Is Luthor Vandros's 'Song for My Father'

appropriate for the father daughter dance? My mom thinks it is too sad. What do you all think?

A lot of brides have used that song & it is really beautiful.... I think all of those songs are sad, just by virtue of what they mean, JMO

It is a beautiful song but isn't it for a father who died?

I think it is for a father who has past. It is sooo sad. It made me cry when I heard it.

Yup that is my mom's point but my father wants that or wind beneath my wings. I love my dad but he is NOT the wind beneath my anything!

I love that song, but in my opinion, it is too sad to use, since it is about a father who has passed away.

yea-no offense but i don't think that song is appropiate for the daughter/father dance since it is talking about him wanting his mom to dance with his father again now that he has passed away.

Lullaby is such a nice song to dance with your dad too-my SIL did that @ their wedding and it was so nice! I never thought of it!

Here ya go:

I remember when you use to take me on a
Bike ride everyday on the bayou (you remember that? we were inseparable)
And I remember when you could do no wrong
You'd come home from work and I jumped in your arms when I saw you
I was so happy to see you (I was so excited, so happy to see you)

Because you loved me I overcome
And I'm so proud of what you've become
You've given me such security
No matter what mistakes I make you're there for me
You kill my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understood my fears and you protected me
Treasure every irreplaceable memory and that's why…

I want my unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you for loving me

I still remember the expression on your face
When you found out I'd been on a date and had a boyfriend (my first boyfriend, you should have seen your face)
I still remember I caught you crying cause of my tattoo
Could have said beyonce I told you so
Instead you said you'd get one too (even my mama said y'all get one just like mine)

Words can't express my boundless gratitude for you
I appreciate what you do
You've given me such security
No matter what mistakes I make you're there for me
You kill my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understand my fears and you protected me
Treasure every extraordinary memory and that's why…

I want my unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you for loving me

Even if my man broke my heart today
No matter how much pain I'm in I will be okay
Cause I got a man in my life that can't be replaced
For this love is unconditional it won't go away
I know I'm lucky
Know it ain't easy
For men who take care of their responsibilities
Love is overwhelming
Can't help my tears from falling
I love you so much daddy

(Thank you, you've done so much for me. I love you daddy.)

I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you
I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you
There is no one else like my daddy
No one else replace my daddy…

DANCE WITH MY FATHER LYRICS:

Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around ‘til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
How I’d love, love, love
To dance with my father again
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way, I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
‘Cause I’d love, love, love
To dance with my father again
Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I’m praying for much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved
I know you don’t do it usually
But dear Lord she’s dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
