Hi Ladies, we are working on our CD's and I wanted to share with you all some beautiful songs by India Arie that i'm using. Here are the lyrics.
Beautiful Surprise
It's like yesterday
I didn't even know your name
Now today
You're always on my mind
I never could have predicted that I feel this way
You're beautiful surprise
Intoxicated every time I hear your voice
You've got me on a natural high
It's almost like I didn't even have a choice
You're beautiful surprise
Whatever it is you came to teach me
I am here to learn it cause
I believe that we're written in the stars
I don't know the future hopes
But I'm living in the moment
And I'm thankful for the man that you are, you are, you are
You are everything I ask for in my prayers
So I know my angels brought you to my life
Your energy is healing to my soul
You're beautiful surprise
You're inspiration to my life
You're the reason why I smile
You're beautiful surprise
The Truth
[spoken]
Let me tell you why I love him
[chorus]
Cause he is the truth
Said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly cause
his light it shines so bright I wouldn't lie
I remember the very first day I saw him
I found myself immdiately intrigued by him
Its almost like I knew this man from another life
Like back then maybe I was his husband and maybe he was my wife
And even, the things I don't like about him are fine with me
Because its not hard for me to understand him because his so much like me
And its truly my pleasure to share his company
And I know that its GOD's gift to breathe
yeah he breathe
[chorus]
How can the same man that makes me so mad
- do you know what he did - [spoken]
Turn right around and kiss me so soft
- girl do you know what he did - [spoken]
If he ever, left me I wouldn't even be sad no
And I'm glad that I knew him at all
[chorus]
I love the way he speaks
I love the way he thinks
I love the way he treats his mama
I love that gap in between his teeth
I love him in every way that a woman can love a man from personal to universal but most of all its unconditional
- you know what I'm talking about - [spoken]
Thats the way I feel
- and I always will - [spoken]
There's anit no substitute for the truth
either it is or isnt
cause he is the truth
you see the truth it, needs no proof
either it is or it isnt
Cause he is the truth
Now you know the truth by the way it feels
and if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly
cause he is yes he is
I wonder does he know [echoes]
Some of my other songs are: I love me Some Him - Toni Braxton
Forever Mine - O'Jays, Makes Me Whole - Ariel Larrieux, Love Ballad - Jeffery Osbourne/LTD, So High - John Legend, So Amazing - Luther and For the Love of You - Isleys. He and I have about 9-10 songs each.

^5 PB! great choices! I love this India Arie song!
xlnt choices! you get the strange' (ala boomerang)
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way. ~ Pablo Neruda

My FH and I are thinking of having our first dance to Can I Walk with you (or I may walk down the aisle to it, we want to do something different).
Can I Walk With You"
I woke up this morning you were the first thing on my mind
I don't know were it came from all I know is I need you in my life, yeah
You make me feel like I can be a better woman
If you just say you wanna take this friendship to another place
[Chorus:]
Can I walk with you through your life
Can I lay with you as your wife
Can I be your friend 'till the end
Can I walk with you through your life (fades away)
You've got me wondering if you know that I am wondering about you.
This feeling is so strong that I can't imagine you're not feeling it too.
You've known me long enough to trust that I want what's best for you.
If you want to be happy then I am the one that you should give your heart to.
[Chorus]
Now everyday ain't gonna be like the summers day.
Being in love it really ain't like the movies screen.
But I can tell you all the drama aside you
And I can find what the worlds been looking for forever.
Friendship and love together.
[Chorus]
Can I walk with you in your life?
Till the day that the world stops spinning.
Can I walk with you in your life?
Till the day that my heart stops beating.
Can I walk with you in your life?
Can I walk with you
Till the day that the birds no longer take flight
Till the moon is underwater
Can I walk with you
Can I walk with you
This is the moment I've been waiting for
Can I walk with you
Can I walk with you
Can I walk with you
You are everything I've been looking for
Can I walk with you
Creative intellectual
Can I walk with you
Can I walk with you as your wife
DW,now that song is deep! I love the lyrics.
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
Who sings that one DW?
(If you've never heard it) It's an uptempo song and I think it would be different. Plus the first time I heard it I was with him and that is when I knew I loved him (corny huh). But she was singing how I feel/felt. We were sitting on the couch listening to her CD (it was the first time I was listening to it), we were just relaxing and reflecting, not talking, just holding each other. When the song came on I was listening to the words and by the time she was singing the chorus for the second time tears were rolling down my face and I did not realize it. He asked me why I was crying and I told him because I love him.
We have other "songs" too. We have a song for every situation/occasion (just about):
Adore~ Prince (The first time we slow danced)
Untitled (How does it feel)~D 'Angelo (The first time we....)
Cherez La Ghost~ Ghost Face Killa (When we wanna act crazy)
Miss Fat Booty~ Mos Def (When I wanna dance for him)
Shut the Eff Up~ Mc Lyte (When someone is talking junk)
Reasons~ Earth Wind & Fire (When we wanna sing crazy)
Bad Girl~ Usher (When he wants me to feel sexy)
Cross Roads~ Bone Thugs and Harmony (It's an inside joke)
The list truly goes on....
We have so much fun together!

India.Arie
I love india Arie! I think the lyrics to Can I Walk With You are really nice! Will that not be too fast for you to walk down the aisle to/ You want the guest to be able to bask in your beauty while you're walking down the aisle. It's your day though! Cute song choices too! You guys seem like you have alot of fun together.

I think we need more "entertainers" like Inda.Arie. She is a positive woman and her music/lyrics are great!
Purebliss~ You are right, it is a faster song. But I think if I take my time walking down the aisle it will work out fine. We are getting married on the beach so I think it will be a nice touch. If it was a church I would not "walk" to this song. But even the title is perfect! I may include the words to the song in the programs (if I can with out any copyright issues).
