Lyrics you'll love: "You'll be my soft and sweet/I'll be your strong and steady/You'll be my glass of wine/I'll be your shot of whiskey/You'll be my sunny day/I'll be your shade tree/You'll be my honeysuckle/I'll be your honey bee"

This song was released in 2011 and earned Blake Shelton a Grammy nomination. The sweet lyrics make it the perfect first dance song if you want something more upbeat. It would also make a great addition to your cocktail hour playlist.

2. "God Gave Me You," Red River Blue

Lyrics you'll love: "'Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs/God gave me you for the days of doubt/And for when I think I lost my way/There are no words here left to say, it's true/God gave me you"

This song was originally written and recorded by contemporary Christian music singer Dave Barnes. Shelton heard it and decided to record it himself.

4. "Boys 'Round Here," Based On a True Story

Lyrics you'll love: "Yea the boys 'round here/Drinking that ice cold beer/Talkin' 'bout girls, talkin' 'bout trucks/Runnin' them red dirt roads out, kicking up dust"

This upbeat country song off of Shelton's Based on a True Story album is a celebration of Southern living. While this is obviously not the appropriate choice for a first dance or walk down the aisle, it definitely deserves a spot on the groom's getting ready playlist.

The mid-tempo and fun lyrics make this song a great fit for a song to have on while you're eating dinner or mixing and mingling with guests. It'll keep the mood lively but won't detract from whatever may be coming next in the wedding timeline.

If there's one thing Blake Shelton can do, it's craft superb love songs that always capture a romantic moment. In this smooth, sexy song you can feel the chemistry between him and who he's singing to. If you dance along to this in front of your guests, they're bound to feel it too.

8. "I Need My Girl," Bringing Back the Sunshine

Lyrics you'll love: "I need my girl, I need my baby/I need you, ninety miles an hour down the interstate/Headlights shining in the driveway/In my arms, and I need you right now"

Shelton's soft introduction builds to the catchy upbeat chorus in this tune made for a wedding. The message about doing anything to be close to the one you love will resonate with you and your guests.

9. "A Guy With a Girl," If I'm Honest

Lyrics you'll love: "I'm just the guy with the girl everybody wants to know/Wishin' you were there alone/Wonderin' how I ever got your little hand in mine/Lookin' over at ya like "ain't she beautiful?"/I'm invisible but I stand right there and smile/You're right beside me, oh and I see the same thing they're seein'"

We love that the message of this song is all about feeling incredibly lucky to be with the one you're with. The energetic nature makes it a great wedding reception song you can belt at the top of your lungs.

10. "One Night Girl," If I'm Honest

Lyrics you'll love: "I know/That I'm just now getting to be somebody that you know/Kick your seat on back 'cause girl we're gonna take it real slow/We already turned last night into tomorrow/And we're just getting started"

That feeling of never wanting an amazing night or relationship moment to end is captured in this lovely melody. The verses are slow and perfect for swaying and the chorus is high energy and exciting, making it an ideal first dance song.

11. "I'll Name the Dogs," Texoma Shore

Lyrics you'll love: "I'll hang the pictures, you'll hang the stars/You'll pick the paint, I'll pick a guitar/Sing you a song out there with the crickets and the frogs/You'll name the babies and I'll name the dogs, yeah"

This fun and upbeat jam is chock full of cute lyrics and works for all of your wedding day moments. Whether your wedding musicians play it during dinner or for your first dance, it's definitely a romantic bop!

12. "Turnin' Me On," Texoma Shore

Lyrics you'll love: "Knows how to set me on fire/She's always holding the match/And when my body's beside hers/There ain't no turning back"

This slow and sultry jam paired with the sexy lyrics make this an ideal option for your cocktail hour. It's soft enough to not overpower the room while you're mingling but will still make a good impression on guests.

13. "Get Ready," Get Ready

Lyrics you'll love: "If you wanna good time/If you wanna good time/Let me hear you say, 'Hey'/Everybody say, 'Hey'"

Blake Shelton teamed up with Pitbull on his album Get Ready and lent his vocals to the title track. This song is a departure from Shelton's usual sound but is 100 percent guaranteed to get everyone up on the dance floor.

14. "Hangover Due," Texoma Shore

Lyrics you'll love: "Me and you are hangover due/I'm just saying/Wanna wake up girl with our heads a little banging/Laying in them tangled up sheets just laughing/Trying to piece together just what the hell happened"

Sometimes the big moments are the little moments. At least that's what Shelton's trying to tell us in this cute song about a couple who went out together and woke up with a hangover. If this sounds like you and your S.O., why not throw it on the wedding day playlist?

15. "I Lived It," Texoma Shore

Lyrics you'll love: "Oh, you think I'm talking crazy/In a different language you might not understand

Oh, that's alright/That's just the kind of life that made me who I am/Just taking my mind on a visit back in time 'cause I miss it"

If you're on the hunt for a song to dance to with a parent, grandparent, or sibling — call off your search. These lyrics capture the feeling of childhood nostalgia in a way that only you and your family will understand.

16. "Why Me," Texoma Shore

Lyrics you'll love: "Why me/Out of everybody baby/Why me/You could have picked anybody/Why me/When I see you looking at me/I gotta ask/What did I do/To get to be the one you gave your heart to"

Sometimes you might just find yourself asking "how did I get so lucky in love?" If that's a recurring theme for you and your S.O., consider this song for your first dance. The slow build makes the chorus all the more exciting and energetic.

17. "Nobody But You," Fully Loaded: God's Country

Lyrics you'll love: "Wanna say it now, wanna make it clear/For only you and God to hear/When you love someone, they say you set 'em free/But that ain't gonna work for me"

Blake Shelton and his wife Gwen Stefani teamed up for this gorgeous duet. Not only does the song highlight how powerful their voices are and how well they blend together, but you can practically feel the love between the two of them as they sing it. It's definitely first dance-worthy!

18. "Happy Anywhere," Body Language

Lyrics you'll love: "I'm running wide open/I was born with my feet in motion/But since I met you, I swear/I could be happy anywhere/Any map dot location/You're always my destination"

Shelton's other duet with his wife Gwen Stefani has just as sweet of a sentiment as his other one. Sprinkle this one anywhere throughout your wedding day like your first dance, processional, recessional, or getting ready playlist. You can't go wrong.

19. "The Girl Can't Help It," Body Language

Lyrics you'll love: "Yeah, she just smilin' that smile that her momma gave her/Swingin' those hips, she sure is makin'/Those blue jeans talk and the boys all fight/The one you want with you on a Saturday night"

Another fun and upbeat jam that can work on a getting ready playlist or cocktail hour if that's the vibe you're going for. We're all about female empowerment, especially when it's coming from a partner.

20. "We Can Reach The Stars," Body Language (Deluxe)

Lyrics you'll love: "And I know we can reach the stars/That's how far my love will go for you/I know we can reach the stars/You've already hung the moon"

The string melody in this song lends itself to be a processional song. It builds slightly in the chorus but would work as a beautiful instrumental piece during the ceremony. If the lyrics are part of the charm for you, it's definitely one to consider dancing to.
