Ok, as excited as I am to see Tom Petty this Sunday at The Lube (and Crosby, & Stills, & Nash...woo hoo!), I've decided maybe I'm not so excited to try to keep tempo with "Here Comes My Girl" as I nervously make my way down the aisle. While Tom is still invited to the reception, I have decided to invite another man to walk me down the aisle. The esteemed Mr. Billy Joel, circa 1977.
"She's Got a Way" is one of my FAVORITE songs by the piano man; the one that always made me mist up a bit, wishing that one day I'd have somebody who had that depth of emotion, those same feelings of awe, for me.
I float the idea by K, who makes me walk down the "aisle" of our kitchen to make sure it works, which it does, beautifully. Then, he shares a secret. It turns out that in the first version of his vows, the one that was scrapped for being a little too heavy on song lyrics, was mainly based on that song. So see, I found the man who wants to sing that song to me. With the help of our MP3 player, that is.
He's searching out the "best" version of the song as I type. I guess the song won't be a suprise, but the version will be. :)
