I'm thinking of using You Light Up My Life. I used to sing it when I was 5 with a lincoln log as my microphone. My dad enjoys this memory a lot. A friend of mine used a Beatles song because her father loves the Beatles.

I was just at a wedding where they danced to Stand By Me which I thought was cute.

Re: father/daughter songs
I don't know the name of the song, but it goes 'fathers be good to your daughters,' 'Girls become lovers who turn into mothers, so mothers be good to your daughters too' I love that song, I'm dancing with this teacher I had who was like a father to me at my wedding. NOT ALONE, but I really love this song. Its so sweet and what I feel a father daugher song should be.

This is called DAUGHTERS by John Mayer. It's a great song!

We danced to My Little Girl by Steve Kirwan. It's fairly new I think and sung by a no-namer. Lots of people liked it and asked about it.

Re: father/daughter songs
My dad and I used this song. He picked it out and I dont think ANYONE had a dry eye. I heard it and couldn't believe how perfect it is for a father daughter wedding dance. I am not one for country either but this is PERFECT
In your arms - Mark Wills
Three a.m. on the clock Lullaby, music box Oh, baby please don't cry Let's let mama sleep tonight You've only been home one day You don't even know your name Tiny hand on my cheek You;re a miracle to me In the still ness of the night Cradled in this rocking chair I hold all my hopes and dreams, Every single answered prayer
In my arms Wish I could hold you forever In my arms I will give you shelter Still I know I can't always be there To protect you from this great big old world But I swear this much is true There'll always be a place for you...in my arms
As I watch you take each breath Oh, it scares me to death To know you're counting on me To be the daddy that you need Wounded knees, broken hearts Learning how to drive a car When it's time for your first date Will I know just what to say And when you find that one true love I'll put on my best smile And I'll try to hide my tears As I walk you down the aisle
In my arms Wish I could hold you forever In my arms I will give you shelter Still I know I can't always be there To protect you from this great big old world But I swear this much is true There'll always be a place for you...in my arms
Oh, this promise I will keep As you finally fall asleep...in my arms

We used 'You Sang To Me' by Marc Anthony - he wrote it for his daughter.
That was after a brief intro of 'Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah' by Allan Sherman, which is 'our' song.

I was going to use the same song because I used to sing it too but my dad chose the song and he chose 'Lullabye (Goodnight My Angel' by Billy Joel.

Re: father/daughter songs
Does anyone know of a good oldie or doo-wop song that might work?

Not sure if it's truly an oldie but Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder is great if you want something a little more upbeat.
