father daughter song

christineh13186

I've been searching all over the web for ideas for a father-daughter dance song. I had originally wanted I Loved Her First, but I feel weird using the song because my cousin used it for her father-daughter dance with my uncle. I want something special to dance to with my dad because I am his first born (we almost have the same birthday--he said he wanted to be a dad before he turned 30 and I came two hours shy of his 30th birthday..he tells me I'm the best birthday gift he ever got !!) I haven't found a song that has given me that wow feeling yet. Like that feeling you get when you find THE dress and you know you have to have it right then and there...any ideas for songs, (especially from anyone who is a first born like myself....what song did you find special with your dad???) thanks all!!

I'm going to use My Little Girl by Tim Mcgraw. Took me a while to decide but it makes me emotional to listen to it and I just know it'll be perfect

I am using Darius Rucker- It won't be like this for long. Not my favorite, but I let my dad pick, and he said it was perfect. Here's some songs I suggested to him though:

Harry Connick Jr- wink and a smile
Faith Hill- There you'll be
Jim Morrison- brown eyed girl
Ray Charles- If I could

Hope this helps!

Midnight Lullaby by Tom Waits is my choice :-)

We did "Father and Daughter" by Paul Simon. I didn't want something super "mushy" because that's not the kind of people we are. Plus he likes Paul Simon PLUS the words are still sweet if you listen to them and I loved the melody.

I am also a first born and the only daughter. We used to watch Father of the Bride when I was young. It reminds me of us so I am using Steve Tyrell-The Way You Look Tonight.

My dad and I also don't have a mushy relationship and are not very affectionate with eachother even though we are close. We are doing "Little Moments" by Rob Thomas from Meet the Robinsons.

I'm dying to find a song that is slow enough to dance to, not too long, and not too mushy and no weird lyrics that could be taken the wrong way. Currently in the lead is Lullaby by Billy Joel, but not sure. I find this to be one of the most difficult decisions so far in wedding planning because I think both my dad and I are not super close and he's a shy dancer.

I was considering "Take Good Care of My Baby" by Bobby Vee (I love 50's-60's music) or Goodnight Irene (I hadn't chosen a version yet) because he used to sing that song to my siblings and me when we were little.

My dad and I are dancing to 'Sweet Child O' Mine' by Guns N Roses.  We always do things a little 'different'.  I chose this song when I was a teenager!

My dad and I danced to "Little Wing" by Jimi Hendrix. Unconventional, but so are my parents.

Fly on little wing...

Ditto, "Daughter" by Loudon Wainwright III

My dad and I are very close, but he is definitely more class-rock/laid-back..all the sappy country and R&B songs just wouldn't suit.
