Re: Good Father/Daughter Song to dance to?

I am either using Jessica Simpson "You dont have to let go" Or Christina Aguliar(sp?) "I turn to you" Hope this helps :)

Re: Good Father/Daughter Song to dance to?

My dad and I danced to "You are My Special Angel" by Bobby Helms, it's an older song from the 60's (I believe) but it's just perfect. It's not the same old "father daughter" dance songs you always hear at weddings. Here are the lyrics:

You are my special angel
Sent from up above
The Lord smiled down on me
And sent an angel to love (to love)
You are my special angel
Right from paradise
I know that you're an angel
Heaven is in your eyes

A smile from your lips
Bring the summer sunshine
The tears from your eyes bring the rain
I feel your touch, your warm embrace
And I'm in heaven again

You are my special angel
Through eternity
I'll have my special angel
Here to watch over me

(A smile from your lips)
(Brings the summer sunshine)
(The tears from your eyes bring the rain)
I feel your touch
Your warm embrace
And I'm in heaven again

You are my special angel
Through eternity
I'll have my special angel
Here to watch over me (watch over me)
Here to watch over me
(Angel, angel)
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oooooh)

My Father/Daughter song: You'll Be In My Heart - Phil Collins

Here's the lyrics

Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand
Hold it tight

I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here
in my heart always
Always

I did the same, for the same reason. but I would've loved to have used Just the Way You Are by Billy Joel, I think it really describes my relationship with my dad.

Also Forever Young by Rod Stewart is a good one. and I LOVE Isn't She Lovely.

Oh, and of Three Men and a Little Lady fame there's Peter Cetera's Daddy's Girl (it's a little fast, though)

When the sun goes down and it's getting late
You say it's time for bed
She just takes her time
Acting like she never heard a word you said

Little baby wanna hold you tight
She don't ever wanna say good night
She's a lover, she wanna be daddy's girl

When the morning comes
And it's time to go start another day
She won't let you leave, and she does her best
To try to make you stay

Pretty baby gonna start to cry
She don't ever wanna say good bye
She's a lover, she wanna be Daddy's Girl

She don't ever wanna be without you
Never have to worry she won't doubt you
Then she puts her head upon your shoulder
Says she'll marry you when she get older

When the time has come, and she's old enough
To be on her own
She won't understand why you're feelin' sad
Cause she's leaving you all alone

Little woman gonna make you cry
You don't ever wanna say good bye
She's a lady, she'll always be Daddy's Girl

Little woman gonna break your heart
Gonna miss her when you're both apart
She's a lady, but she'll always be Daddy's Girl

Re: Good Father/Daughter Song to dance to?

I didn't want a bawling session, so I picked something a little upbeat. Isn't She Lovely"-Stevie Wonder-we still cried..

My dad and I were going to dance to Butterfly Kisses but now I also really like In My Daughter's Eyes. So, I am not 100% sure yet!

Re: Good Father/Daughter Song to dance to?

My father and I danced to Bridge over troubled water (clay aiken version).

When You're Weary Feeling Small
When Tears Are In Your Eyes I Will Dry Them All
I'm On Your Side Oh When Times Get Rough
And Friends Just Can't Be Found

Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water
I Will Lay Me Down

When You're Down And Out When You're On The Street
When Evening Falls So Hard I Will Comfort You
I'll Take Your Part Oh When Darkness Comes
And Pain Is All Around

Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water
I Will Lay Me Down
Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water
I Will Lay Me Down

Sail On Silver Girl Sail On By
Your Time Has Come To Shine All Your Dreams Are On Their Way
See How They Shine Oh When You Need A Friend
Look Around I'm Sailing Right Behind

Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water
I Will Ease Your Mind
Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water
I Will Ease Your Mind
Your Mind, Ease Your Mind

We're going to dance to 'My Little Girl' by Steve Kirwin. It makes me cry.

On WedAlert.com you can listen to snippets of a bunch of songs, that is how I found mine.



Me too!!! I loved that song. I cried the first time I heard it so I knew it was perfect

Re: Good Father/Daughter Song to dance to?

We are using "In My Life" Dad is a HUGE Beatles fan and up until I went to school when someone said music I thought they meant the Beatles soo it was a no brainer for me....others songs I considered (eg. John Mayer's Daughters but this fits us.

I am dancing to "Because you loved me" by Celine Dion. My Dad and I are very close, and it explains our relationship to a T.



Same here and also a Greek song.

Re: Good Father/Daughter Song to dance to?

I used "Lullaby" Billy Joel (I was moving to Alaska 3 days after the wedding and so it was a little bit depressing for that moment). There was not a dry eye in the room. Even the guys were crying. Wish we would have chosen something a little bit more upbeat. It took a while for the party to get going again. Turned it from a wedding reception to a farewell.

My sister is using "There goes my life" by Kenny Chesney.

Re: Good Father/Daughter Song to dance to?

We danced to "If it Wasn't for your love" by Heather Headley. It's really beautiful.

Would I be standing here
After all these years
Among the stars above
Maybe not, if it wasn't for your love
Smiling faces all around
Like when a king that has just been crowned
A battle has been won
That I'd have lost
If it wasn't for you love
A fairy tale unfolds
More true than stories I've been told
At last my chance to shine
And all in perfect time
The life I once dreamed of
Who'd have thought
If it wasn't for your love
And oh the wonderful surprise
To have a light so bright it blinds my eyes
And finally I see, how it feels to live a dream
But would I have touched the sky
Ever flown so high
No not i, if it wasn't for your love

Re: Good Father/Daughter Song to dance to?

We danced to Faith Hill's There You'll Be - I love In My Daughter's Eyes, but didn't know how our band would sound, I also didn't want to cry.

When I think back
On these times
And the dreams
We left behind
I'll be glad 'cause
I was blessed to get
To have you in my life
When I look back
On these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me
[Chorus:]

In my dreams
I'll always see you soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There will always be a place
For you for all my life
I'll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you'll be

Well you showed me
How it feels
To feel the sky
Within my reach
And I always
Will remember all
The strength you
Gave to me
Your love made me
Make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me
[Repeat chorus]

'Cause I always saw in you
My light, my strength
And I want to thank you
Now for all the ways
You were right there for me
You were right there for me
For always

Re: Good Father/Daughter Song to dance to?

I Loved her First.
But I dont remember who sings it. It's kind of contemporary country, but doesn't sound country-sh... the chorus goes something like " i loved her first/ i held her first/ from the first time she breathed/ first smiled at me/ i knew my heart would always be hers"
