I can't find a father daughter dance that I love.
I am extremely close with my dad and I am looking for something different. He is a big oldies fan. Any suggestions TIA

I am having this issue also... My dad and I are NOT close matter of fact he sas he is not coming to the wedding at all (he and FH have issues). I want to have a song just in case... have listened to all the ones that have been posted... even did a search and went back to 2005 still nothing....

I am thinking..

Zoe Jane or Everything Changes by Staind...

What do you guys think??

I have also thought of Time Passages by Al Stewart or Mandy by Barry Manilow (we used to listen to them when I was a kid)

We used My Girl, the Temptations, which was perfect for us....

I did the same- also Nat King Cole Unforgettable is a good one

Most of the sentimental ones make me cry NOW... I can't imagine on the actual day!

We're doing a combined parent/child dance and are leaning toward using 'What a Wonderful World'

We are dancing to because you loved me by Celine Dion. He will not know what song I picked until the wedding :)

Don't know about oldies, but we danced to 'Over the Rainbow'

Always Be Your Baby by Natalie Grant

You were my first love, always there for me
You taught me how to walk and how to dream
God gave me your eyes
But it was you who taught me how to see
Now I can stand on my own
But I know that you'll never let go

I'll always be your baby
No matter how the years fly by
The way you love me made me
Who I am in this world
I'm a woman now, not a little girl
Wherever this life takes me
I'll always be your baby

You are my hero and that will never change
You still can dry my tears with just a smile
The one I've leaned on
From my first steps to walking down the aisle
Now there's another man in my life
But I know by the look in your eyes

I'll always be your baby
No matter how the years fly by
The way you love me made me
Who I am in this world
I'm a woman now, Not a little girl
Wherever this life takes me
I'll always be your baby

Your faith, your love
And all that you believe
Have come to be the strongest part of me
And I will always be your baby

Artist: Paul Simon
Song: Father & Daughter

If you leap awake
In the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction of a second
You can't remember where you are
Just open your window
And follow your memory upstream
To the meadow in the mountain
Where we counted every falling star

I believe a light that shines on you
Will shine on you forever
And though I cant guarantee
There's nothing scary hiding under your bed
I'm gonna stand guard like a postcard
At the Golden Retriever
And never leave till I leave you
With a sweet dream in your bed

Chorus:
I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two wooo
There could never be a father who loved
His daughter more than I love you

Trust your intuition
It's just like goin fishin'
You cast your line and hope you get a bite
You don't need to waste your time
Worryin' about the market place
Trying to help the human race
Strugglin to survive its harshest hour

chorus
x2

I chose 'You've Got a Friend' by James Taylor. It was a good choice since my dad is one of my best friends

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.

Oh my god! Thats adorable!

I did a song by Chrisette Michelle called 'Your Joy.' it is a beautiful song! And she has a very old fashioned sound to her voice. Def worth looking up on itunes.

Re: Father daughter Dance- PLEASE HELP

My father is very emotional about the wedding since I am the baby and the only girl....last to get married and last in the house....he doesn't want to cry, so we want to do a nice sentimental song that is upbeat....I am having a hard time choosing one....HELP!
