hi, I need song ideas for a 50th wedding anniversey. Broadway is always fun, but it doesn't have to be. I really want to sing the prayer but I have no one to sing it with! And I was considering "the human heart" from Once on this Island, because I just learned it and it would kind of make sense. But anyway, post!
What about In whatever time we have from children of eden or possibly When I look at you from Scarlet pimpernel
Wow, talk about a romance killer with "When I Look At You." It's about a relationship that's died.

My Cup Runneth Over from "I Do! I Do!"
The Folks Who Live On The Hill by Kern & Hammerstein
Another Day from RENT
HA!!
"All I Ask of You" - Phantom of the Opera
And if you want to be humorous, "Timeless to Me" from Hairspray.
"You Are Love" from SHOW BOAT.
Its timeless lyrics and lilting tune would fit any romantic occasion.
My boyfriend is actually arranging a song for his accapella group to sing at his parent's anniversary. "Longer" by Dan Fogelberg. It's a really beautiful song. Just the first thing that popped into my head!

The Human Heart is a perfect song....
When I Look At You is a horrible pick..... it is about love lost and when I see you I see the face of someone I used to love. YIKES!
But also--
In Whatever Time We Have is a good one.
So I guess I second Dickon....
you guys are totally right...i'm a little out of it today...i think i was listening to it as i posted...a GOOD choice would be Forever Yours from Once on this Island and previous one i gave... whooo...long day
Here's my two cents: "I Turned The Corner" (TMM) and "Not While I'm Around" (Sweeney Todd). I know, I know, I bring that one up a lot, but it's such a lovely song!
