I think dad picked our father daughter dance song.. here are the lyrics...

We were going to use lullaby by Billy Joel but he wanted something not so sad... so he found this one.. here are the lyrics..

Paul Simon

Father And Daughter

If you leap awake in the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction of a second you can't 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 a 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 'til I leave you with a sweet dream in your head

[Chorus:]
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
It's just like goin' fishin'
You cast your line and hope you get a bite
But you don't need to waste your time
Worryin' about the market place
Try to help the human race
Struggling to survive its harshest night

[Chorus:]
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 THINK I LOVE IT!!! What is everyone else doing?

that's a really cute song! I have heard it before....it's a little faster tho, you should practice dancing to it! haha....my mom suggested that anyway, my dad is NOT a good dancer.....I think the box step is all he knows, and even that, not really....!

I told him we have to choreograph a dance.. we have a huge dance floor and we cant just use one small square!!! Dance lessons here we come!

aww that will be so cute!! my dad could never handle choreography! have fun!!

I can cry with those lyrics.. who sings it?
I think i am using ' I loved her first ' (anther tear jerker)

I bet that will be very nice, the lyrics sound so sweet

I was thinking of Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle.
We had the DJ remix it at my sweet sixteen so that it included an English and Spanish version and the wedding piece didn't play.
I wanna finish the song this time!

Beautiful song!!!

There's a new song by Billy Ray Cyrus called 'Ready, Set, Don't Go' ..I love it!! He has a version by himself and one with his daughter who is actually Hannah Montannah lolz but I promise the song is not kiddish...here's the lyrics..

(BILLY RAY:)
Shes gotta do what shes gotta do
And I've gotta like it or not
Shes got dreams to big for this town
And she needs to give 'em a shot
Wherever they are

(MILEY:)
Looks like I'm all ready to leave
Theres nothin' left to pack

(BILLY RAY:)
Aint no room for me in that car
Even if she asks me to tag along
Gotta gotta be strong
(MILEY : Gotta gotta be strong)

(CHORUS)
(MILEY:)
I'm at the startin line of the rest of my life
As ready as I've ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes
The prize is mine to win
(BILLY RAY:)
She's waitin' on my blessins
`Fore she hits that open road,
Baby get ready,
(MILEY:)
Ohh Im ready
(BILLY RAY:)
Get set,
Don't go.



(MILEY:)
Looks like things are fallin in place

(BILLY RAY:)
Feels like theyre fallin apart
Im paintin this big ol' smile on my face
To hide my broken heart
If only she knew

(MILEY:)
This is where you don't say
What you want so bad to say

(BILLY RAY;)
This is where I want to
But I wont get in the way
Of her and her dream
And spreadin her wings

(MILEY:)
I'm ready to flyyyyy!

(CHORUS)
(MILEY:)
Im at the startin line of the rest of my life
As ready as Ive ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes
[Ready Set Don't Go lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

The prize is mine to win
(BILLY RAY:)
She's waitin' on my blessins `fore she hits that open road,

(BILLY RAY:)
Baby get ready,

Don't go
(MILEY:)

(CHORUS)
(MILEY:)

As ready as Ive ever been
(BILLY RAY:)
Youll be alrighttt!
(MILEY:)
Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes
The prize is mine to win

She's waitin' on my blessings before she hits that open road,
