Best Love Songs (and "your" songs)

Another favorite I heard on the way home.

She's Always a Woman - Billy Joel

That reminds me of another song of ours that is wildly inappropriate for a lasting marriage: Scenes From An Italian Restaurant by Billy Joel.

I still remember it exactly. One of our first dates was to the NC State Fair in October of 1988. Afterward we were driving home in her ugly, beat up little car. The windows were down with the cool air rushing in. And I recall looking over at her, her face lit only by the soft light coming from the dashboard lights, and thinking, "I'm falling in love with this girl."

And then, "That somehow makes me feel better about the relentless pursuit of sex that I'll be making for the balance of our relationship."

*sigh* Young love.

*sigh* Young love.

Young love (young love), first love (first love)
Filled with true devotion
Young love (young love), our love (our love)
We share with deep emotion

It's funny talking to other couples about silly stuff and hearing "Oh we would never do anything like that." It's like "Don't you guys have any fun in your relationship?" And, no, I'm not talking about sex, just in general.

The first song my now wife and I danced to was Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight." The first dance at our wedding was Marc Cohn's "True Companion."

Quoted for truth. I say some pretty indelicate things (my previous post above is a good example) and I've had folks cringe and say, "I can't believe you would talk about your wife that way!" Bah! She's as depraved and funny an individual as you'll ever meet. I'm MORE depraved and funny because of HER.

She's nasty and I love her.

I forgot one other thing about our wedding music. We entered the reception and were introduced with "The Throne Room/End Title" theme from Star Wars.
I love my wife. She indulges me so much, and I know there is a little geek in her just trying to break free, however much she denies it.

THAT is cool.

OK, here goes... our song is "My Greatest Love" by Jeffrey Steele, because it was the song that literally got my wife and I together. We had been friends for quite a while, and both (separately) heard the song for the first time on the radio one night. Somehow we started discussing it the next day, and discovered that we had both somehow known it word for word without ever having heard it before. Kinda spooky, but that was what led us to start our relationship, which has thankfully lasted far longer than the song or Jeffrey's record deal did (both were pulled the next week). It was our first dance, followed shortly by the aforementioned "Look at You Girl" by the late, great Chris Ledoux. Really surprising how many country songs have been mentioned on here.

My Greatest Love

Well I know my heart's in question,
I can tell you have your doubts.
I know that you've been thinking
You're not important to me now.
And I admit that lately
I haven't made the time
To let you know how much it means
To have you by my side.

Chorus:
(But) you have always been my greatest love.
There is nothing on this earth I could ever love as much.
Though it's something I don't say enough,
You have always been my greatest love.

You have always been
The inspiration of my life.
You kept my feet on the ground
And gave me wings to fly.
I can tell you're feeling
Love got lost along the way.
But if you still believe in me,
Believe me when I say.

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Is it too late to say I'm sorry?
Is it too late to make it right?
Believe me when I tell you
I'll love you for all time.

Repeat Chorus

I love telling this story:

My wife and I go to buy her some new pants. We're in the dressing room and I ask her to play along at the counter. She agrees. So we're at the counter and this little girl is ringing us up. My wife turns to me and says, "Honey, do these pants make my ass look big."

I turn to her and say, "No. Your ass makes your ass look big." The little girl almost died she was so red. She rang us up quickly.

We recessed OUT of the church to that!

I tried to convince The Universe that the processional should be the Star Wars theme and he said that it was "too nerdy" and refused. What a jerk.
