Never Say by Fisher:


Don't fly into the sun


your wings will melt and you'll come down


I say you never know until you try


away I go to the sun


I'm waving to the ground


I'll see you later





I will go - I will try


anything one time and I


never say never - why should I?


I will try - and I will go


anywhere - never say


Never say never ask why





Who knows tomorrow may never come





I can't conceive the day


I fear the unknown - not me


I dream of open windows





And if you never fly your wings are useless





I will go - I will try


anything one time and I


never say never - why should I?


I will fly - and I will go


anywhere - never say


Never say never ask why





Who knows tomorrow may never come

This One's For The Girls


______________________________


This is for all you girls about thirteen


High school can be so rough, can be so mean


Hold onto, onto your innocense


Stand your ground when everybody's giving in





This one's for the girls





This is for all you girls about twenty-five


In little apartments just trying to get by


Living on, on dreams and Spaghetti-Os


Wondering where your life is gonna go





(Chorus:)


This one's for the girls


Who've ever had a broken heart


Who've wished upon a shooting star


You're beautiful the way you are


This one's for the girls


Who love without holding back


Who dream with everything they have


All around the world


This one's for the girls





This is for all you girls about forty-two


Tossing pennies into the fountain of youth


Every laugh, laugh line on your face


Made you who you are today





(Chorus)





Yeah we're all the same inside


From one to ninety-nine





(Chorus)

Reply:Try listening to a few Natalie Merchant/10,000 Maniacs songs, or reading the lyrics. Many of these songs would be suitable, I think.





The song "These Are the Days" by Merchant's 10,000 Maniacs is used at high school graduations all over the country, but the singer herself is actually in her 40s.





Good Luck!
Reply:kelly clarkson- break away because it depicts a story of someone life.


or perhaps mary j. bliges- take me as i am because it depicts someone over coming the pressures of life. lyrics can be found at http://www.lyrics. astraweb.com


or just think of anyone who is well known for love songs used for weddings.
