16 Beyoncé Lyrics That Would Make Epic Wedding Vows

Beyoncé recently dropped a new single, “Die With You,” to celebrate her seventh wedding anniversary with husband Jay-Z. It's yet another one of her love songs that’s perfect for quoting at the altar.

By Charli Penn · April 8, 2015October 27, 2020
01
“Die With You”

“Darling I wake up just to sleep with you/I open my eyes so I could see with you/and I live so I can die with you.”

Instagram
02
“Dangerously In Love”

“Baby I love you/You are my life/My happiest moments weren’t complete/If you weren’t by my side/You’re my relation/In connection to the sun/With you next to me/There’s no darkness I can’t overcome/You are my raindrops/I am a seed/With you and God, who’s my sunlight/I bloom and grow so beautifully”

Tumblr/Danny Clinch
03
“Flaws and All”

“I don’t know why you love me/And that’s why I love you/You catch me when I fall/Accept me flaws and all/And that’s why I love you/I neglect you when I’m working/When I need attention I tend to nag/I’m a host of imperfection/And you see past all that/I’m a peasant by some standards/But in your eyes I’m a queen/You see potential in all my flaws/and that’s exactly what I mean.”

“Dance For You”

“I wanna keep it how it is so you can never say how it used to be!”

“Dance For You”

“I just wanna show you how much I appreciate you, yes/Wanna show you how much I’m dedicated to you, yes/Wanna show you how much I will forever be true, yes/Wanna show you how much you got your girl feeling good/Wanna show you how much, how much you understood/Wanna show you how much I value what you say/Not only are you loyal, you’re patient with me babe/Wanna show you how much I really care about your heart/Wanna show you how much I hate being apart.”

06
“1+1”

“If I ain’t got nothing/I got you/If I ain’t got something (I don’t give a damn)/’Cause I got it with you
I don’t know much about algebra (but I know)/One plus one equals two/And it’s me and you/That’s all we’ll have when the world is through (’cause baby)/We ain’t got nothing without love/Darling you got enough for the both of us (so come on baby)”

Beyonce/ Instagram
07
“Rather Die Young”

“What I’m telling you/I’m giving you my life, it’s in your hands/And what I’m gonna do/Is be a woman and you can be a man/And I wanna say/Nobody understands what we’ve been through/I rather give up everything/Than to live my life without you”

08
“End Of Time”

“Come take my hand/I won’t let you go/I’ll be your friend/I will love you so deeply/I will be the one to kiss you at night/I will love you until the end of time.”

Instagram
09
“Halo”

“Remember those walls I built?/Well, baby they’re tumbling down/And they didn’t even put up a fight
They didn’t even make a sound/I found a way to let you in/But, I never really had a doubt/Standing in the light of your halo/I got my angel now.”

“XO”

“In the darkest night hour (in the darkest night hour)/I’ll search through the crowd (I’ll search through the crowd)/Your face is all that I see/I’ll give you everything/Baby, love me lights out.”

Instagram
12
“Crazy In Love”

“The way that you know what I thought I knew/It’s the beat my heart skips when I’m with you/But I still don’t understand/Just how your love can do what no one else can.”

Instagram
13
“Halo”

“Everywhere I’m looking now/I’m surrounded by your embrace/Baby, I can see your halo/You know you’re my saving grace/You’re everything I need and more/It’s written all over your face/Baby, I can feel your halo/I pray it won’t fade away”

“Blue”

“Sometimes these walls seem to cave in on me/When I look in your eyes, I feel alive/Some days we say words that don’t mean a thing/But when you holding me tight, I feel alive”

Instagram
15
“After All Is Said And Done”

“So here we are in the still of this moment/Fear is gone, hope lives on//We found our happy ending/For there’s only love (only love)/And this sweet, sweet love/After all is, all is said and done”

Instagram
16
“Lift Off”

“We gon’ take it to the moon, take it to the stars/How many people you know can take it this far?/I’m supercharged/I’m ’bout to take this whole thing to Mars”
