Father/Daughter Songs

Tim McGraw - My Little Girl



Gotta hold on easy as I let you go
Gonna tell you how much I love you
Though you think you already know
I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm
You've had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born

You beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on, take on this whole world
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl

When you were in trouble that crooked little smile could melt my heart of stone
Now look at you, I've turned around and you've almost grown
Sometimes you're asleep I whisper 'I Love You' in the moonlight at your door
As I walk away, I hear you say, 'Daddy Love You More'

Your beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on, take on this whole world
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl

Someday, some boy will come and ask me for your hand
But I won't say 'yes' to him unless I know, he's the half
That makes you whole, he has a poet's soul, and the heart of a man's man
I know he'll say that he's in love
But between you and me
He won't be good enough

Your beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on, take on this whole world
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl

Ok, this is a really good one too. I think I may just make a CD of all the ones I like and let my dad pick.

Not sure...I'm letting my Dad pick!!!

First time around did Daddy's Little Girl...that didn't work out too well. I want to use either this Tim McGraw song or Billy Joel's Lullybye. If my Dad wasn't forced to retire due to an injury on the job, I'm sure I could give him the puppy dog eyes and get him to do the Chicken Dance with me. LOL

The song FMIL has picked out for her dance is so dayammmm depressing........I almost want to find a song to mock her. BTW....what is the order??? Father of the bride or Mother of the Groom first??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? or should I just ask FSIL what HER order is???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I'm outta wine........helppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

KIND AND GENEROUS BY NATALIE MERCHANT


I had a very tumultuos childhood and my dad was the only stable thing in my life ever. So its kind of my thank you to him for keeping me alive basically...

Tangled Up Puppet, by Harry Chapin
I'm a tangled up puppet,
Spinning round in knots,
And the more I see what I used to be,
The less of you I've got.

There was a time that you curled up in my lap; like a child
You'd cling to me smiling, yours eyes wide and wild
Now you slip through my arms, wave a passing hello
Twist away and toss a kiss, laughing as you go

You used to say 'Read me a story and sing me songs of love'
For you were Princess Paradise like your wings of a dove
Now I chase you and tease you trying to remake you my own
But you just turn away and say 'please leave me alone.'

And I'm a tangled up puppet
All hanging in your strings
I'm a butterfly in a spider's web
Fluttering my wings

And the more that I keep dancing
And spinning round in knots
The more I see what I used to be
And the less of you I've got

You are a drawer full of makeup and rinses and things
You keep changing your moods like your earrings and rings
But tonight while we played tag for five minutes in the yard
Just for a moment I caught you off guard
But now you write your secret poems
In a room just for your dreams
You don't find time to talk to me
About the things you mean
And what I mean is--

I have watched you take shape from a jumble of parts
And find the grace and form of a fine work of art
Hey, you, my brand new woman, newly come into your own
Don't you know that you don't need to grow up all alone

'It won't be like this for long' By Darius Rucker
My Dad loves this song and he picked it for our first dance

Most likely....'Michelle' by the Beatles.

My mom is deceased and my parents named me after this song..so I thought it would be a nice rememberence for my dad, like I was including my mom in our dance.
