This much-loved song by Nashville country singer, Chris Stapleton, has become a favourite first dance song for many couples, but we think the sweet lyrics of Starting Over also makes for an ideal wedding ceremony reading. Like all great love songs it celebrates the idea that no matter what life throws at you, you will get through it together and be each other’s lucky charms.
Starting Over by Chris Stapleton
This might not be an easy time
There’s rivers to cross and hills to climb
And some days we might fall apart
And some nights might feel cold and dark
But nobody wins afraid of losing
And the hard roads are the ones worth choosing
Some day we’ll look back and smile
And know it was worth every mile
And it don’t matter to me
Wherever we are is where I wanna be
And honey, for once in our life
Let’s take our chances and roll the dice
And I can be your lucky penny
You can be my four leaf clover
Starting over
