Hi there! I know this question may be a little weird, but my sister is getting married in May. At the reception, I would like to dedicate a song to her. However, I haven't really been able to find a good song. We have had a pretty good relationship... fought like most sisters have, but now I want a special song to let her know how much I care about her. Anyone have any good song suggestions?

What can I do next?

I keep thinking about songs i listened to with my sister growning up. Girls just wanna have Fun by Cindi lauper is the one i have stuck in my head. It would be Fun to do a Fast Dance that way both of you can be out on the dance floor with each other kicking it up. Have a great time!

I don't listen to closely to lyrics but I"ll be by Edwin Mccain is a pretty one.

I dont know if you are into Country at all but Reba McIntire's song called My Sister is a beautiful song. Good Luck. Call the DJ she is using he/she may be able to suggest something. Its really is not a wedding type song but it will tell your sister how you feel.

Hey girl it's me i just called to tell you hi
Call me when you get this
Haven't talked lately so hard to find the time
Give the boys a big kiss
Tell them that I miss them
By the way I miss you too

I was thinking just today
About how we used to play
Barbie dolls and make-up
Tea parties dress up
I remember how we'd fight
We made up and laughed all night
Wish we were kids again
My sister my friend

Oh yeah before I forget I met someone
I think I really like him
I was wondering if I'm jumping the gun
By going out on a limb
And invite him home for Christmas
To meet the family

Seem like just yesterday
You brought home old what's his name
He had been drinking
What were you thinking
After dinner he passed out
We can laugh about it now
We've learned a lot since then
My sister my friend

Do you think you could come and see me sometime soon
We could just hang out like we used to
It's late and I should go
But I can'y hang up the phone
Until I tell you
What I don't tell you enough
Even though at times it seemed
We were more like enemies
I'd do it all again
My sister my friend

I have a much younger sister (she is actully adopted) She is 17 yr younger and i picked it because she has not experianced everything the world has to offer yet. So I picked and danced to "I hope you Dance" By Leeann Womack the lyrics are:

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give fate the fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance
[ Womack Lee Ann Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small when you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith the fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

I would recommend the song Two Little Sisters by Carly Simon. It really was a good representation of my relationship w/ my sister when I married.

The lyrics are:
Two little sisters gazing at the sea
Imagining what their futures will be
The older one says as her eyes look around
I will go as far as the corners of town
Plant a little garden, flowers everywhere
And pluck the most fragrant for my hair...

Two little sisters gazing at the sea
Imagining what their futures will be
The younger one stands with her eyes open wide
And says I'll go as far as the corners of the sky
Gather all the stars each night as they appear
And pick the very brightest one to wear in my ear...

I didn't choose you, and you didn't choose me
I didn't choose you, who would guess we're from the same family
But what will you do when the nights get cold?
When the stars grow dim and your dreams seem old...

Whatcha gonna do when winter calls
And your flowers fall from the garden walls
I'll come home to you, you'll come home to me
My love will be your remedy
I'll choose you and you'll choose me
We'll be two daughters dancing by the edge of the sea...

Here is a link to hear it.

Do the two of you have any song that is special to you? Even a "fast" song, if its something you've shared would be great.

My sister and I do what we call "the turn-up song"... whenever certain songs come on the radio, we turn it up really loud (so we can't hear ourselves) and sing at the top of our lungs. Or if you had a song growing up you both liked to sing or dance to, I think that would be terrific.

Otherwise, if you want to go the slow song route, "Hero" by Mariah Carey always gets me.

If she's an older sister, how about "Wind Beneath My Wings"? I guess this would work for a younger sister, too.

Hi T., No it's not weird...not at all. Weddings bring out the best and the worst in most relationships all the time. If you haven't thought of it or if no one else has suggested it how about Wind beneath my wings by Bette Middler (its on the sound track to beaches as well as at least one other CD she has out). Best wishes.

Hi,
My wedding party danced to "I am your Angel". It's by Celine Dion (with R. Kelly producing) I'm not a Celine Dion fan (too much screaming), but this is a really beautiful song and she doesn't scream at all! Lyrics below.

I'm Your Angel Lyrics
Artist(Band):Celine Dion Review The Song

No Mountains too high, for you to climb
All you have to do, is have some climbing faith, oh yeah
No rivers too wide, for you to make it across
All you have to do, is believe it when you pray

And then you will see, the morning will come
And everyday will be bright as the sun
All of your fears, cast them on me
I just want you to see...

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll hear your voices when you call
I am your angel
And when all hope is gone, I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel
I'm your angel..

I saw the teardrops, and I heard you cry
All you need is time, seek me and you shall find
You have everything and you're still lonely
It don't have to be this way, let me show you a better day

And then you will see, the morning will come
And all of your days will be bright as the sun
So all of your fears, just cast them on me
How can I make you see...

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll hear your voices when you call me
I am your angel
And when all hope is gone, I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel
I'm your angel

And when it's time to face the storm
I'll be right by your side
Grace will keep us safe and warm
And I know we will survive

And just when it seems as if your end is drawing near
Don't you dare give up the fight
Just put your trust beyond the sky...

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll hear your voices when you call me
I am your angel
And when all hope is gone, I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel
I'm your angel

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll hear your voices when you call me
I am your angel
And when all hope is gone, I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel
I'm your angel
