Father-Daugther Dance Song?

Have any of you picked a father-daugther dance song yet? I'm looking for some ideas! I'm not a huge country person and neither is my dad, but I'd be willing to consider a country song. My dad's more into classic rock sort of stuff so that would be a better fit. FI's been trying to help, but we're stuck!

Re: Father-Daugther Dance Song?

  • We're not into country either but it seems that country music has the best songs for father daughter dance songs. We're going with Heartland's I loved her first. Listen to it and see if you like it. Let me know what you think.
  • I absolutely love that song, I cry every time I hear it b/c I think of my dad and I. BUT, I love a new song that just came out by my favorite country singer, Trace Adkins, which fits my dad and I to a "T".

    I am most likely going with Trace Adkins - Just Fishin'

  • Just fishin' for me too!! Dad has been taking me fishing since I was 6 and we went on a trip just the two of us every year for 8 years. Best memories of my life.

    there was also butterfly kisses by bob carlisle but it is overdone at weddings we find
  • We're going with Kind & Generous by Natalie Merchant.


    A little old school, but I love the lyrics and ever since he introduced me to her music, we've always been fans.

  • We're doing What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong. It's one of my faves and my dad's too.

  • "Gracie" by Ben Folds. When I was at my dad's house for Easter, I sent him the MP3. He listened to it, and immediately went on Facebook to share it and tell the FB world how much of a mess he was going to be dancing with me to it. :)
  • Well this is something I haven't thought of since I don't get to do it. If he was here and walking me down the aisle it would have been to I loved her first. When that song came out I knew it would be perfect for that one day and now I have no idea what I'll use there either. I'm having a dance with my mom instead though. To I hope you dance by Leann Womack. It's her song for me she calls the radio station and has it played every year on my birthday.

  • It's not official yet but we're thinking of doing "zoe jane" by staind.  we're also thinking about trying to find a beatles song or something a little more classic rock.

  • We're using The Way you Look Tonight by Frank Sinatra. FI and FMIL are using Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong.

  • I would kind of love to use Simon and Garfunkel's "59th St. Bridge Song Feelin' Groovy" because my dad always used to sing it to me when I was little. But I'm worried that it's a little too fast to dance to comfortably. I've asked him for suggestions and he got too choked up to come up with any, LOL...

  • I hate country music, but oddly enough I picked the Heartland song also. It makes me bawl everytime I hear it.

  • My dad and I are between a few and he gets all misty eyed every time we talk about it (he never does that, so then I start crying) We don't want the song to be sappy, we both HATE country (not to offend anyone) and he's very classic rock dude but he's also liking some new rock too, almost indie, kinda weird to me but its cool. anyway

    The Beatles - In my life
    Stevie Wonder - Isn't she lovely
    Led Zeppelin - Thank You

  • oops. my girl by the temptations was also supposed to be on that list!

  • Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll have to check them out!
  • We're dancing to "all you need is love" by the Beatles. My Dad is a Beatles nut and he and I used to listen to them all the time when he was teaching me to drive, so it had to be a Beatles song!
    It doesn't have to be perfect to be everything I want!

  • My dad and I have had a "song" since high school. We are dancing to "My Wish" by Rascal Flats.

  • I can't wait for the father daughter dance. I am such a daddies girl and I picked a song that is very special to both of us.

    We are dancing to Glenn Miller's Moonlight Serenade. I choose it because he got me into jazz music. I remember when I was very young and we would watch The Glenn Miller story and we would get so excited when they played Moonlight Serenade.

  • We're dancing to What a Wonderful World- My kindergarten class sang it at my promotion with sign language all those years ago and Dad always gets chocked up when he hears it on the radio- I am going to bawl- I'm almost crying just writing about it...I cannot wait :) It's going to be such a great day!
  • We are dancing to Perfect Fan by the Backstreet Boys and then the song is going to cut into the Time Warp
