True Love Ways
Entering my personal Song Hall of Fame... "True Love Ways" by Buddy Holly.
At my first wedding (to F in 1990), this song was for our first dance. It was going to be "Strangers" by the Kinks but I forgot to bring the CD to the reception. Thinking quickly, we had to choose a replacement song for the first dance which the DJ was likely to have... so I came up with "True Love Ways."
I've read on Wikipedia that Buddy Holly actually wrote this song for his wife as a wedding gift... recorded it shortly after marrying in 1958 and before dying in the airplane crash in early 1959. The song was released in 1960, posthumously.
Just you know why
Why you and I
Will by and by
Know true love ways
Sometimes we'll sigh
Sometimes we'll cry
And we'll know why
Just you and I know true love ways
