Bob Dylan, "Wedding Song"
Stephen D Carey
Years ago I had a Dylan tape, the title of which I do not remember.
Among other songs it had "May God Bless and Keep You" at the beginning
and the end of the recording. It also had a strangely gushing, romantic
song entitled, I believe, "The Wedding Song," which contains some
awesome lines including, "..I love you more than blood." I desperately
need the lyrics to this song, but have not been able to find either the
song title or the tape/cd anywhere. If anyone out there knows what I am
blathering about and can help me find these lyrics, I would be eternally
grateful.

cd about 3 months ago but it sounds like you had a different version of
it. May God Bless and Keep You Always is actually titled Forever Young
and there are 2 versions of it on the cd (one slow, one fast) but on here
they are back to back (tracks #6 and #7). I'll give you the track listing
and you can see if anything else seems familiar.
1. On a Night Like This
2. Going Going Gone
3. Tough Mama
4. Hazel
5. Something There is About You
6. Forever Young (slow)
7. Forever Young (fast)
8. Dirge
9. You Angel You
10. Never Say Goodbye
11. Wedding Song
I have seen this version of Planet Waves available at alot of places. I
would reccomend you pick it up. Not all of the songs work but there are
several, like Wedding Song and Forever Young which make it a must.
Here are the lyrics to Wedding Song which are accurate except the one
place that I noted (?).
Wedding Song
Written By Bob Dylan
I love you more than ever
more than time and more than love
I love you more than money
and more than the stars above
I love you more than madness
more than dreams upon the sea
I love you more than life itself
you mean that much to me
Ever since you walked right in
the circle's been complete
I say goodbye to haunted rooms
and faces in the street
In the courtyards of the jester
which is hidden from the sun
I love you more than ever
and I haven't yet begun
You breathed on me and made my life
a richer one to live
When I was deep in poverty
you taught me how to give
Dry my tears up from the dreams
and pull me from the hole
I love you more than ever
and it burns me to the soul
Baby baby it's one two three (?)
once more you saved my life
Eye for eye and tooth for tooth
your love cuts like a knife
My thought of you don't ever rest
they kill me if I lie
But I'd sacrifice the world for you
to watch my senses die
The tune that is yours and mine
to play upon this earth
We'll play it out the best we know
whatever it is worth
Whats lost is lost we can't regain
what went down in the flood
And happiness to me is you
and I love you more than blood
It's never been my duty
to remake the world at large
or is it my intentions
to sound a battle charge
Cause I love you more than all of that
with a love that doesn't bend
and if there is eternity
I'll love you there again
Oh can't you see that you were born
to stand by my side
and I was born to be with you
you were born to be my bride
You're the other half of who I am
you're the missing piece
and I love you more than ever
with a love that doesn't cease
You turn the tide on me each day
and teach my eyes to see
Just being next to you
is a natural thing for me
And I could never let you go
no matter what goes on
And I love you more than ever
now that the past is gone
Great song. Enjoy!
