I used Isnt She Lovely by Stevie Wonder

Re: Father daughter Dance- PLEASE HELP

Remember that the song you choose doesn't have to have a father-daughter theme to it, it could be a song you both love, a song that has a special significance to you both, etc.

I was at a wedding yesterday and they did a slow, sentimental song for 30-45 seconds and then the music broke out into guns and roses, sweet child of mine...It was so cute! I thought it was a great idea to do a slow song and then a fun song.

Re: Father daughter Dance- PLEASE HELP

This song by Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley bring tears to my eyes.. its truly beautiful...give it to a listen online.

BILLY RAY CYRUS LYRICS

'Ready, Set, Don't Go'

She's gotta do what she's gotta do
And I've gotta like it or not
She's got dreams too big for this town
And she needs to give 'em a shot
Whatever they are

Looks like she's all ready to leave
Nothing left to pack
There ain't no room for me in that car
Even if she asked me to tag along
God I gotta be strong

She's at the startin' line of the rest of her life
As ready as she's ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in her eyes
The prize is hers to win
She's waitin' on my blessings before she hits that
open road
Baby get ready
Get set
Don't go

She says things are fallen into place
Feels like they're fallen apart
I painted this big ol' smile on my face
To hide my broken heart
If only she knew
This is where I don't say what I want so bad to say
This is where I want to but I won't get in the way
Of her and her dreams
And spreadin' her wings

She's at the startin' line of the rest of her life
As ready as she's ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in her eyes
The prize is hers to win
She's waitin' on my blessings before she hits that
open road
Baby get ready
Get set
Don't go

She's at the startin' line of the rest of her life
As ready as she's ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in her eyes
The prize is hers to win
She's waitin' on my blessings before she hits that
open road
Baby get ready
Get set
Please don't go

Don't go
Don't go
She's gotta do what she's gotta do
She's gotta do what she's gotta do

That song was on my list lol. I love the lyrics but Josh Grobans song is really nice to. He's an opera singer but he sounds great and the lyrics are amazing.

Are you close to him, or not really?

ChristinaNTodd08 Posted: Jun 22, 2008 09:27 PM

Re: Father daughter Dance- PLEASE HELP

Close to him. I've actually known him my whole life and (long story) He and my mom got married about 6 years ago, but they dated for awhile before that.

I can't find a good song that doesn't talk about being his 'little girl' etc....I love all the songs everyone keeps posting. They just don't fit our story.

How about kind and generous by Natalie Merchant

Heres the lyrics:
la la la la la la la la la.................

You've been so kind and generous, I don't know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I'm in debt to you
For your selflessness, my admiration
For everything you've done, you know I'm bound, I'm bound to
thank you for it....

la la la la la la la la la ...........................

You've been so kind and generous, I don't know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I'm in debt to you
And I never could have come this far without you
For everything you've done, you know I'm bound, I'm bound to
thank you for it....

Na Na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na na

Oh, I want to thank you for so many gifts you gave with love and tenderness,
I wanna thank you
I want to thank you for your generosity, the love and the honesty that you gave me
I want to thank you, show my gratitude, my love and my respect for you,
I wanna thank you

Oh I want to thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you...

OR wind beneath my wings by bette midler

Or i turn to you by christina aguilera.

Re: Father daughter Dance- PLEASE HELP

I'm considering using My Girl for my father-daughter song.
I really like butterfly kisses- but it's kinda long. I heard about that Cinderella song here too. I checked it out on youtube. it's really good.
