S/O Father-Daughter Dance

in Texas-Dallas and Ft. Worth
Now that we'e gotten all weepy on SA with the dance thing, and Jordan posted a link to one... Share one to your dance...

Doesn't have to be Father-Daughter, can be First Dance, Mother-Daughter, whatever. I'm just feeling super sappy today.

This is my F/D dance. It came down to James Taylor or the Moody Blues and James Taylor won me over when I went back through his greatest hits CD. The lyrics just remind me of how my dad's mood lightens every time I go to visit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbPdNcJaj2A

I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

    *chuckle* I am glad me and Manda could start the sappy train today. 

    Obviously, my F/D is Heartland's "I loved her first".  It was nearly Jessica Simpson's "You dont have to let go"  Bothed linked below.

    First dance with Al will be Better Together by Jack Johnson.  And our Private Last Dance will be Addison Road's "Hope now' :)

    Heartland - I Loved Her First:

    My F/D dance was I loved her first by Heartland.  I had a song for my step dad and me to dance too but we didn't get to dance so my sisters and mom and I did a little dance together.  he didn't have to be by Brad Paisely was that song.  Still can't listen to it now 6 months later without crying.

    I have 3 choices right now for my first dance.

    http://wendiandedward.weebly.com/first-dance.html

    If we go with one of the first two (I'm pushing for the Serendipity song), I will prob walk down to the cover of Power of Love (#3)

    Our First Dance song was "This Magic Moment" by Ben E King & The Drifters (DH picked) & we did a choreographed Rumba that had lots of twirls that I messed up pretty good by stepping on my dress.    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX1mBpsWoMI

    F/D - M/S Dance was " I Hope you Dance" by Leann Womack

    Last Dance (Everyone)  was "Beat It' by MJ  (DH also picked this, ugh)

    Private Last Dance - " I Cross my Heart" George Strait


    I didn't post links to the last 3 because I think everyone knows them pretty much. :)

    I actually first heard about this song on a wedding bee post and the second I listened to it I had Matt listen and we knew it was perfect, because I cant imagine any happier feeling than that private last dance.

    Intro was "Love Song" by Taylor Swift, mainly for the line "Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone, I love you and that's all there is to know".

    Father/Daughter dance was "Father Daughter" by Paul Simon. 
    I'm gonna watch you shine
    Gonna watch you grow
    Gonna paint a sign
    So you'll always know
    As long as one and one is two
    There could never be a father
    Who loved his daughter more than I love you

    And my MIL picked the creepiest song ever to dance with her son.  "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion. 

    I cry every time I think of our father/daughter dance.

    F/D dance is Heartland, as discussed in SA Wednesday :)

    Our first dance will be "Unchained Melody" by Righteous Brothers, because that's the song FI sang at karaoke when he gave me my engagement ring. I was pulling for that Jason Mraz duet, "Lucky," but I don't think my FI has ever heard of it. So I think that'll just go on the wedding video :)

    ETA: Tiffany, I love "This Magic Moment." That might have to go on the wedding DVD, too.

    I will personally give ANYONE $5 who can actually say they've heard this song before:

    This was our first dance song:

    This was our Private last dance:

    Daddy/Daughter: Makes me cry every time. 

    OMG-why?! Why would you start this thread! I'm crying now!

    ETA: The $5 is regarding our first dance song, not all of them. :)

    Great songs, y'all.  I find myself listening to every song these days for it's potential to be a part of our wedding.  FI is in no way a sap--he leaves that all for me--so, I am doing the picking and he gets veto power.  Right now, I like the song "When I Say I Do" by Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black for our first dance.   Sorry, blocked from addidng a sound bite.  For F/D dance, I am leaning towards "The Way You Look Tonight".  Can't go wrong with Ol Blue Eyes.  That's as far as I have gotten...

    LOVE that song!!

    I can't provide links since I'm blocked from YouTube @ work, but here we go:

    First Dance: 'Your Everything' by Keith Urban

    F/D Dance: 'My Little Girl' Tim McGraw

    Private last dance: 'Angel' by Dave Matthews Band

    I have it on good authority that the groomsmen plan on serenading me before the garter toss to their own rendition of "You've lost that loving feeling" Top Gun style. I am so pumped for it, and I surrrriously wish I didn't know.

    NWR--while you're on YouTube, please do a search for the 'Nasty Crazy Honey Badger' and listen to the narration. If you are afraid of snakes, just listen don't watch. Hilarious. He doesn't give a sh!t. I hope that makes your day!!

    Ugh I have no sound on my work computer and no head phones. I really want to hear these songs!
    FI and I are clueless, so far we are thinking "Unforgettable" from Nat King Cole or "always and forever" from Luther Vandross. 
    If I can squeeze in a Private Last Dance then I would want "marry me" from Train
    For my sisters wedding my dad switched the some and played Sleeping Beauty's "once upon a dream" everyone was crying. So Im not sure what to do with my dad (considering he doesn't approve of the wedding). hmm...
