Father Daughter Dance.. I need help

in Wedding Ceremony & Reception Music Discussions
My wedding is in less than 3 months and the DJ is asking for my song list and I don't have a song for the Father Daughter dance. There are lots of songs that I like but none fit the situation. My Dad left when I was a baby and I did not meet him untill I was 12 years old. From then on I seen him every other summer for maybe two weeks at a time. When I turned 21 he moved to IN from TX and we began to build our realationship but it is still pretty rocky. If you have any song ideas for me I would appericate all the help I can get.

    Forever Young by Bob Dylan or Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole are both pretty without being too....specific? Father-daughterish?

    Butterfly Kisses
    -Bob Carlisle

    I loved her first
    -Heartland

    My Father's Eyes
    -Amy Grant

    I hope you dance
    -LeAnn Womack

    A Song for my daughter
    -Ray Allaire



    I'm in a similar situation with my father. We've never had a relationship. He was pretty much never at home when I was growing up, and his relationships with my mom and brothers is not exactly perfect. To make things less weird, I'm having the Husband to be dance with his mom at the same time, then I'll dance with his dad and he'll dance with my mom... that way I have the dance, but it's less stress for me, and wong be too weird.

    Good Luck!

    I agree with PP which suggested:
    Somewhere Over the Rainbow or What a Wonderful World.

    These songs are not as sappy as a song like Butterfly Kisses and do not specifically focus on the relationship between father and daughter.

    How about You were always on my mind by Willie Nelson? Just a quick thought...
