What do you guys think of the John Legend and Meaghan Trainor song "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" as a first dance song? I love that song and it's all about love and not taking each other for granted. But are the lyrics too sad? Like it's more about death instead of marriage?

I'm supposed to come up with three songs and my FH is doing the same then we're going to go from there bc we can't agree so far. Lol. Other songs I'm considering are:

At Last by Etta James
Here and Now by Luther Vandross
Let's Stay Together by Al Green

    I just heard that song and added it to our wedding playlist. I agree that it’s a song about love and not taking each other for granted. 👍🏽 Let us know what song you pick.

    I think it's a beautiful first dance song Smiley smile I would have chosen it if my FH had liked it and if it has been a waltz.
    I mean these lyrics? Totally perfect:
    ------------
    I found myself dreaming
    In silver and gold
    Like a scene from a movie
    That every broken heart knowsWe were walking on moonlight
    And you pulled me close
    Split second and you disappeared
    And then I was all aloneI woke up in tears
    With you by my side
    A breath of relief
    And I realized
    No, we're not promised tomorrowSo I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
    And I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye
    Wherever we're standing
    I won't take you for granted
    'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of timeSo I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
    I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose youIn the blink of an eye
    Just a whisper of smoke
    You could lose everything
    The truth is you never knowSo I'll kiss you longer baby
    Any chance that I get
    I'll make the most of the minutes
    And love with no regretsLet's take our time to say what we want
    Here's what we got before it's all gone
    'Cause no, we're not promised tomorrowSo I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
    I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye
    Wherever we're standing
    I won't take you for granted
    'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of timeSo I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
    I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you

    If that is the song you ha e your heart set on, GO FOR IT! Its nice that you guys are both taking the time to choose from lists together.❤ on a personal note, I Don't think it speaks of death either, I believe it speaks more of not taking any minute for granted and appreciating what you have....Do let us know what you guys decide!!!

    I fell in love with the song when I first heard it and it would be our first dance, but FH picked another one. We've added it to our playlist.

    All those songs are beautiful, and I encourage you to choose a song that is meaningful to you both. If you enjoy the song by John Legend and Meaghan Trainor, it will make for a spectacular first dance. Happy planning!

    I love the option of At Last by Etta James. At last, Perfect x Ed Sheeran, and Stay With You x John Legend are my top picks.



    Good Luck!
