thought love was


Only true in fairy tales


Meant for someone else


But not for me


Love was out to get to me


That's the way it seems


Disappointment haunted


All my dreams





And then I saw her face


Now I'm a believer


Not a trace


Of doubt in my mind


I'm in love


I'm a believer


I couldn't leave her


If I tried





I thought love was


More or less a given thing


The more I gave the less


I got, oh yeah


What's the use in trying


All you get is pain


When I wanted sunshine


I got rain





And then I saw her face


Now I'm a believer


Not a trace


Of doubt in my mind


I'm in love


I'm a believer


I couldn't leave her


If I tried





What's the use in trying


All you get is pain


When I wanted sunshine


I got rain





And then I saw her face


Now I'm a believer


Not a trace


Of doubt in my mind


I'm in love


I'm a believer


I couldn't leave her


If I tried





Then I saw her face


Now I'm a believer


Not a trace


Of doubt in my mind


Now I'm a believer


Yeah, yeah, yeah


Yeah, yeah, yeah


I'm a believer


Then I saw her face


I'm a believer


Not a trace


Of doubt in my mind


I'm a believer








You Had Me From Hello-Bon Jovi





At the mirror you fix your hair and put your makeup on


You're insecure about what clothes to wear


I can't see nothing wrong





To me you look so beautiful when you can't make up your mind


It's half past eight, it's getting late


It's OK, take your time





Standing here my hands in my pockets


Like I have a thousand times


Thinking back it took one breath


One word to change my life





[Chorus:]


The first time I saw you it felt like coming home


If I never told you I just want you to know


You had me from hello





When we walk into a crowded room it's like we're all alone


Everybody tries to kidnap your attention


You just smile and steal the show





You come to me and take my hand


We start dancin' slow


You put your lips up to my ear and whisper way down low





[Chorus:]


From the first time I saw you it felt like coming home


If I never told you I just want you to know


You had me from hello





And when you're laying down beside me


I feel your heartbeat to remind me...





[Chorus:]


The first time I saw you it felt like coming home


If I never told you I just want you to know


You had me from hello





From hello


From hello





Good luck with your wedding!
Reply:We're doing "Thank You" by Led Zepplin, and Love Song was our 2nd choice.





If you've heard of a band called 311, they do a really really nice cover of Love Song.





Stand By Me is always a good one as well, and Pennywise does a punked-up version as well.
Reply:you and me by Alice Cooper


It dates back to the '70s but nobody gives the guy credit for a love song.
