    I stumbled across "The Promise" by Tracy Chapman in someone's wedding video. I think it's just beautiful and incredibly emotional.  I could picture this being our first dance song, however the lyrics are sad and don't actually relate to us as we've never been apart. What do you think - not appropriate? You can hear it here:

    Could probably cut it off around 3 minutes...

    Oh my gosh, I was thinking the same thing! I love this song, and I havne't been able to find much of anything comparable to it. I do have the same issue with it, though.

    The lyrics themselves aren't necessarily sad at all:

    If you wait for me then I'll come for you
    Although I've traveled far
    I always hold a place for you in my heart
    If you think of me If you miss me once in awhile
    Then I'll return to you
    I'll return and fill that space in your heart
    Remembering
    Your touch
    Your kiss
    Your warm embrace
    I'll find my way back to you
    If you'll be waiting
    If you dream of me like I dream of you
    In a place that's warm and dark
    In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

    Remembering
    Your touch
    Your kiss
    Your warm embrace
    I'll find my way back to you
    If you'll be waiting
    I've longed for you and I have desired
    To see your face your smile
    To be with you wherever you are

    Remembering
    Your touch
    Your kiss
    Your warm embrace
    I'll find my way back to you
    If you'll be waiting
    I've longed for you and I have desired
    To see your face, your smile
    To be with you wherever you are

    Remembering
    Your touch
    Your kiss
    Your warm embrace
    I'll find my way back to you
    Please say you'll be waiting

    Together again
    It would feel so good to be
    In your arms
    Where all my journeys end
    If you can make a promise If it's one that you can keep, I vow to come for you
    If you wait for me and say you'll hold
    A place for me in your heart.

    It could be interpreted that one lover is making a promise to always return to the other as long as they hold a place for them in their heart.

    @julies1949:

    Reading the lyrics you included, that's how I'm interpreting it too

    Do y'all think this song would be appropriate if the couple had been in a semi long-distance relationship for several years before getting married? I just stumbled on this thread and love the song. :)

    I see a lot of comments on the YouTube videos about grieving. Hmm...

    @Gemstone: I noticed that too, but I'm trying to convince myself that it doesn't matter. :/
