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
