In these arms of mine
And you’ll never stand alone
Love is standing by”

Like a sweet magnolia tree

That’s why we’ve made it through the years
I was made to love him
Worship and adore him”

Chances are, unless you already have your first dance song in mind, you’ll be able to find one in the list above. For example, look no further than ‘I Will Always Love You‘. It doesn’t get much better than that.
