BILLY JOEL SONGS for father/daughter dance

i am thinking about a song to play for my father. he raised me listening to billy joel and i'd love to have a song from him...but can you think of any that would be fitting for a father/daughter dance?? i was thinking 'just the way you are' (and altering it a bit-i have a band to do that)

Re: BILLY JOEL SONGS for father/daughter dance

I thought that this was called Lullaby but when I looked it up to get the words it said 'Goodnight My Angel'? Not sure...but anyway, here are the words...

Billy Joel - 'Goodnight My Angel'

Goodnight, my angel, time to close your eyes,
and save these questions for another day,
I think I know what you've been asking me.
I think you know what I've been trying to say.
I promised I would never leave you,
and you should always know
wherever you may go, no matter where you are
I never will be far away.
Goodnight, my angel, now its time to sleep,
and still so many things I want to say.
Remember all the songs you sang for me
when we went sailing on an em'rald bay.
And like a boat out on the ocean,
I'm rocking you to sleep,
The water's dark and deep
inside this ancient heart
you'll always be a part of me.

Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream,
and dream how wonderful your life will be.
Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this Lullaby, then in your heart there will always be a part of me.

Someday we'll all be gone but Lullabys go on and on.
They never die, that's how you and I will be.

I agree with those who said Lullaby... he wrote that song for his daughter

Re: BILLY JOEL SONGS for father/daughter dance

Just thought I'd let you guys know something about 'lullabye'...the song was written b/c his daughter asked him about dying, and that's how he came up with that song. It's all about how he feels about death and how he wants his daughter to know that he will always be there for her even after he's gone.

I liked the song too, and I was going to pick 'Unforgetable' (the one that Natalie Cole 'sings' with her father), but when I told my mom she said that my dad was really looking forward to dancing to 'Daddy's Little Girl'. So, I guess we're just doing that.
