A sentimental wedding gift for a bride and your first dance

Shoes slipping off onto parquet and a laugh against a collarbone give this first-dance example its private feeling inside a crowded room.

The words

Lyrics

The band counts in, the lights go low Give me your hand — here we go Your dress still smells like morning steam The pins they fussed in your hair Two hundred chairs all turned our way And I can't find one of them anywhere The room goes quiet as a held breath It's only us from here This is our first forever dance The floor was built for where you stand Every turn I get to take I'm taking with your hand in mine, my love One song, one ring, one chance — Our first forever dance You stepped out of your shoes just now Bare feet on the parquet shine You laugh against my collarbone The clock can keep its time, we'll keep ours Let the cameras flash and fade We won't remember them This is our first forever dance The floor was built for where you stand Every turn I get to take I'm taking with your hand in mine, my love One song, one ring, one chance — Our first forever dance Fifty years from now, some kitchen radio Will stumble on this song And we'll push back the chairs and find this exact slow sway Like we never once stopped dancing This is our first forever dance The floor was built for where you stand Every turn I get to take I'm taking with your hand in mine, my love One song, one ring, one chance — Our first forever dance The band can pack up slow tonight We're not done — hold tight

Behind the song

The story

The band counts in, the lights drop low, and two hundred turned chairs somehow vanish all at once. Her dress still smells like the morning's steam; the pins are still fussed into her hair. She steps out of her shoes onto the parquet and laughs against his collarbone, and the room goes quiet as a held breath. Fifty years on, a kitchen radio will stumble onto this and they'll push back the chairs and find the exact same sway. For the couple wanting three minutes that belong to absolutely no one else.

The story behind this Songbond listening example.

From this song to your gift

A sentimental wedding gift for a bride and your first dance

Shoes slipping off onto parquet and a laugh against a collarbone give this first-dance example its private feeling inside a crowded room. A wedding gift can preserve those few minutes for the couple to return to in the kitchens and years that follow.

A groom can give this to his bride as a first-dance keepsake when they both want the moment woven into their wedding plans.

How to give it

Choose any reception playback together, test the sound with the venue team and plan a comfortable dance length so the gift supports the day rather than adding pressure.
