Father/ Daughter Songs...

So, in my search for Father/ Daughter songs, I came upon a few lists of songs that are different. My dad is into Classic Rock and I really am looking for something that suits him well. Here are some:


Daughters- John Mayer

Father and Daughter (Paul Simon)

Loudon Wainwright’s “Daughter” (Love this!)


More Ideas
daughter - loudon wainwright
here comes the sun - beatles
brightside of the road - van morrison
tupelo honey - van morrison
wildflowers - tom petty
gracie - ben folds
still fighting it – ben folds (good for a boy and mom)
somewhere over the rainbow/what a wonderful world - israel kamakawio ole
lullaby - dixie chicks
wide open spaces - dixie chicks
turn, turn - the byrds
blackbird - the beatles
the rainbow connection - any artist, but kermit’s best
father & daughter - paul simon from the thornberrys soundtrack
wonderful world - louis armstrong
pennies from heaven – louis armstrong
sugar mountain - neil young
never fully dressed without a smile - harry connick jr., or annie soundtrack
landslide - fleetwood mac or dixie chicks
dancing in daddy’s shoes – leon redbone
circle game – joni Mitchell
child of mine – carol king
how sweet it is – james taylor
sweet baby james – james taylor
thank heaven for little girls – gigi soundtrack
I had a good father and mother – kate wolf (very folk)
Molly Ban – Alison Krauss
How you’ve grown – 10,000 maniacs

Here is a great list!

i just checked out some of those songs...and i always loved the rainbow connection but i just heard it by sarah mclachlan and it almost made me cry. it's so pretty and i love her voice!

thanks for this list...i've been trying to figure out a song for me and my dad b/c the mushy you're-the-best-dad-ever songs just don't work for me. the rainbow connection just might be it...

Since my father passed away when I was 10, I'll be dancing with my Uncle to this song who just lost his wife 3 months ago.
