father-daughter dance song?

Have you all picked one out? There are a few I like, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't pick some because they make me cry just listening to them. :P

Here are some of my favs:
Father Daughter Song (Paul Simon)
I Loved Her First (Heartland) - probably what I'm leaning towards, but makes me well up with tears all the time.
My Little Girl (Tim McGraw)
You Are My Special Angel (Bobby Helms) - probably one my dad would like best

Thoughts? Should I consider the tearing-up factor?

    We're not doing it, so no songs to think about here.

    However, I love the song Stealing Cinderella by Chuck Wicks.  I remember the first time I heard it, I thought it would make a perfect father/daughter dance song.

    My dad and I are dancing to I Loved Her First! Neither of us can make it through that song without crying, but I can't picture anything else. I'm a total daddy's girl too so it's perfect!

    I had a twist on our father daughter dance.. We started out with Heartland, I loved her first.. but because I wanted it to be fun and not sad for my dad.. midway through it changed to the Temptations, My Girl.  My dad totally busted a move and showed me up on the dance floor :)

    @britthall, that is so cute.  :)

    We haven't discussed it yet, but I'm guessing he wants to dance to Daddy's Little Girl.  The old standby.  I have a few songs that make me cry, like Through The Years by Kenny Rogers.  I can't hear that song and not blubber like a fool.  Like others said maybe that is a reason to not pick it.

    Well, good to know I'm probably not going to be the only one who cries. Honestly, I do fear that I'll be a mess on my wedding day. I think I cry at all weddings, no matter what. haha. 

    Not a bad idea to give dad the option to pick. Maybe I'll narrow them down and have him pick from two.

    "I am your child" by Barry Manilow and "Softly, I will leave you softly" (not sure who sings it) are beautiful father/daughter songs.. Good luck!
