Song for 1st birthday slideshow?? And how do I get it?

I just spent 5+ hours creating this slideshow for DD's 1st b-day this saturday. We're going to show it on the projector. Im happy with it, its not as good as CaMacho's (your amazing by the way, I would hire you LOL) but im satified with it.

Last thing is adding a song. Any suggestions? I want something that'll make people cry lol, just kidding... not really though!. But seriously something with meaning behind it. But not so sappy you'll feel down lol..

Also, once I have this great song picked out how do I get it? My DH and I dont listen to music all that much so we dont have Itunes, etc. I have no clue how to GET it. Can someone help w/that?

Thank you!!

I've downloaded music through amazon and it was easy. Went right into my itunes on my computer.

Some songs we were considering (besides Dog Days that we used), we wanted kinda upbeat and/or fun:

Martina McBride - Happy Girl
Barenaked Ladies - If I had $1M dollars
Switchfoot - This is Home
Randy Newman - We Belong Together (from the end of toy story 3!!)
You've Got a Friend in Me - both english and spanish version from toy story 3

I am doing this for DS and so far I am using My Wish by Rascall Flatts. As far as downloading, Im not sure. I have itunes through my iphone and ipod so i just get the songs from there.

Also, the song Raine by Bret Michaels really has beautiful words in it. He wrote it for his daughter.

i'm LOVING this song lately.... he's a christian singer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9ksMpwqjXQ

and here's some of the lyrics

Long Before You Drew Your First Breath
A Dream Was Coming True

God Wanted to Give A Gift To The World
So He Wrapped It Up In You

Every Step That You’ve Taken
Every Move That You Make
Is Part Of His Plan

You Were Meant To Be Touching
The Lives That You Touch
And Meant To Be Here
Making This World So Much More
Than It Would Be Without You In It

You Were Meant To Be Bringing
The Gifts That You Bring
And Singing The Songs
You’ve Been Given To Sing

You Are Perfectly, Wonderfully,
Beautifully Meant To Be
You Were Meant To Be

Long Before You Took Your First Fall
You stumbled to the ground
God started telling the story of you to the angles around
Every failure and victory
Everything inbetween
Its all in his hand

You Were Meant To Be Touching
The Lives That You Touch
And Meant To Be Here
Making This World So Much More
Than It Would Be Without You In It

You Were Meant To Be Bringing
The Gifts That You Bring
And Singing The Songs
You’ve Been Given To Sing

My song for DS is Lullaby by The Dixie Chicks. Makes me cry every time.

The song I always recommend for bday montages is Let Them Be Little by Billy Dean.
