I wonder if couples even have "their song" any more? I mean by that one that sticks, not something that lasts a week or month until something else is spit out from the fast stream of the MP3 download.
What a lovely gesture! And in answer to the comment above me, my husband and I have 'our song' and it's been 'ours' for over 15 years: It Had to be You.
This made me smile and remember that my mother once told me her favorite song was "I Only Have Eyes For You." I never knew if she and my Dad had a song they called their own. But I bet they did. They had a lot of "lover's secrets" they kept to themselves.

A sweet remembrance.
Nicely remembered. Whatever happened to blushing anyway?

I went to Nan and Grandad's 70th anniversary last year. They spent half the night dancing. I know there was a song, but I've no idea what it was.
