34 songs that remind me of my love for DVO... (in no particular order) 1) Your Smile - Josh Turner
"Your smile will always be one of my favorite things
like backwood barbecue's and front porch swings
and evenin' breezes through window screens
your smile makes me feel just like a child inside
like Christmas mornin' sparkling red and bright
and Grandpa's pipe, and my first bike"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyBywc6P2ZQ (Letterman is where I first
heard this song!) 2) I Will Be Here - Steven Curtis Chapman
"Tomorrow morning if you wake
up and the sun does not appear
I will be here
If in the dark, we lose sight of love
Hold my hand, and have no fear
'Cause I will be here"
3) Say Hey (I Love You) - Michael Franti & Spearhead
"Seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you
I love you"
4) Grow Old With Me - John Lennon
"Grow old along with me
The best is yet to be
When our time has come
We will be as one
God bless our love"
5) Smiling Underneath - Ani DiFranco
"i don't mind waking up early
for a flight that's delayed
i don't mind a week's vacation
was chilly and grey
i don't mind the traffic cops or the tsa
as long as i'm with you
i'm having a good day"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw2UDRdHlk8 (I love a happy, little bouncy Ani!) 6) Our Love is Here to Stay - Andy Williams
"It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIQhHgaLpdo (Has to be Andy Williams -
it's the first song we danced to and it was Andy Williams - love Andy
Williams!) 7) Love You 'Till the End - The Pogues
"I just want to be there
When we're caught in the rain
I just want to see you laugh not cry
I just want to feel you
When the night puts on its cloak
I'm lost for words dont tell me
Cause all I can say
I love you till the end"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjtzdummdCA (I knew this song already,
but I heard it at my cousin's fiance's bachelorette party while we
were looking for first dance songs and it just made my heart so warm
being reminded of it!) 8) I'm Yours - Jason Mraz
"So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-synov6gKU (Lots of memories with this
song, but watching DVO laugh at this video is the best...) 9) So Aware - John Brown's Body
"I can’t control the life you breathe into me
Don’t let the mystery disappear / no never
I’m so aware of your body, it’s blinding my sight when you are near"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARzXebBm-uI (This song is a little
not-happy, but it was the first CD I listened to in DVO's car and
always really liked this song...) 10) Steady As We Go - Dave Matthews Band
"So if your heart rings dry my love,
I will fill your cup.
And if your load gets heavy girl,
I will lift you up.
Troubles they may come and go,
But good times be the gold.
So if this road gets rocky girl,
Just steady as we go."
11) The Back of Your Hand - Dwight Yoakam
"You think you're alone without any place left to go
like you need one of those kisses long and slow
At fist glance it's not what it seems
but there's some things I just know,
Like you take two sugars with a splash of cream
you take a guess
Where I stand oh pick a number one or two
then take a look at the
back of your hand
just like you know it
you know me too"
12) Stay With You - Tarrus Riley

I will stay by your side
and I know will be all right
I will stay with you"
13) This Year's Love - David Gray

"I'm gonna love you forever, forever and ever amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men

I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever amen"

"Sittin' on a bench at West Town Mall
He sat down in his overalls and asked me
You waitin' on a woman
I nodded yeah and said how 'bout you
He said son since nineteen fifty-two I've been
Waitin' on a woman"

one we can’t forget

That chance worth taking
History in the making"
20) Easy Silence - Dixie Chicks

Easy silence that you make for me
It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me
And the peaceful quiet you create for me
And the way you keep the world at bay for me"
21) You're My Home - Billy Joel
"When you touch my weary head
And you tell me everything will be all right

And my love will keep you warm throughout the night"
Well I'll never be a stranger and I'll never be alone
Whenever we're together, that's my home"
22) Imperfectly - Ani DiFranco
"i'm okay
if you get me at a good angle
and you're okay
in the right sort of light
and we don't look
like pages from a magazine
but that's all right
that's all right"
23) The Best of Me - Barry Manilow
"You were my one more chance
I never thought I’d find
You were the one romance
I’ve always known in my mind
No one will ever touch me more

I might have saved the best of me for you."

Some of those times along the way
Every road I had to take
Every time my heart would break
It was just something that I had to get through
To get me to you"
28) When You Say Nothing At All - Alison Kraus (Um, or Pam Tillis?
Either one - who did it first?)

You say it best when you say nothing at all"
29) Come Rain or Come Shine - Any but the Ray Charles version!

I want a comfortable bed that won't hurt my back
Food to fill me up

Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have all of this, and
Passionate kisses"
