My dad and I are very close so I am looking for that 'perfect' father/daughter song... something nice and meaningful but not a song that alot of people use (like Butterfly Kisses, Wind beneath My Wings, etc.)

Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

I am either using Jessica Simpson 'You dont have to let go' Or Christina Aguliar(sp?) 'I turn to you' Hope this helps :)

My dad and I danced to 'You are My Special Angel' by Bobby Helms, it's an older song from the 60's (I believe) but it's just perfect. It's not the same old 'father daughter' dance songs you always hear at weddings. Here are the lyrics:

You are my special angel
Sent from up above
The Lord smiled down on me
And sent an angel to love (to love)
You are my special angel
Right from paradise
I know that you're an angel
Heaven is in your eyes

A smile from your lips
Bring the summer sunshine
The tears from your eyes bring the rain
I feel your touch, your warm embrace
And I'm in heaven again

You are my special angel
Through eternity
I'll have my special angel
Here to watch over me

(A smile from your lips)
(Brings the summer sunshine)
(The tears from your eyes bring the rain)
I feel your touch
Your warm embrace
And I'm in heaven again

You are my special angel
Through eternity
I'll have my special angel
Here to watch over me (watch over me)
Here to watch over me
(Angel, angel)
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oooooh)

How about In My Daughter's Eyes by Martina McBride.

That's was we are using! My dad picked it out himself!

My Father/Daughter song: You'll Be In My Heart - Phil Collins

Here's the lyrics

Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand
Hold it tight

I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here
in my heart always
Always

I did the same, for the same reason. but I would've loved to have used Just the Way You Are by Billy Joel, I think it really describes my relationship with my dad.

Also Forever Young by Rod Stewart is a good one. and I LOVE Isn't She Lovely.

Oh, and of Three Men and a Little Lady fame there's Peter Cetera's Daddy's Girl (it's a little fast, though)

When the sun goes down and it's getting late
You say it's time for bed
She just takes her time
Acting like she never heard a word you said

Little baby wanna hold you tight
She don't ever wanna say good night
She's a lover, she wanna be daddy's girl

When the morning comes
And it's time to go start another day
She won't let you leave, and she does her best
To try to make you stay

Pretty baby gonna start to cry
She don't ever wanna say good bye
She's a lover, she wanna be Daddy's Girl

She don't ever wanna be without you
Never have to worry she won't doubt you
Then she puts her head upon your shoulder
Says she'll marry you when she get older

When the time has come, and she's old enough
To be on her own
She won't understand why you're feelin' sad
Cause she's leaving you all alone

Little woman gonna make you cry
You don't ever wanna say good bye
She's a lady, she'll always be Daddy's Girl

Little woman gonna break your heart
Gonna miss her when you're both apart
She's a lady, but she'll always be Daddy's Girl
