DJ Benen Tierney's Choice for Christmas Wedding First Dance:
When I Was A Little Girl - Gwen Stefani
Steadfast forecast this was always meant to be
Sent down by the angels
Heartbreak can't fade all the plans that were made
By a baby in a manger
Bright light so bright it was shining like a north star
Answer to a prayer
How could I have known, that you would come along
When I was a little girl
I wondered who I'd give all my love to
I asked Santa who he'd recommend
It's hard to believe I was so innocent
As a little girl looking at the world
Didn't know that love could break me
I was lying in my tears on the ground
Couldn't see where God would take me
Here I am now looking at you
Got me thinking that love could save me
How could I have known, that you would come along
When I was a little girl
I wondered who I'd give all my love to
I asked Santa who he'd recommend
It's hard to believe I was so innocent
When I was a little girl
I had love at the top of my wish list
All my dreams were so unlimited
It's hard to believe I was so innocent
Why do you feel so much like home to me (Home to me)
Why do you feel so much like home to me
When I was a little girl
I wondered who I'd give all my love to
I asked Santa who he'd recommend
It's hard to believe I was so innocent
When I was a little girl
I had love at the top of my wish list
All my dreams were so unlimited
It's hard to believe I was so innocent
Why do you feel so much like home to me
