Wedding Song
Tracy Chapman Lyrics
I've been having dreams and visions
In them you are always standing
Right beside me
I reach out for your hand
To see your arms extending
outstretched towards me
For you I don the veil
By your light
Others pale by comparison
My fate in this communion
I've been having dreams and visions
In them you are always standing
Right beside me
I reach out for your hand
To see your arms extending
Outstretched towards me
To you I give my pledge
I honor all that's good
In this life we're living
To think not only of myself
But of the greater union
Can I get a witness
There is salvation and rapture for the lonely
Can I get a witness
Bless this day sacred and holy
Sacred and Holy
I've been having dreams and visions
In them you are always standing
Right beside me
I reach out for your hand
To see your arms extending
Outstretched towards me
With you I am revealed
All my shame all my faults and virtues
Behold body mind and spirit
Heart and soul devoted all to you
Can I get a witness
There is salvation and rapture for the lonely
Can I get a witness
Bless this day sacred and holy
Sacred and Holy

Tracy Chapman helped restore singer/songwriters to the spotlight in the '80s. The multi-platinum success of Chapman's eponymous 1988 debut was unexpected, and it had lasting impact. Although Chapman was working from the same confessional singer/songwriter foundation that had been popularized in the '70s, her songs were fresh and powerful, driven by simple melodies and affecting lyrics. At the time of her first album, there were only a handful of artists performing such a style successfully, and her success ushered in a new era of singer/songwriters that lasted well into the '90s. Along with 10,000 Maniacs and R.E.M., Chapman's liberal politics proved enormously influential on American college campuses in the late '80s

I've been having dreams and visions
In them you are always standing
Right beside me
I reach out for your hand
To see your arms extending

For you I don the veil

I place my faith in love
My fate in this communion

My wife insisted we get married to this song when we wed in 2001. Just back for the nostalgic effects. We're going stronger than ever.

To my beloved where ever you are and whoever you are, this is our song baby! I love you. I know you are just as tired as I am of all the failed relationships. Hopefully we will eventually meet one day.❤

I'm curious. Has your beloved come into your life since you posted your comment 11 months ago?

Off the scale, I honestly believe this is one of the most beautiful and profound lyric I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot. Only picked up Telling Stories today and haven't stopped playing it yet, an absolute must have album <3
