Topic: Slow Dance Songs.....

What are your favorites .
My wife and I love the old tune " A Whiter Shade of Pale" . We just can't hear it without dancing to it , no matter where we are......
   A while back we were playing a party and Elvis Presley's " Can't Help Falling in Love With You " came up on our play list . My partner sings that one and I do the picking on it . I was asking around if anybody else could do the playing so I could dance with my wife .........
L O L ......... Some of these songs just hit me that way.....

Re: Slow Dance Songs.....

Lover Lay Down - Dave Matthews Band
Cruisin' (Cruise with me Baby) - Smokey Robinson
2nd Time Around - Sinatra
What A Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
I Could Not Ask For More - Edwin McCain (the wife says that's engraved in my wedding ring, but I've never read it - my eyes are too old!)

Agree with some others here also: Wonderful Tonight (live version) and Unchained are also some of the wife's favs
