First dance to Superman tonight?

I love the song superman tonight by bon jovi. I'm not sure if it could fit into being a first song. what do you think the song means and do you think it could be used as a first dance song for our reception? here are the lyrics.

There's something about you

I want to rescue

I don't even know you

So what does that mean

Maybe I'm cynical

I'm painfully logical

You're tragic and beautiful

And that's good enough for me

You're looking for a hero, but it's just my old tattoo

Tonight I swear I'd sell my soul to be a hero for you

Who's going to save you

When the stars fall from your sky

And who's going to pull you in

When the tide gets too high

Who's going to hold you

When you turn out the lights

I won't lie I wish that I

Could be your superman tonight

If somebody sent you

An angel to save you

What would you tell him to turn him away

That your heart don't break

That your lips don't kiss

That life is just a lie

That heaven don't exist?

Who's going to save you

When the stars fall from your sky

And who's going to pull you in

When the tide gets too high

Who's going to hold you

When you turn out the lights

I won't lie I wish that I

Could be your superman tonight

Who's going to fix you

The next time you break down

Stranded alone by the side of the road

It's your baggage that's dragging you down

Don't look back

Let it go

Ohhh, Ohhhhh

Who's going to save you

When the stars fall from your sky

And who's going to pull you in

When the tide gets too high

Who's going to hold you

When you turn out the lights

I won't lie I wish that I

Was that superman

Who's going to save you

When the stars fall from your sky

And who's going to pull you in

When the tide gets too high

Who's going to hold you

When you turn out the lights

I won't lie I wish that I

Could be your superman tonight

    In my opinion it's not a very good first dance song. It's a song about heroes (like the literal meaning.) nothing to do with love. It's like a brother/sister song, or firefighters. Reminds me of a post 9/11 song. I do love the song, and the lyrics are beautiful, but in my opinion it just doesn't work as a love song. If you want a Bon Jovi song may I suggest Thank you for loving me... It's a great first dance track. Other good ones are Always, All About Lovin You, Diamond Ring. Thank you for loving me is my fave choice though. Here are the lyrics & a youtube video of a great performance of it:

    Thank you for loving me-Bon jovi

    It's hard for me to say the things

    I want to say sometimes

    There's no one here but you and me

    And that broken old street light

    Lock the doors

    We'll leave the world outside

    All I've got to give to you

    Are these five words when I

    Thank you for loving me

    For being my eyes when I couldn't see for

    Parting my lips when I couldn't breathe

    Thank you for loving me

    Thank you for loving me

    I never knew I had a dream

    Until that dream was you

    When I look into your eyes

    The sky's a different blue

    Cross my heart

    I wear no disguise

    If I tried, you'd make believe

    That you believed my lies

    Thank you for loving me

    For being my eyes when I couldn't see

    For parting my lips when I couldn't breathe

    Thank you for loving me

    You pick me up when I fall down

    You ring the bell before they count me out

    If I was drowning you would part the sea

    And risk your own life to rescue me, yeah

    Lock the doors

    Leave the world outside

    All I've got to give to you

    Are these five words when I

    Thank you for loving me

    For being my eyes oh, when I couldn't see

    You parted my lips when I couldn't breathe

    Thank you for loving me

    When I couldn't fly

    Oh, you gave me wings

    You parted my lips when I couldn't breathe

    Thank you for loving me

    Thank you for loving me

    Thank you for loving me

    Oh for loving me

    It's your wedding so you can pick anything you'd like. However, this song deals more with rescue love versus long-term relationship love. Perhaps, since you will want to relive this moment for the rest of your life, something a little more on the eternally classic side? Or something a little fun and retro like, "Best of My Love"?

    The lyrics to maximum Beck songs. Loser in specific has some loopy lyrics. interior the time of chimpanzees i became right into a monkey, butane in my veins so i'm out to get the junkie with the plastic eyeballs, spraypaint the vegetables, dogs foodstuff stalls with the beefcake pantyhose, kill the headlights and positioned it in independent, stockcar flaming with a loser interior the cruise administration, infant's in Reno with the nutrition D, have been given a pair of couches, sleep on the affection seat, somebody got here sayin' i'm insane to ***** some shotgun wedding ceremony and a stain on my shirt, do no longer have faith each little thing which you breathe, you get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve, so shave your face with some mace on the hours of darkness, saving all your foodstuff stamps for burning down the trailer park,

    If you are doing Superman tonight, then do this one. Maureen Mcgovern sang it.

    Can

    you read my mind?

    Do you know what it is you do to me?

    Don't know who you are

    Just a friend from another star

    Here I am like a kid at a school

    Holding hands with a god, I'm a fool

    Will you look at me quivering

    Like a little girl shivering?

    You can see right through me

    Can you read my mind?

    Can you picture the things I'm thinking of?

    Wondering why you are

    All the wonderful things you are

    You can fly, you belong to the sky

    You and I could belong to each other

    If you need a friend,

    I'm the one to fly to

    If you need to be loved, (to be loved)

    Here I am, read my mind

    Instrumental Bridge

    Will you look at me quivering

    Like a little girl shivering?

    You can see right through me

    If you need a friend,

    I'm the one to fly to

    If you need to be loved,

    Here I am, read my mind

    Read my mind
