Let It Be Me

I can't dance. Seriously. So the thought of dancing in front of dozens of people was frightening and I dreaded it. But now I look back and I just want to relive that moment because it was so personal and just...happy. That's the most concise way to describe what it felt like. Just happy.

We chose Cat Power's version of "Sea of Love" for our first dance early on in the planning process. About two days before the wedding, we changed the song selection to Ray LaMontagne's "Let It Be Me" because it would allow us to enjoy the moment even longer and the lyrics are just so beautiful.

There comes a time
A time in everyone's life
When nothing seems to go their way
When nothing seems to turn out right
There may come a time
You just can't seem to find your place
For every door you open
Seems like you get two slammed in your face

And he held me close.

And we kissed...a lot.

That's when you need someone
Someone that you can call
When all your faith is gone
It feels like you can't go on
Let it be me
Let it be me
If it's a friend you need
Let it be me

Feels like you always coming up last
Pockets full of nothing
Ain't got no cash
Don't matter where you turn
You ain't got no place to stand

You reach out for something and they slap your hand

I remember all too well
Just how it feels to be all alone
You feel like you'd give anything
For just a little place you can call your own

That's when you need someone
Someone that you can call
When all your faith is gone
It feels like you can't go on
Let it be me

We managed to get through 4 minutes and 12 seconds without any tripping or stepping on toes. Success!
