Billy Joel’s Piano Man

Upon opening this thread it popped into my head from the deepest, darkest abcess of my mind (so deep and dark it took me about three minutes to think of the name of the song) so I feel compelled to suggest it.

A good duet would be “From This Moment”, as performed by Faith Hill and Tim McGuire. It’s the perfect wedding-themed sappy love song- also, it’s great for the alto/tenor range.

\*\*Perhaps Love \*\*

My brother’s friends had someone sing it at their wedding, and it was so pretty and absolutely perfect. I liked how it wasn’t a show-off your voice song, it was just a simple melody with nice lyrics.

- If I should live forever and all my dreams come true,  
My memories of love will be of you.\*

**Song For the Asking** - off of Simon & Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water (or the Best of album)

…thinkin’ it over I’d be more than glad to change my ways for the asking. Ask me and I will play all the love that I hold inside.
