Lyrics to Better Together by Jack Johnson - Your ideal wedding first dance song with therightmusic.co.uk

Most wedding receptions will start with the brand new husband and wife having their first romantic dance as their life together begins.

After the first dance, tradition has two further dances. The first of these is with everyone dancing, but led by the bride and her father with the second again everyone, but led by the groom and his mother.

It's entirely upto you how many songs you have to start your new life together. Some only have one and invite their guests to join them half way through. Others have two and do the first on their own and invite all guests to join in on the second.

The only advice we can offer is to do what you feel is right. Some people hate the thought of dancing infront of their friends and family, other relish it.

One thing we really can help with is the choice of song. Unfortunataly when you listen to most slow songs, they are actually about people breaking up so not very suitable as a first dance! Here are the lyrics to a song that is about people being in love, Better Together by Jack Johnson, so you can see if the lyrics suit your situation. You can also hear an audio sample and check out some father/bride and mother/groom songs too, all by scrolling down.

Lyrics to Better Together
sung by Jack Johnson

There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoebox of photographs
With sepiatone loving
Love is the answer,
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing it's always better when we're together

Chorus
MMM it's always better when we're together
Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone
When the morning light sings
And brings new things
For tomorrow night you see
That they'll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
Into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression
I was somewhere in between
With only two
Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We'll Sit beneath the mango tree now

It's always better when we're together
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

MMmmmm MMMmmmm Mmmmmm
I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
And there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no, combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together.
