In search of Father/Daughter song... (long!)

In search of Father/Daughter song... (long!)

I need some help ....

Without going into gory detail ... I have this really weird relationship with my dad. We are more friends than anything else. And sometimes not even that! Besides which, I'm about 40 yrs old. The usual 'daddy's little girl' songs don't really apply here. I feel really awkward about this -- and I am almost ready to scrap the whole idea.

Still - I want to try and do the right thing and have the father/daughter dance. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out what to do. I know that my dad likes to dance to C/W music. He's really good at it. I don't think a waltz would go over too well with him. As for me - I can do a two-step if it's not too fast!

I am trying to find a C/W song that is reasonably emotional (but not too!!) and can apply in this weird situation.

Any ideas??
Thanks girls! (& guys!)

My dad and I danced to 'Just the way you are' by Billy Joel.

Tough Little Boys
-Gary Allan
I never once backed down from a punch
Well, I take it square on the chin
Well, I found out fast, a bully’s just that
You’ve got to stand up to him

So I didn’t cry,
when I got a black eye
As bad as it hurt,
I just grinned
But when tough little boys grow up to be Dads
They turn into big babies again

Scared me to death,
when you took your first steps
Well I’d fall every time you fell down
And your first day of school,
I cried like a fool
And I followed your school bus to town

Well I didn’t cry when old Yeller died
At least not in front of my friends
But when tough little boys grow up to be Dads
They turn into big babies again

Well I’m a grown man
But as strong as I am
Well sometimes it’s hard to believe
How one little girl
With little blonde curls
Can totally terrify me

If you were to ask
My wife would just laugh
She’d say, I know all about men
And how tough little boys grow up to be Dads
They turn into big babies again

Well I know one day, I’ll give you away
And I’m gonna stand there and smile
But when I get home, and I’m all alone
Well I’ll sit in your room for awhile

(Repeat Chorus)

When tough little boys grow up to be Dads
They turn into big babies again
