Frank Sinatra is a popular choice for wedding ballads, and with lyrics like these, you can certainly see why!
4. A Groovy Kind Of Love – Phil Collins
“Wouldn’t you agree baby, you and me, we’ve got a groovy kind of love.
This is a bit of a quirky choice for the first dance song, but the lyrics are emotional and full of sentiments that are perfect for the bride and groom just embarking on their life together.
5. Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You – Frankie Valli
“You’re just too good to be true, can’t take my eyes off of you, you’d be like Heaven to touch, I wanna hold you so much.”
The first few opening lines of this classic ballad by Frankie Valli sums up the rest of the song beautifully, making it a wonderful choice for the first dance.
