Default Title helpppppppp!

I've been working on this LO of our first dance for FOREVER. 2 weeks now almost. I'm STUUUUUUUCK on the title. I was trying to use the song title, but "Come" or "Away" with the rest of the title around it smaller just seems weird.

Can anyone help? The song was "Come Away with Me" by Norah Jones. Lyrics are below. It's a single B&W photo of us dancing.

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies

And I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come?

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me


ETA: Here's the LO so far:


Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Can we see the layout in progress? I'm a very visual person... maybe seeing the photo & layout will help?

What about the line "I want to walk with you" either in whole or in part.

How about you use the song title, just with a tiny alpha? Or have "With me" bigger and come away smaller?

i would put the entire song where the journaling is, but omit the last line. where the title is - that is where i would put the last line of the song, overlapping the alpha over the song itself.
like la - i would use a stamp or a scripty alpha.
i would then use a tag hanging off the string to say that this was our first dance.

Do you want to write your own journaling on the place for it, or want to write the lyrics there? If you want to have your journaling there, I would put the lyrics faded into the background on the left side (it creates a sort of T with the journaling then) and choose one of the lyrics line as a title. Either the title of the song or perhaps "Safe in your arms" if it doesn't seem too sweet.

Colleen, I love that song. And we actually used it for our last song when we got married... (5 years ago!)
