Golden Road to Unlimited Devotion – The Grateful Dead…awesome! I tried to post the lyrics but I guess it was too long or something…

Golden Road to Unlimited Devotion? A song just about having fun and being happy…
See that girl, barefootin' along,
Whistlin' and singin', she's a carryin' on.
Got laughing in her eyes, dancing in her feet,
She's a neon-light diamond and she can live on the street.
Hey hey, hey, come right away
Come and join the party every day.
Hey hey, hey, come right away
Come and join the party every day.
Well everybody's dancin' in a ring around the sun
Nobody's finished, we ain't even begun.
So take off your shoes, child, and take off your hat.
Try on your wings and find out where it's at."

The Golden Road to Unlimited Devotion – not sappy AT ALL, just about being happy and having a good time…so Dead!
"See that girl, barefootin' along,
Whistlin' and singin', she's a carryin' on.
Got laughing in her eyes, dancing in her feet,
She's a neon-light diamond and she can live on the street.
Hey hey, hey, come right away
Come and join the party every day.
Hey hey, hey, come right away
Come and join the party every day.
Well everybody's dancin' in a ring around the sun
Nobody's finished, we ain't even begun.
So take off your shoes, child, and take off your hat.
Try on your wings and find our where it's at.
Hey, hey, hey, come right away
Come and join the party every day.
Hey hey, hey, come right away
Come and join the party every day.
Take a vacation, fall out for a while,
Summer's comin' in, and it's goin' outa style
Well, lie down smokin', honey, have yourself a ball,
Cause your mother's down in Memphis, won't be back 'till the fall.
Hey, hey, hey, come right away
Come and join the party every day."

I wouldn't cut it out just because it's long, although it is a song with a sad history…Box of Rain was written from the son to the father who was passing away, it's about life and death and the afterlife "believe it if you need it, or leave it if you dare." Sad to think of the song being about death, but a beautiful Dead song, my #1 favorite.

I THINK Taylor Swift covered this song for Alan Jackson's tribute and she changed the lyrics to fit a girl…but I'm not positive about it. You could probably find a version online.

My dad and I danced to "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys. He's a big fan of theirs.

I'm not getting married for another 4 years or so, but I really think we're gonna dance to either "Friday I'm in Love" or "Just Like Heaven" by the Cure. My dad and I are into those songs…and they're just our 'happy' songs.

My dad is a fan of classic country
does anyone know a waylon jennings / kris kristofferson / johnny cash or willie nelson song that might work for a first dance
