“This Everyday Love”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“Each morning the sun shines through my window/Lands on the face of a dream come true/I shuffle to the kitchen for my coffee/And catch up on the front page morning news/Then she walks up behind me and throws her arms around my neck/Just another normal thing I’ve come to expect.”
With a modern contemporary opening, “This Everyday Love” is a charming song about the comfort being in love brings to ordinary moments. It’s a sweetness that gets us through the day-to-day, a pleasure we can’t live without.
This is a fun song for your wedding playlist, especially as you embark on your happily ever after.
“My Wish”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“I hope the days come easy, and the moments pass slow/And each road leads you where you wanna go/And if you’re faced with the choice, and you have to choose/Hope you choose the one that means the most to you/And if one door opens to another door closed.”
Another song that successfully blends contemporary with country, this pick is an excellent selection for the father-daughter dance.
A crossover success of the aughts “My Wish” is every parent’s wish for their child. Love-filled lyrics flow in LeVox’s smooth tenor, and the overall warmth and tenderness of the song make it an excellent choice for the father-daughter dance.
“Love You Out Loud”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“You keep bringing out the free in me/What you do to my heart just makes me melt/And I don’t think I can resist/But I’ve never been one to kiss and tell/A love this true can’t be subdued/So I’m gonna let out a yell.”
With a bit of an early 2000s boy band vibe, “Love You Out Loud” is a joyous yet defiant love song about declaring your love for all the world to see.
Standing up and saying “I do” before all of your friends and family is the same thing, of course, but it can’t hurt to repeat that sentiment with this fun, upbeat pop tune.
“One Good Love”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“One good love/Can turn it all around/Take hold of a restless heart/And lead it back to solid ground…One good love/You bless all my memories/You soften the fall of my tears/And in my arms you’re more than enough/You’re one good love.”
An energetic and upbeat love song, “One Good Love,” touches both on love’s power to hurt and its power to redeem.
We’ve all faced disappointment in the game of love and had moments where we’d given up hope until we found that special someone, “One Good Love,” embodies these ideals while still being a fun dance song.
Choose this Rascal Flatts hit for your wedding song playlist, and you can’t go wrong.
“Bless the Broken Road”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“That every long lost dream led me to where you are/Others who broke my heart, they were like Northern stars/Pointing me on my way into your loving arms/This much I know is true/That God blessed the broken road.”
Opening with a softly played piano, this is the first song on the list to qualify as a ballad. The course of true love never did run smooth, and “Bless the Broken Road” embraces this sentiment and expresses gratitude for the heartbreak that led to true love.
Even though this tender ballad references previous lovers, we’d still recommend it for a first dance as the focus is firmly on the present, with “Bless the Broken Road” pointing toward your happy ever after.
“Rewind”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“Oh I float the moon back up in the sky/Put a cork back into that sweet red wine/Put your midnight hair back up/So you can let it fall one more time/Untouch your skin/Unkiss your lips and kiss ’em again/So good so right, this is one night/I’m wishing I could rewind.”
A first kiss so good we gotta do it again? This contemporary bit of country pop has sweet toe-curling lyrics that deserve a place on your wedding playlist for the imagery it invokes alone.
A song about cherishing the beauty of moments we can never relive, “Rewind” isn’t just an option for your reception playlist but maybe even your first dance wedding song.
“I Melt”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“When you light those candles/Up there on that mantle, setting the mood/Well, I just lie there staring/Silently preparing to love on you/Well, I can feel the heat from across the room/Ain’t it wild what a little flame can make you wanna do.”
Passionate and inspired “I Melt” peaked at #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles. A sensuous and somewhat sultry ballad, you’ll definitely want to play this during your reception.
LeVox’s vocals are warm and seductive throughout, and though it’s a bit of a departure from the group’s usual style, “I Melt” is just plain irresistible.
“Yours if you Want It”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“And every bit of love left in this beat up, banged up, scarred up heart/That’s been waitin’ on a girl like you/I know it ain’t much, but it comes alive with every touch/Every kiss already feels like you own it/Baby, it’s yours if you want it/It’s yours if you want it.”
This charming, uptempo pop song deserves a place on your wedding playlist!
The mix of contemporary pop and country musical stylings makes this a fun toe-tapper of a song. Meanwhile, Gary LeVox’s clear, crisp tenor is a joy to listen to as he uses his full range throughout.
With lyrics that would make any woman’s heart flutter, “Yours if You Want It” is a must for your wedding playlist.
“I Won’t Let Go”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“It hurts my heart/To see you cry/I know it’s dark/This part of life/Oh it finds us all (finds us all)/And we’re too small/To stop the rain/Oh but when it rains.”
A traditional ballad, “I Won’t Let Go,” is beautifully performed and sung by Rascal Flatts. Gary LeVox’s tenor is clear as he sings warm, sweeping lyrics promising “he won’t let go.” The words themselves are nearly wedding vows, sharing the same sentiment.
The beauty of this song is that while it’s full of love and promises, it isn’t strictly romantic. The lyrics are very loving, but they could just as easily be between lovers, siblings, or parent-to-child, meaning you could easily play this one as a first dance or a father-daughter dance.
Whatever you choose, you’ll want to be sure to add this enchanting ballad to the list.
“Life Is a Highway”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“There was a distance between you and I (between you and I)/A misunderstanding once/But now we look it in the eye, ooh, yeah/Mmm, yeah (whoo!)/There ain’t no load that I can’t hold/A road so rough, this I know/I’ll be there when the light comes in/Tell ’em we’re survivors.”
No Rascal Flatts playlist would be complete without their smash, crossover hit of 2006, “Life Is a Highway.” With mass appeal, this song was everywhere in 2006, and even in 2022, it’s still a fun, classic party jam.
While it’s not a love song, the themes present in “Life Is a Highway” can undoubtedly be applied to a couple about to embark on the journey of marriage, making this not only a fun song for your playlist but perhaps a perfect choice for your recessional.
