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.

You could always do the instrumental? Don’t know the lyrics.

I think it's a beautiful first dance song 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!
