How do you guys feel about this song?

Heartland - I Loved Her First

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab4VRWX8y1A

I don't know -- It's really hard for me to find a song. My dad and I are not close and a song talking about how perfect I am would be a lie... LOLLOL. I know there has got to be a lot of brides on here that are hands down mommy's little girls But anyway, what do you think about this song? Kind of sounds like a song a dad is singing while the bride&groom are dancing... But I know a lot of people use this song...So who knows!!

Lyrics:

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 think its a beautiful song and of course every relationship is different but I personally am not close with my Dad either and I posted about this once before. For me, it would be a little to sentimental since I'm not close to him but you could feel a totally different way about your Dad. Not that I've chosen yet either, but I saved some songs at home that might be contenders for my situation.

It's actually going to be a sentimental moment for me as well, because well, a moment like this has never happened, and hardly ever happens. We never dance...hug each other...say I love you, etc. I just don't want a song about me being perfect and an angel, because...LOL, let's not go there

Not sure if our situations are different, but I would love to see your song selection!

My aunt used that song when she got married last october and it was perfect. I used Dar Williams The One Who Knows. My dad picked it out all by himself and it was absolutely perfect for us.

Time it was I had a dream
And you're that dream come true.
If I had the world to give
I'd give it all to you.
I'll take you to the mountains,
I will take you to the sea.
I'll show you how this life became a miracle to me.

You'll fly away, but take my hand until that day.
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done you'll be the one who knows.

All the things you treasure most
will be the hardest won.
I will watch you struggle long
before the answers come.
But I won't make it harder,
I'll be there to cheer you on.
I'll shine the light that guides you down
The road you're walking on.

You'll fly away, but take my hand until that day.
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done you'll be the one who knows.

Before the mountains call to you,
before you leave this home,
Wanna teach your heart to trust
As I will teach my own.
But sometimes I will ask the moon
Where it shined upon you last
And shake my head and laugh and say
It all went by so fast.

You'll fly away, but take my hand until that day.
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done you'll be the one who knows.

That is why I am using 'The Way You Look Tonight'. I was never really close with my father. I had also considered 'I Hope You Dance'.

My sister pick a song our dad would sing around the house because she said they haven't made song to express her true feelings. That's other thread. Is there a song that means something to him?

I love that song!!


My FH is dancing with his step mother who he's not very close with (long story). So we chose Sunrise, Sunset by Fiddler on the Roof. (We did choose a different artist than the original thouhg). And Fh will dance with his step mom at the same time I dance with my dad.

Personally, I am not a fan of the song although it is a appropriate for a father/daughter dance.

I went to a wedding recently and father/daughter danced to that song. I thought it was so fitting and just really beautiful.

I say go for it - sounds very appropriate and sweet

Re: How do you guys feel about this song?

I like it. I don't know if I would use it though for myself. I'm probably going to let my dad pick a song, I'm not very mushy, so even though I am close with my dad and we have a good relationship, i don't know if i want to be overly emotional with the song.

We used the first verse and chorus of this song at our wedding and then we went into a chorus of My Girl.

i'm not doing a father/daughter dance... but i think that would be a great song for the dance.

Re: How do you guys feel about this song?

I used this song for my father/daughter dance. I am just as close with my dad as i am with my mom and it meant a lot to us both...gorgeous choice but if you're not close with your dad, another song i saw used which was nice was Rod Stewart's 'Have i told you lately that i love you.' It was really special
