Whatever words I say, I will always love you

By now it should be no surprise that I love lyrics. Like poems and sonnets, lyrics hold so much emotion and translate feelings into words so effortlessly, they are just set to music. So in honor of Valentine's Day, which has always been one of my favorite holidays, here is a collection of excerpts of some of my favorite songs about love.

"You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream"
The Cure

"I search for something
To compare you to
Thought long and hard
For a simile true
Now I'm suddenly aware
In the quest you're beyond compare
So speak easy"
311

"I watch you spin around in the highest heels
You are the best one, of the best ones
We all look like we feel
You have stolen my
You have stolen my heart"
Dashboard Confessional

"So many moons that we have seen
Stumbling back next to me
I've seen right through and underneath
And you make me better
I've seen right through and underneath
And you make me better
Better... better...
You're really lovely
Underneath it all
You want to love me
Underneath it all
I'm really lucky
Underneath it all
You're really lovely"
No Doubt

"Just like a break in the clouds when the sun come shining through,
Momentary glimpse of the divine sometimes when I look at you
and everything just cancels out and for that moment there's no doubt
Dreams of a better life can come true, it's all there in you."
The Bouncing Souls!

"Come on let me hold you, touch you, feel you
Always
Kiss you, taste you, all night
Always"
Blink 182

"I've seen your face a thousand times
Have all your stories memorized
I've kissed your lips a million ways
But I still love to have you around
I've held you too many times to count
I think I know you inside out
And we're together most days
But I still love to have you around
You're the one I want and it's not just a phase
You're the one I trust, our love is the real thing"
Gwen Stefani

"You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
And there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing,
We're better together"
Jack Johnson

We plan to use all of these songs throughout the reception and highlight a couple in lyrics in our ceremony program. Maybe even name tables after our favorite songs :)

What are your favorite songs and lyrics?

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
