Best Song Wedding Poems
While the shadows fall so widely
we shall embrace a moment
for a moment will fill
all the shells empty; holding nothing
but time—days n' days
without love
The wedding procession covered
you in flowers and white
floating through the candle light
dragging crisp white fingers lightly
through lilies fair
While the shadows fall so widely
and the candle light twirled through your hair
Twist a finger, twist a lily
While the shadows fall so widely
Blush the sun rubbed rose cheeks
lift a veil, let the sun shine off your green eyes
While the shadows fall so widely
You were left a drift
your beauty beyond our realm
of beauty
While the shadows fall so widely
Lift the veil from mine eyes tonight
as goes the cloud from under your star
I see
While the shadows fall so widely
your foot astray touched the water
and you bloomed embracing me
While the shadows fall so widely
we shall embrace a moment
for a moment will fill
all the shells empty; holding nothing
but time—days n' days
without love
(verse 1)
Baby girl,
I love,
But, not enough,
You're the only one,
I'm thinkin of,
I could hide my love,
But, I'm sincere,
You're the only one,
That I can hear,
(chorus)
I Think I Love You, baby (you) x3
(verse 2)
I can be your man,
But, you're my world,
Baby, you're that,
Special kind of girl,
Baby, you're on top,
Like a canopy,
Baby girl, tell me,
That you love me,
(chorus)
I Think I Love You, baby (you) x3
Baby girl, I fell,
Inside your love,
You're the only girl,
I'm speakin of,
I never thought,
That I'd be here,
Girl, I never thought love,
Could just apear,
(Chorus)
Oh I Think I Love You, baby (I love
you) x4

We were happy;
were we not?
We were lucky;
have everything we got.
It was us;
you and me.
We were nothing,
but meant to be.
All was perfect,
yet tell me why?
Why am I walking down the aisle,
and the one at the end isn`t you?
At the side you stood,
smiling at me.
My tears were ruining the festive mood,
Is this how you ought to be?
Can`t you take me away?
Why, for my happiness, you pray?
When you know I will never be,
without you with me.
My heart is killing me inside,
I walk to the end,
he takes my side
we take our vows.
And this is where it ends,
I`ll be apart from you
I can`t imagine life
without you
But what I hate the most
is not that I belong to someone else,
but your heart,
you will give to another lady.
I walk out with him
faking a smile
thinking I`ll be alright
when I see you again
I rode the car
he clutched my hand
I see you through the mirror
with a girl by your side.
I felt I could die.
Time has shown me, how special you are
My devotion to you is more than you can stand
Sometimes I question if you’re too good to be my man
Although I know I earned you honestly
I feel I’m not good enough for you, but you’re perfect to me
Chorus
Everything I need is in you
Waiting for me to let it out
I want for nothing because of you
Our love fulfilled my drought
Your touch is like none other
It sends chills down my spine
Wanting you more and more
It’s been a very long while
But those brown eyes call to me
Whispering, B-jay & hesitantly I’m reminded
You’re perfect to me
Chorus
Everything I need is in you
Waiting for me to let it out
I want for nothing because of you
Our love fulfilled my drought
I don’t know, I can’t explain exactly what it is
To some it up into words, couldn’t say what I feel
But if I must put it into words I’d say
I never saw it coming, and that you’re perfect to me
Bridge
I’ll always be here
No matter what’s going on
Depend on the unknown
I’ll Stand alone
For you, I believe in
As for as my eyes can see
I don’t know what else to say but
You’re perfect to me

Favorite Song: 'Only You' by the Platters
played at our wedding June 1958
still my favorite
Whether we wander wistful
whether we wander wise
we waltz wedding’s waltz; whenever
whatever weather
we’ll wriggle with wishful wives
Wind wispy willow
willy-nilly we’ll whirl
we’ll widdle we’ll weave; whenever
whatever weather
we'll waltz with wedding's wench
Well worthy we writers
who with words wrench

The bluest eyes I've ever seen
The pages of a magazine
I look at you in Holy White
Hollywood never gets it right
Since that eve I can't forget
The way I felt the day we met
The years go by, I wonder why
His Spirit called me from on High
It's been so long since that first song
I wonder where it all went wrong
Love waits for an eternity
Love is more than just a fantasy.
the love
comes in a dream
and you twirl me around
spinning, spinning, spinning we dance
the song
In my eyes, you’re the only one I see
In my mind, all day you’re holding onto me.
And most importantly…
In my heart you’re the one for me…
Ooh baby, you’re the one for me.
We wait for regal washing waves,
I stand on a boat in your arms
Barefoot on sand, exploring caves,
Though it rains you keep me warm.
We visit an island in a canoe,
Raindrops disturb the tender soul,
Under a willow together with you,
Trails never been seen, we stole,
In my eyes, you’re the only one I see
In my mind, all day you’re holding onto me.
And most importantly…
In my heart you’re the one for me…
Sweetheart, you’re the one for me.
When I wake up to your voice, or see you running through the grasses,
When we’re walking hand-in-hand, or together cutting classes,
When we laugh beneath the trees or count ladybugs in the stream,
When I watch you kick around the leaves, or I feel you when I dream,
In my eyes, you’re the only one I see
In my mind, all day you’re holding onto me.
And most importantly…
In my heart you’re the one for me…
My darling, you’re the one for me.
You entice with roses at no cause,
Rescue me in the early morn,
Together we aimlessly search for stars,
For you on this earth I’d be reborn.
In pale sheets soft and scented of you,
You know not how perfect I feel,
You tell me beautiful, you make it true,
I fear I dream, yet you are real;
In my eyes, you’re the only one I see
In my mind, all day you’re holding onto me.
And most importantly…
In my heart you’re the one for me…
Ooh my love; you’re the only one, for me.
Listen to your lover as he comes, gazing in your windows, peering
through the lattice, leaping across your mountains and bounding over your hills
like a gazelle or young stag in your garden orchard of pomegranates with choice
fruits, with henna and nard, saffron, calamus and cinnamon with every kind of
incense tree with myrrh and aloes, and all the finest spices streaming with wells
of flowing water that go down from Lebanon; I am drenched with dew as I cry out-
I call to you, arise my darling, my beautiful one and come with me. Let us roam
the countryside and go into the fields. Let us spend the night in the villages and
go early to the vineyards to see if the vines have budded, if their tender grapes do
appear, if the pomegranates are in bloom as the mandrakes send forth their
fragrance at our gates. There will I give you all manner of pleasant fruit, and
there I will give you more love until the day breaks and the shadows flee. You
have given me your vineyard, now all in my kingdom is yours. So come, come
away upon the spice-laden mountains and receive my love.
I will love you and give myself for you. I will love you as myself, even
as my own body, for he who loves his wife loves himself. So, I will nourish you; I
will clothe you; I will carefully protect you from danger, spot and wrinkle to present
you in glorious splendor. I will cherish you for you are my body, and I am your
head. Take care of me as your own. I give you honor with your reverence as we
both submit ourselves one to another in the fear of God, and many waters will not
quench our love, neither will the floods drown it, for its coals are the coals of fire,
as the vehement flame of God that none would dare try to put asunder what God
has joined together, and our threefold chord will not be broken. With Jesus, you
and me, we have security, help, warmth, and strength. So, let us give thanks
always for everything to our God and Father in the name of Jesus our Lord for His
Spirit, one another and this day and each day that we can come together and
rejoice and exhilirate each other with love and happiness. May our peace be
forever and ever in love.
The moon told the stars,
there's nothing more beautiful than you,
The sea told the sky,
there's nothing more higher than you,
The wind told the light,
there's nothing more faster than you,
but,they all agree on one that is true,
there's nothing more special than you,
Thats why i say it with a beautiful clue,
I am madly in love with you....
He who finds a wife has found a good thing. This is why I came forth
to meet you, diligently to seek your face, and now I have found you- and my heart
is still rejoicing. I will rejoice with you, my wife. I have remembered the covenant
of our God, and because of you I have found favor in His eyes to drink waters,
fresh waters, out of my own cistern, out of my own well, and my fountain shall be
blessed. I will be ravished with your love always. I will lie down with you only and
share the warmth of your body, for you are virtuous. You are my crown. I will have
joy in you all the days of my life. So, love me and know me as I know and love
you.
Your name is like an expensive perfume that is poured forth, like the
fragrance upon your garments to delight my soul. As i gaze upon your figure, I
see that you are perfect and unique. How beautiful you are, fairest among
women; majestic as the troops with banners, there is no flaw in you. Only you
are pleasant to me, my love, pleasing with all your delights. Behind the veil and
the locks of your hair, you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes.
They overwhelm me, the eyes of a dove, beautiful like the pools of Heshbon, and
your nose is as the tower of Lebanon that looks toward Damascus. Your cheeks
are like rows of rubies and beds of sweet flowers and spices. Your lips are like
scarlet ribbons dripping sweet smelling myrrh. They drip like the honeycomb, so
kiss my body softly with the kisses of your mouth, for your love is better than
wine.
My attention is undivided as you dance for me the dance of
Mahanaim with your beautiful sandaled feet. Your graceful legs are the jewels of
the Master Craftsman, which surround my waist, and your feet secure them. So,
we embrace and come together, for I belong to you, and I know your desire is for
me. Hold me close and caress me because the winter is past; the rain is over
and gone. The vines have budded and the blossoms have opened. Everything
is now ready, and our bed is new and lively. It's undefiled. It's spread abroad
with silk and satin and is perfumed with aloes and cinnamon. And in our bed is
every delicacy that has been stored up, so let us solace ourselves with loves,
and let us take our fill of desire until the morning.
I have come into my garden; I have gathered myrrh with spice. I have
eaten my honeycomb and my honey. I have drank my wine and my milk, which
have come straight to me. Flowing gently over my lips and teeth is the drink of
your spiced wine, the nectar of your pomegranates- and I, too, shall always fill
you with love. You are priceless to me, and I trust you. I will be good to you all of
my days. You are blessed. You excel all others who think they have done
virtuously. Cradled beside me, you protect my heart, and I will praise you
because you fear the Lord, but never be afraid- I will do for you all that you
require. I will be for you all that you need, and my banner over you is love.
My queen, I am rich in you. You send light into my life as fair as the
moon, and clear as the sun, and majestic as the stars in procession- and I love
you. I love you for who you are. I will always cherish and adore you. I will live
with you in understanding and compassion, and I will care for you, so be secure
in me. We are one; you are my only one, and I am yours. This is the Lord's doing
and it's marvelous in our eyes, so let us rejoice together in Him and celebrate
our love. Let us join together always and delight ourselves forever.
Milk and honey are under your tongue. Your teeth are like a flock of
sheep just shorn, coming up from the washing. Each has its twin, and none is
alone. Your voice is like apples of gold in silver frames, so as the fragrance of
apples fill your breath, speak to me. Call my name for your words are smooth as
oil, majestic as your crown. Your hair is like the flocks descending from mount
Gilead; like royal tapestry, it's glorious and I'm captured by your tresses. Your
temples, behind your veil, are like the halves of a pomegranate, and your ears
are bordered with rings of gold and studded with silver. Your neck is a tower of
ivory with necklaces of gold, and your shoulders slope like the falls, as your arms
cascade your body.
Your breasts are like twin fawns, tender, browsing among the lilies.
Your stature is like a palm tree, and your breasts are like its cluster of fruit. I will
climb my palm tree and take hold of your fruit. They are like the clusters of the
vine; they are like the best wine bringing me full contentment- so shall I be
satisfied with your breasts at all times. Your waist is like a mound of wheat
decorated with lilies, and your navel like a golden goblet never lacking wine. So, I
thirst for my garden's founts, and I hunger for her choicest fruits; as I unlock your
barred gates and unseal your closed springs, my eyes are fastened upon you.
