father/daughter dance

I am so stumped.

. I want a song that isnt overly, 'youre my little girl.. I used to tuck you in at night.. you were mine first ' kinda thing.

Just more simple. Any ideas?

You raise me up by Josh Grobin?
Constellations by Jack Johnson?
Just the way you are by Billy Joel?
To name a few...

Re: father/daughter dance

I went to a wedding where the bride and her father danced to the song THere You'll Be, by Faith Hill. Sweet song, and not too mushy. Hope that helps!

Re: father/daughter dance

We're doing Frank Sinatra - The Way You Look Tonight. It's not too sappy IMHO.

I told my dad to pick out a few songs he liked and from them I picked the one I thought was best.

My father and I danced to 'She's Got a Way' by Billy Joel. We're both big Billy Joel fans.

Re: father/daughter dance

We used 'Con Te Partiro' by Andrea Bocceli ... An Italian song was a must as my dad is from Italy. The song talks about how 'It's time to say goodbye' - TISSUE!

My dad wants to pick the song..For my sister's wedding he picked 'a song for my daughter' by Marc Cohn. Beautiful song, even the men were crying.

Re: father/daughter dance

I need a song not so lovey dovey too! My dad did alot for me growing up. Taking me out of state for dance competitions, driving me where ever I needed to go, taught me how to drive, fixed anything I ever broke ect. We're not the kind to say I love you either. I need a song like to thank him for all he's done for me and that I appreciate him!

Keep the ideas coming girls!
