father/daughter songs

What are you ladies thinking of using? I was thinking of Billy Joel Lullabye, but my dad really likes Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra so does anyone have suggestions...I don't want the typical father daughter songs like butterfly kisses and all of that...it just isn't us.

If my dad was still alive I would dance to a more non traditional song. But i have to say I do love lullabye by billy joel. Butterfly kisses just annoys me-im sorry folks that like it, I dont

This song is the best song ever... I was hysterical the first time I heard it!!!!


'I Loved Her First' by Heartland

Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each others face
So much in love your alone in this place
Like there's nobody else in the world
I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one
She told me so
And she still means the world to me
Just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl
Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it still hard to give her away
I loved her first

How could that beautiful women with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But its still hard to give her away
I loved her first

From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first

I'm actually doing 'Lullabye' by Billy Joel!

Re: father/daughter songs

I love lullabye by Billy Joel but I played it for FMIL and she said 'isn't this for a real little girl.' She made me a bit mad so I questioned my choice... I am not listening to her. It makes me cry and i love it.
