For You I Know I'd Even Try to Turn the Tide

When my husband and I were planning our wedding, choosing songs.. We didn't pick your typical song list. 


Our guests walked into Random songs such as "You" by Evanescence, "Chapel Of Love" by the Dixie Cups to many other random and sometimes cliche wedding songs. That was just the begining.

Our parents walked in to "The Prayer" by Charlotte Church & Josh Groban (my mom boo-hooed).
Then, the wedding starts getting fun. My husband picked out "Anchor's Aweigh" for the bridal party, then I picked out a beautiful non-traditional wedding march for me.

We wanted our wedding to be about "Us". Music is part of that.
(before we started dating and early into dating, we would send bits and pieces of song lyrics to each other.)

We caught hell for our Unity song, but it was perfect for us. Our Unity song was "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica. I can still hear family throwing a fit because of that choice, but I would never go back and change it if I had the option.

Our Reception was full of more random songs. Our cake cutting song was "Just Eat it" by Weird Al, Garter toss was "Another one bites the dust" by Queen, and my Bouquet toss was done to "Girls just want to have fun" by Cyndi Lauper. Our wedding was Fun, free, laid back.. Just like we feel with each other.

If you noticed, I left the Recessional/ When he and I walk down the aisle as Mr. & Mrs out. That is because it is why I wrote this post. It is on my "While you're Away Playlist". The song is a favorite to both my husband and myself.

"Walk The Line" by Johnny Cash. Have you ever Really listened to the lyrics? My husband and I felt it to be a perfect song for us. Today, it popped up while listening to Pandora. I felt like I had fallen in love with my husband all over again. Flooded with Memories, the song lyrics made me smile. I even had to email him about it. I know it will make him smile. He has a constant reminder of this song with him on deployment. Our first Christmas together as Mr. & Mrs. I got him an iPod with the lyrics "For You I Know I'd Even Try to Turn the Tide". So, every time he uses his iPod, he has that reminder of our wedding. My reminder came tonight through Pandora (Thanks Pandora!).

There's no needing to explain the lyrics.






I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line

You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line

You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
