Hey Ladies, need some help with a song to dance with my Dad to

I didn't want mushy either, but when I heard the song 'butterfly Kisses' It was perfect! I can't wait to dance with my dad to it!

The way you look tonight- Sinatra

its an awesome song, and not really mushy, but perfect for father/ daughter dance

Me, too. I was also looking for the nice and applicable, but not mushy route.

I wanted something a little more upbeat and light hearted too. My dad and I are both fans of Paul Simon, so I think we will be using this song:


Father and Daughter

If you leap awake
In the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction of a second
You cant remember where you are
Just open your window
And follow your memory upstream
To the meadow in the mountain
Where we counted every falling star

I believe the light that shines on you
Will shine on you forever
And though I can't guarantee
There's nothing scary hiding under your bed
I’m gonna stand guard
Like a postcard of a Golden Retriever
And never leave till I leave you
With a sweet dream in your head

I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you

Trust your intuition
Its just like going fishing
You cast your line
And hope you get a bite
But you don't need to waste your time
Worrying about the market place
Try to help the human race
Struggling to survive its harshest night

I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you

I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you

that song (paul simon)
makes me cry too

ohhh Im not dancing to it w/ my dad (though it IS on my must play list...) my dad is disabled, so he cant really dance to a fast song... we're using Through the Years by Kenny Rogers

(but thats a mushy song, so i didnt post it as a suggestion )

We are using 'My Girl' by The Temptations. I wanted to keep it light because otherwise, the both of us would be a mess.

using the same song!!! i love it. it gets the poing across without being too mushy.

For a 'not mushy' song, what about Kind and Generous (Natalie Merchant)?

You've been so kind and generous, I don't know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I'm in debt to you
For your selflessness, my admiration
For everything you've done, you know I'm bound, I'm bound to
thank you for it....

Na Na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na na

You've been so kind and generous, I don't know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I'm in debt to you
And I never could have come this far without you
For everything you've done, you know I'm bound, I'm bound to
thank you for it....

Na Na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na na

Oh, I want to thank you for so many gifts you gave with love and tenderness,
I wanna thank you
I want to thank you for your generosity, the love and the honesty that you gave me
I want to thank you, show my gratitude, my love and my respect for you,
I wanna thank you

Oh I want to thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you...

I love this one and I am thinking of using it for either dad dance or last song of the night.
