SoulGirl Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 there's a gorgeous song by christy moore, an irish singer, called 'the voyage'. it uses the metaphor of a voyage on a ship to symbolise a marriage. we sang it at my gran and grandad's 45th wedding anniversary. the words are very appropriate: I am a sailor, you're my first mate We signed on together, we coupled our fate Hauled up our anchor, determined not to fail For the hearts treasure, together we set sail With no maps to guide us we steered our own course Rode out the storms when the winds were gale force Sat out the doldrums in patience and hope Working together we learned how to cope Chorus: Life is an ocean and love is a boat In troubled water it keeps us afloat When we started the voyage, there was just me and you Now gathered round us, we have a whole crew Together we're in this relationship We built it with care to last the whole trip Our true destination's not marked on any charts We're navigating to the shores of the heart Chorus: Life is an ocean and love is a boat In troubled water it keeps us afloat When we started the voyage, there was just me and you Now gathered round us, we have a whole crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Not so much about anniversary, but "You Could Be Mine" by GnR is about being with somebody for so long. While you're breakin' down my back n' I been rackin' out my brain It don't matter how we make it 'Cause it always ends the same You can push it for more mileage But your flaps r' wearin' thin And I could sleep on it 'til mornin' But this nightmare never ends Don't forget to call my lawyers With ridiculous demands An you can take the pity so far But it's more than I can stand 'Cause this couchtrip's gettin' older Tell me how long has it been 'Cause 5 years is forever An you haven't grown up yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Well, one approach would be to use some songs from 50 years ago, that a couple might remember that bring back special memories... like Unforgettable - Nat King Cole Playing for Keeps - Elvis or even some '60s... You Are the Sunshine of My Life - Stevie Wonder Cherish - The Association Everything That Touches You - The Association (kudos to Easy Rider for remembering this song a few months ago.)

Earth-Angel Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Toni Tony Tone sang a song called anniversary which was quite sweet and romantic. Santana and the Dave Matthews Band also did a great song called "love of my life". Congratulations on the anniversary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie_sane Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 'Stand By Me' is a good one. I like the John Lennon version best. And 'Starting Over' by John Lennon too. The title might put you off, but check out the lyrics, they are really, really appropriate for an anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 I could take some heat for this.. but a few good choices & major chart-toppers are "Endless Love" by Lionel Richie & Donna Summer (I think?) & "You Light Up My Life" by Pat Boone's daughter.

How did I get here? Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 There is a great song by The Samples called "Did You Ever Look So Nice?" Sean Kelly (the singer) wrote it after he met an old couple in a nursing home. We were children in our places with the world beneath our feet Growing up was on our faces I remember yours so sweet Did you ever look so nice? Did you ever look so nice? Every turn became our future There for us to make our bet That the longer I remeber You're still the hardest to forget Did You eve rlook so nice (Repeated) And if we make it through these changes To find that nothing was in stone But the glance of our exchanges Did they ever look so nice Did you ever look so nice?

arjay Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Too bad I didn't find this post sooner. I wrote a song for my in-laws golden wedding anniversary 20 years ago, had it professionally recorded, and recently transferred it to CD. I have been selling on eBay and my own site, http://goldenwedding.net In the past year I have sold over 80 copies to 33 states and three foreign countries. Lyrics: Golden Love Silk and satin will decay, iron and steel will rust away, And the dawn will even fade the stars above But gold's a substance that endures and keeps its luster through the years And that is why I treasure so your Golden Love. Yes, gold's a substance that endures and keeps its luster through the years And that is why I tresure so your Golden Love It was 50 years go I heard you say "I love you so", We took our vows and we prayed to God above Wealth and treasure had we none, no gilded mansion was our home, But we were rich beyond compare with Golden Love Yes, gold's a substance that endures and keeps its luster through the years And we were rich beyond compare with Golden Love Troubles came down through the years but love would wipe away the tears And lift us up like the wings of a dove When we felt life's storm winds blow, you'd whisper soft, "I love you so" And we knew we'd see it through with Golden Love Yes gold's a substance that endures and keeps its luster through the years And we knew we'd see it through with Golden Love As we traveled this life through our Golden Love forever grew And filled our lives like a hand fills a glove Now that we are growing gray, on our golden wedding day, I love you still and always will with Golden Love Yes, gold's a substance that endures and keeps its luster through the years, I love you still and always will with Golden Love. I love you still and always will with Golden Love. Check it out at http://goldenwedding.net :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
