Readings/Quotes from Music and Musicians

Love – Bob Marley

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”

Nothing Else Matters - Metallica

So close, no matter how far

Couldn’t be much more from the heart

Forever trust in who we are

And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way

Life is ours, we live it our way

All these words, I don’t just say

And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you

Every day for us something new

Open mind for a different view

And nothing else matters...

I Promise You - Johnny Cash

I promised you the day you marry me

I'll be everything to you that I should be

And while you're in the springtime of your years

You'll not know what it's like to shed a tear

I'll be the same through all that we go through

I promise you I promise you

I promise you for richer or for poorer

I'll more than share each pain that you endure

And when you're in the autumn of your years

You'll call me in the night and I'll be near

I love you and I'll let you know I do

I promise you I promise you

I promise you for better or for worse

I'll stand by you as I did at the first

And when you're in the winter of your years

I'll be right by your side to dry your tears

Yes I'll be the same through all that we go through

I promise you I promise you

I promise you I promise you

I Love You This Much - Bread

I love you this much.

Enough to do anything for you, give my life, my love, my heart and my soul to you and for you.

Enough to willingly give all of my time, efforts, thoughts, talents, trust and prayers to you.

Enough to want to protect you, care for you, guide you, hold you, comfort you, listen to you and cry to you and with you.

Enough to be completely comfortable with you, act silly around you, never have to hide anything from you and be myself with you.

I love you enough to share all of my sentiments, dreams, goals, fears, hopes and worries, my entire life with you.

Enough to want the best for you, to wish for your successes and to hope for the fulfilment of all your endeavors.

Enough to keep my promises to you and pledge my loyalty and faithfulness to you.

Enough to cherish your friendship, adore your personality, respect your values and see you for who you are.

I love you enough to fight for you, compromise for you and sacrifice myself for you if need be.

Enough to miss you incredibly when we’re apart, no matter what length of time.

Enough to believe in our relationship, to stand by it through the worst of times, to have faith in our strength as a couple and to never give up on us.

Enough to spend the rest of my life with you, be there for you when you need or want me and never, ever want to leave you or live without you.

I love you this much.
