What would be a good song to sing for my father's memorial?

This answer is to Alexis

That is a really inappropriate song... she's talking about her father passing away and you suggest a song with "lets make love tonight" in the lyrics?

You tw@t

When my wife died I faced the same decision. I finally settled on WIND BENEATH MY WINGS.... I had some others that I planned to perform, but I had such a hard time with the first one.. I dropped the other songs from the program.

When my Mother died I performed SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW because it was her favorite SECULAR song. That was in 1973 and ever since then, when something comes up and I can't figure out an answer or I need a shoulder to lean on.. I HEAR THAT SONG.. It's come from such varied places as the PA system in a Bruxelles Subway station to a ballpark concert and everything else in between.... so I just say "Thank you Mother' and then make my decision.

CHOOSE CAREFULLY.. pick a song you wouldn't normally do because it needs to stay Special to you..

You have my sympathy.

Nayobe- Good Things Come To Those Who Wait Lyrics

Its been awhile that we've been together

The love we shared has meant so much

And we've been patient, waiting for the right time

Knowing that it would be wrong to run

But tonight I know the time for love has come

That special moment has arrived

And now I'm sure this love we have is real

And I know that our love will survive, 'cause...

Chorus:

Good things come to those who wait

And we waited long enough for, the time for love is right

Good things come to those who wait

Now I'm ready for your lovin' so lets make love tonight

Light up the night, I've dreamed about this moment

That you and I would be as one

But making love is something that we should always cherish

Not something we only do for fun

But tonight I know the time for love has come

That special moment has arrived

And now I'm sure this love we have is real

And I know that our love will survive, 'cause...

Chorus

Good things come to those who wait

Let me take you to a place where you have never been before

Good things come to those who wait

We have done our share of waiting, now there's nothing, love is gone

Good things come to those who wait
