help - with a song please

I have to pick a song for when I dance with my uncle - I don't have a dad and he is the closest thing - does anyone have any ideas

I appreciate it

In my life
.... butterfly kisses?


Just to get thing started.. I have a strange taste in music so I'll leave it at those two.

I think im using Maybe I'm amazed... not sure yet.

I used 'When You Say Nothing At All' By Alison Krauss for my dance with my Dad, but I think you could totally use it for an uncle too. Here are the lyrics:

ALISON KRAUSS

'When You Say Nothing At All'

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all.

I did Lean On Me with my brother, it was so sweet. There are a whole bunch of versions, most slow, some a little faster, but the lyrics are basically all the same.

LEAN ON ME:

Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow.
But if we are wise, we know that there's always tomorrow.
Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend.
I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on.

Please swallow your pride, if have things you need to borrow.
For no one can fill those needs that you won't let show.

You just call on me brother when you need a hand.
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that you'll understand.
We all need somebody to lean on.

Lean on me when you't not strong, and I'll be your friend.
I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna' need somebody to lean on.

You just call on me brother if you need a friend.
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that you'll understand.
We all need somebody to lean on.

If there is a load you have to bear that you can't carry.
I'm right up the road, I'll share your load if you just call me.

Call me ( if you need a friend)
Call me
(REPEAT AND FADE)

Here's a link to a site that has wedding songs on it. You can click on the songs and hear them and decide if any would work for you and your uncle. Some are strictly father/daughter but there are quite a few that are more general. HTH
