What song for Bride/Father-in-law dance?

My dad passed away several years ago so I'm doing a Bride/Father in law dance instead.  I have no idea what song to use.  Any suggestions? TIA!

He Didn't Have To Be is a great song, but if you listen to the lyrics, it's more geared towards a step-father and not a father-in-law.  :)

I know but if they have developed a more father-daughter relationship that could work.

IMO, based on the lyrics... it's not appropriate for a FIL dance.

When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new 
It always winds up feeling more like a job interview 
My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone 
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run 

I met the man I call my dad when I was five years old 
He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go 
A few months later I remember lying there in bed 
I overheard him pop the question and prayed that she'd say yes

If you really would like this song to be special, take his characteristics into account.  This way the song doesn't have to be about him. It can just describe him.

Not only am I planning on the Father/Bride dance, but also Father in Law and Grandfather in law.  Both of which have played a huge part in FH life, and now mine.  We're having an Irish themed wedding so for the dance with my grandfather in law, I'm thinking "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling"
