5 song lyrics that would make great wedding ceremony readings.
Are you thinking about having any readings at your wedding ceremony? Have you thought about using song lyrics? Song lyrics can make a great alternative to traditional wedding ceremony readings and poems. Here are 5 I think would make great ceremony readings.
Toothpaste Kisses – The Maccabees
Cradle me, I’ll cradle you
I’ll win your heart with a woop a woo
Pulling shapes just for your eyes
So with toothpaste kisses and lines
I’ll be yours and you’ll be
Lay with me, I’ll lay with you
We’ll do the things that lovers do
Put the stars in our eyes
And with heart shaped bruises
And late night kisses divine
Last of the ladies – Courteeners
You are the last of the ladies
You are the only one who can save me
You are, you are, you are
You are the one to grow old with
To live, to laugh, and to lie with
You are, you are, you are
Sometimes I may not see you for a week
Don’t think of this as a burden
Just a grander hide and seek
And when you find me I’ll be happy to be out
Your words are one thing I can’t believe that I’ve ever lived without
You are the only one who can save me
You are, you are, you are
You are the one to grow old with
To live, to laugh, and to lie with
You are, you are, you are
Sometimes is easy then it’s not worth the reward
Like remembering the list of bands that I wrote on
the chalk board
I’m not saying you’re New Order but I think you
know what I mean
And I’m into the way that you’re into me
Like a scene from the silver screen
You are the last of the ladies
You are the one who can save me
You are, you are, you are
Happiness is you – Johnny Cash
Way down the mountain I chased a moonbeam
On the beach I built sand castles too
My moonbeams faded my castles tumbled
All of this was meaningless ’cause happiness is you
No more chasing moonbeams or catching falling stars
I know now my pot of gold is anywhere you are
My heart won’t miss you my heart goes with you
Loneliness is emptiness but happiness is you
I tried to doubt you and live without you
Tried to deny but I love you like a do
But I realize now and I’ll admit it
You’ll always be a part of me ’cause happiness is you
No more chasing moonbeams or catching falling stars
I know now my pot of gold is anywhere you are
My heart won’t miss you my heart goes with you
Loneliness is emptiness, and happiness is you
Something Changed – Pulp
I didn’t know your name or what you looked like yet
Oh, I could have stayed at home and gone to bed
I could have gone to see a film instead
You might have changed your mind and seen your friends
Life could have been very different but then
Something changed
Do you believe that there’s someone up above?
And does he have a timetable directing acts of love?
Why did I write this song on that one day?
Why did you touch my hand and softly say
“Stop asking questions that don’t matter anyway
Just give us a kiss to celebrate here today”
Something changed
When we woke up that morning we had no way of knowing
That in a matter of hours we’d change the way we were going
Where would I be now, where would I be now if we’d never met?
Would I be singing this song to someone else instead?
I don’t know but like you just said
Something changed
Let there be love – Oasis
Who kicked a hole in the sky so the heavens would cry over me?
Who stole the soul from the sun in a world come undone at the seams?
Let there be love
I hope the weather is calm as you sail up your heavenly stream
Suspended clear in the sky are the words that we sing in our dreams
Let there be love
Come on baby blue
Shake up your tired eyes
The world is waiting for you
May all your dreaming fill the empty sky
But if it makes you happy
Keep on clapping
Just remember I’ll be by your side
And if you don’t let go, it’s gonna pass you by
Who kicked a hole in the sky so the heavens would cry over me?
Who stole the soul from the sun in a world come undone at the seams?
Let there be love
