Is this song totally inappropriate for Father/Daughter dance?
I didn't want an overtly mushy song, because that's just not me. Not that I don't have a good relationship with my father, just I'm not a touchy feely demonstrative kind of girl.
We originally had Billy Joel 'Just the Way You Are', his choice. My mom was creeped out by it and said it wasn't appropriate for father/daughter. FH was a little creeped out too. Plus our first dance is 'She's Got a Way', which sounds really similar. And FH wants to play 'You May Be Right' at some point, and doesn't want it to be overload with 3 Billy songs.
So my dad agreed to switch, and was trying to think of another song. We have 4 1/2 days to come up with one. He said Sunrise, Sunset, but I don't know how serious he was. Plus the song means really nothing to us.
I've always loved Billy Joel, Vienna. I feel like the lyrics really just describe me to a T. But it's almost a negative connotation to the song...but for me it sounds like when my father tells me to calm down and not be such a basketcase all the time. But then we're back to the 3 Billy Joel songs dilemma. What do you think? Keep looking, or use this?

Slow down, you crazy child
you're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me
Why are you still so afraid?
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You've got so much to do and
Only so many hours in a day
But you know that when the truth is told..
That you can get what you want or you get old
You're gonna kick off before you even
Get halfway through
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Tonight,...
Too bad but it's the life you lead
you're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong, you know
You can't always see when you're right. you're right
You've got your passion, you've got your pride
but don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you crazy child
and take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile
it's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize,..Vienna waits for you?
And you know that when the truth is told
that you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get half through
Why don't you realize,. Vienna waits for you
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
