What do you think about the song “Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye” as a 1st wedding dance?

Posted on Tuesday in so you think you can dance | by

The song was originally song by the Casinos back in the 60s, its been covered lots of times including one by Neal McCoy.
The lyrics are:

Kiss me each morning for a million years
Hold me each evening by your side
Tell me you love me for a million years
Then if it don’t work out
If it don’t work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss
Soften my dreams with your sigh
Tell me you love me for a million years
Then if it don’t work out
If it don’t work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

If it don’t work out
If it don’t work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

If you must go I won’t grieve
If you wait a lifetime
Before you leave
But if you must go I won’t tell you no
Just so that we can say we tried
Tell me you love me for a million years
Then if it don’t work out
If it don’t work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

It was the first song my man and I danced to (the Neal McCoy version) and really the first time I remember thinking how much I truly loved him. Do you think it would be an alright 1st dance song? Or does the ‘then you can tell me goodbye’ part of it sound too much like a jinx?
please READ the lyrics, or preferably listen to the song…

The point is, wait a lifetime, or a million years, to say goodbye…in otherwords don't ever say it

It doe seem like an odd choice- but if it has meaning to you, then that’s what matters. It seems like you know you want to use it, so go ahead and enjoy your first dance.

    Bad Choice. Marriage is forever. It isn’t something you try out to see if it works. If you are marrying each other then you should both feel that it’s forever. I don’t think the guests at your wedding would like it either.

    i wouldn’t do it. i’ts you wedding!! you don’t want to talk about “goodbye’s” on your first dance song. . . do something like “my endless love” or “can I have this kiss” or “everything”. . check out songs by michael buble, luther vandross, enrique eglasias. . go to youtube and listen to them. good luck

    Toooo many negatives in a wedding song.

    A wedding should be positive and uplifting.

    If you both love the song then use it. In all honesty, guests don’t pay attention to the lyrics of the first dance song when it is played.
