Be Here to Love Me

"Your eyes seek conclusion in all this confusion of mine
Though you and I both know it's only the warm glow of wine
That's got you to feeling this way, but I don't care,
I want you to stay
Just to hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

Children are dancin', the gamblers are chancin' their all
The window's accusing the door of abusing the wall
But who cares what the night watchmen say
The stage has been set for the play
So just hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

The moon's come and gone but a few stars hang on to the sky
Well the wind's runnin' free but it ain't up to me to ask why
But the poets are demanding their pay
And they've left me with nothin' to say
'cept hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today
Just hold me and tell me that you'll be here to love me today
Just hold me and tell me that you'll be here to love me today"

Tyler and Jennie's first dance, so of course I had to use the song from their first dance to accompany it. It was the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to. Jennie, Tyler's now WIFE!, is a twin and her twin sister Erin, and also maid of honor, gave a toast at the wedding that brought tears to my eyes, but I didn't cry completely.

"Since birth, Jennie and I have shared everything. At 3 we shared awful bowl cuts, thanks, Mom! At 5 we shared bunk beds and by the 7th grade we shared a boyfriend named _____ ( forget who she said)"

and then, the part that choked me up: "But when Jennie and Tyler started dating our junior year of high school, I knew that I would have to share Jennie with someone else."

Erin, being the clown of the family, ended it on a funny but wonderful note: "You guys are perfect for each other, and I will share her with you, Tyler. After all, I've always wanted a brother that looked like a GQ model!"

A beautiful wedding, a beautiful reception, it was perfect.
