Also, my dad and I are dancing to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDfXIRFSKqQ">"I Love" by Tom T. Hall</a>.  We used to listen to Tom T. Hall's greatest hits tape on family vacations, and the song is sweet and just so very my dad.  I love it. :)  Bonus: It's just under 2 minutes.  mandalynn17 on "First Dance... short but sweet songs?" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/first-dance-short-but-sweet-songs/page/2#post-169861 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 17:42:11 +0000 mandalynn17 169861@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ Glad you were able to find something Underneathy!  I was also going to suggest Ingrid Michaelson's "The Way I am".   sal75 on "First Dance... short but sweet songs?" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/first-dance-short-but-sweet-songs/page/2#post-169831 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 16:49:40 +0000 sal75 169831@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ We asked our DJ to cut the song and fade it out after about a minute... it was no problem for him...

YouTube it... it's us. amyolly on "First Dance... short but sweet songs?" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/first-dance-short-but-sweet-songs/page/2#post-169742 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 15:10:08 +0000 amyolly 169742@http://boards.weddingbee.com/  Dave Barnes, "Nothing Fancy" is an incredibly sweet song, perfect for a first dance at a wedding, and it is only 2.5 minutes. Another Dave Barnes song, "On A Night Like This" is beautiful as well, and is only 2 minutes. Ben Harper's song, "Happily Everafter In Your Eyes" is pretty and is only 2.5 minutes. "For Once In My Life" by Michael Buble is also only 2.5 minutes.  Good luck with the song finding. We are a bit nervous also, but we figure we can just ad lib some fun moves at the end if we lose our moves.     underneathy on "First Dance... short but sweet songs?" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/first-dance-short-but-sweet-songs/page/2#post-169668 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:46:33 +0000 underneathy 169668@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ Thanks for all the great suggestions, everyone (wow, other Cat Power fans,yay)!  We spoke with the DJ about not wanting a long song and being shy about dancing, and he just said that one of us can give him a nod or a wink and he'll slowly fade the song out.  We ended up choosing "I Wanna Get Next To You" by Rose Royce (not the shortest song but pretty easy to slow dance to, which was also a factor).
