The one I didn't get sick of

I've never claimed to be the most deep of music lovers, but when the lyrics of a song tell a story that resonates with me, the song usually becomes a lifelong favorite.  I had my ear out for the perfect wedding song long before I was engaged.  In fact I probably started looking for the perfect first dance song in my early teens when I started keeping lyrics in notebooks.

So when I was finally engaged and the date had been set, it became my mission to find "The Song".  I went through a few drafts, if you will, each time becoming obsessed with my choice.  Playing it endlessly over and over, imagining the moment in excruciating detail until I couldn't stand to hear the song one more time.  Back to the drawing board.

Kenny Chesney's "Me and You", Tim McGraw & Faith Hill's singing "It's your love", all fine on the surface but they just didn't feel right.

Then one summer night about 3 months before our wedding I was looking through my collection of mix tapes when I found the golden nugget.  The lyrics were perfect.  As far as I could tell it wasn't overused and it didn't make my fiance' want to vomit. 

When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do, is take a look at you...
Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me, got a groovy kind of love

Sure there are times when the cheese factor of Phil Collins rears it's ugly head, but I still get goosebumps when I hear "our song".  Looking back there were other choices that may have been better, but things happen for a reason and all it takes are a few key strokes on a piano to take me to one of the best days of my life.
