believe





SPIRITUAL- FINGERPRINTS OF GOD- STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN


I can see the tears filling Your eyes


And I know where they're coming from


They're coming from a heart that's broken in two


By what you don't see


The person in the mirror


Doesn't look like the magazine


Oh, but when I look at you it's clear to me that...





I can see the fingerprints of God


When I look at you


I can see the fingerprints of God


And I know it's true


You're a masterpiece


That all creation quietly applauds


And you're covered with the fingerprints of God





Never has there been and never again


Will there be another you


Fashioned by God's hand


And perfectly planned


To be just who you are


And what He's been creating


Since the first beat of your heart


Is a living breathing priceless work of art and...





Just look at you


You're a wonder in the making


Oh, and God's not through, no


In fact, He's just getting started and…





SPIRITUAL- NO REFERENCE THOUGH TO GOD- FOREVER-PLUS ONE


I lost you in the darkness


When I fell from the light


I held on to the world too tight


I thought I'd never find you


Thought I'd be alone


But you took my hand and


led me home





[Channel:]


Now I know


I know that


You'll always be


Where I go





[Chorus:]


Forever is a long time


To be without you in my life


I wanna keep you by my side


'Cuz forever is a long time





You have faith when I'm faithless


Strength when I don't


You believe in me even when I won't


You are patient, you are true


Your love is what gets me through





I DON'T KNOW MUCH- AARON NEVILLE AND LINDA RONSTANDT


Look at this face I know the years are showing


Look at this life I still don't know where it's going


I don't much but I know I love you


That may be Dont Know Much to know





Look at these eyes they never seen what matters


Look at these dreams so beaten and so battered


I don't much but I know I love you


That may be Dont Know Much to know





So many questions still left unanswered


So much I've never broken through


And when I feel you near me sometimes I see so clearly


That only truth I'll never know is me and you





Look at this man so blessed with inspiration


Look at this soul still searching for salvation


I don't much but I know I love you


That may be Dont Know Much to know





I don't much but I know I love you


That may be Dont Know Much to know


I don't much but I know I love you


That may be all there is to know





I'VE FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE- BRYAN ADAMS AND BARBARA STREISAND


I finally found someone


Who knocks me off my feet


I finally found the one


Who makes me feel complete





It started over coffee


We started off as friends


It's funny how from simple things


The best things begin





This time it's different,


It's all because of you


It's better than it's ever been


Cause we can talk it through





My favorite line was


'Can I call you sometime'


Its all u had to say


To take my breath away








This is it


Oh I finally found someone


Someone to share my life


I finally found the one


to be with every night


Cuz whatever I do


It's just got to be you


My life has just begun


I finally found someone


Oooh someone


I finally found somone








Did I keep u waiting? (I didnt mind)


I apologize (baby that's fine)


I will wait forever


Just to know you were mine


(Ooh) You know I love your hair


( Sure it looks right?)


I love what you wear


(Isn't it too tight?)


You're exceptional


I can't wait for the rest of my life





This is it


Oh I finally found someone


Someone to share my life


I finally found the one


To be with every night


Cuz whatever I do


It's just got to be you





Ohh my life has just begun


I've finally found someone


And whatever I do


It's just got to be you


Ohh my life has just begun


I've finally found someone...

I CARRY YOUR HEART- E.E. CUMMINGS


i carry your heart with me(i carry it in


my heart)i am never without it(anywhere


i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done


by only me is your doing,my darling)


i fear


no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want


no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)


and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant


and whatever a sun will always sing is you





here is the deepest secret nobody knows


(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud


and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows


higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)


and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart





i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)





good luck again :) i think you can tell that i'm the sappy love type person ha,ha.





i just though of everything i do i do it for you- bryan adams. lyrics are on the internet i'm runnin out of time. good good good song.
Reply:"The Prayer" (minus the Italian.)





http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/T...





I pray you’ll be our eyes,


and watch us where we go


And help us to be wise,


in times when we don’t know





Let this be our prayer,


when we lose our way


Lead us to a place,


guide us with your grace


To a place where we’ll be safe.





I pray we’ll find your light


And hold it in our hearts


When stars go out each night


Let this be our prayer


When shadows fill our day





Lead us to a place


Guide us with your grace


Give us faith so we’ll be safe





We ask that life be kind


And watch us from above


We hope each soul will find


Another soul to love

Grow old along with me


Whatever fate decrees


We will see it through


For our love is true


God bless our love


God bless our love





Sharing our lives together


Man and wife together


World without end...





Something like that
Reply:this is a poem that i came across the other day and it might be some help to you:





My Wedding Day





I'm giving you my heart


We're together now till death do us part


I made a vow today to have you in my life


And you promised to take me as your wife


I'll love you forever and for always


And I will cherish you all of my days





We stood today in front of a crowd


Looking on us as we said our vows


"You may kiss the bride"


Were the words that made our hearts unite





I'm proud to take your last name


I promise I will not put it to shame


I've waited my whole life for you


And I trust in God to guide us through





I saved myself for this very day


And now in your hand my heart I lay


For I knew right a away you're love was true


When I heard you say the words "I Do"
