Father-Daughter Dance

ag2035 · June 2012

Can anyone recommend a good father-daughter dance song that is NOT "Butterfly Kisses" or "My Girl" or anything super obvious about fathers and daughters? Maybe a good Beatles song? Our back up is "What a Wonderful World," but I feel like that's also pretty standard and we'd rather not be so cliche. Thanks!

For Beatles: "In My Life" is a good one.

Although it does say fathers and daughters, we used Paul Simons' "Father and Daughter" and it isnt mushy like Butterfly Kisses and similar songs. It has a nice message and is a little upbeat, which we liked.

"Isn't she Lovely" or "You are the Sunshine of my life" both by Stevie Wonder

Thanks, everyone! I think we're going to do the Pretenders, "I'll Stand By You."

I love "I loved her first". I forgot the name of the artist but it's a country song.

I'm thinking about 'Daughter' by Loudon Wainwright III

Thank You! I was stumped on what song to pick & I really like Paul Simon's Father and Daughter. I didn't want to be bawling my eyes out while I was dancing with my Dad. I just want to enjoy the moment! Some of the traditional songs made me cry <em>before</em> I was even at the wedding!
