Need help with step/dad song choice. Is this a good pick?

I need your honest opinion. Do you think this is a good step-father / bride song. My dad has passed away. But prior to that he and my step-dad got along well. No one will ever replace my dad but I am close with my step-dad. Actually we are buds, nothing sappy but like good friends. He calls me to complain about my mom and I call him to just BS.
So after months of searching, this is what I came up with. Billy Joel, Just the Way you Are. Here are the words. Please let me know what you think or any other suggestions you may have.

Thanks!

Here are the lyrics:

Don't go changing to try and please me,
You never let me down before.
And don't imagine you're too familiar,
And I don't see you anymore.

I would not leave you in times of trouble,
We never could have come this far.
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times,
I take you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be,
The same old someone that I knew.
Ah, what will it take till you believe in me,
The way that I believe in you?

I said I love you and that's forever,
And this I promise from the heart.
I could not love you any better,
I love you just the way you are.

Break

I don't want clever conversation,
I never want to work that hard.
I just want someone that I can talk to,
I want you just the way you are

Im in the same boat! My sister got married 7 years ago and used this same song you've selected....
I chose a Billy Joel version of 'When you wish upon a star' that is more fitting of MY relationship with my stepdad. It also fits because his first date with my mom was to a Billy Joel Concert 17 years ago.
HTH.
