Appropriate Father/Daughter dance song??

So ive been thinking so hard about the song I want to dance with my father to and today i was listening to my ipod on the train and the song 'Make You Feel My Love'- Adele came on and i started tearing up. I must have looked like a maniac. I dont know who sang the original...theres a million different versions but Adele's version got my chocked up!

Is it more of a husband/wife song though?? I dont know. I dont want to cross any creepy lines hahaha

heres the lyrics...

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

To be honest, I'm not sure I think it's appropriate for a wedding song or father/daughter dance. It's definitely a song between two lovers so that's why I don't think it's appropriate for a father/daughter dance. And the line in it that says 'I know you haven't made your mind up yet' indicates that it's between lovers where the woman is uncertain of her path. I'm just a big believer of not playing a song for your wedding where the lyrics don't apply. It's definitely a BEAUTIFUL song, but a wedding song should be one where you're saying 'I want only you forever!!' Not 'I hope you pick me'. I just don't think that's wedding-appropriate, you know? Sorry if I'm not telling you what you want to hear...I hope that helps!!

i think its more of a lover song, but if it touches you and you like it and it means something it doesnt matter
I am dancing with my dad to somewhere over the rainbow bc its his favorite song and everytime i hear it i think of him

It is a beautiful song and most people don't listen to the words as much as they are wrapped in the emotion of the moment.

Unless a song is written for a daughter then you will never find something that 100% applies.

I happen to like the Harry Conick version but that is neither here nor there.
