Re: need help with song!

There's a song suggestion list here on the planning board. We used 'The Way You Look Tonight' from the movie Father of the Bride

My Baby YOU - is our song - it is a song Marc Anthony wrote for his daughter it is just beautiful...

Re: need help with song!

I asked my dad to decide on a song and he says he has chosen one. My only stipulation was that he not choose 'Daddy's Little Girl'

I HATE THAT SONG!

My friend danced with her dad to 'You Raise Me Up' and another friend of ours played that song for both sets of parents to have a dance to.

I know someone who used My Girl and it was different and fun!

I am the oldest girl and I am sure me and my dad will be crying so maybe he chose something a little more upbeat...I can hope can't I???

Re: need help with song!

We used 'I Knew I Loved You Before I Met You' by Savage Garden. If you listen to the words, it really fits.

There wasn't a dry eye in the house and I still cry when I hear it.

Re: need help with song!

We picked A song for my daughter by Ray Allaire. I didnt want Daddys little girl or butterfly kisses either.

Just once upon a yesterday
I held you in my arms
You grew into a little girl
with lovely childhood charms
Now it seems I only turned around
And I see you by his side
Oh, I can't believe my eyes today
My Daughter is a Bride

I guess somehow I always knew
This day would soon be here
Still I wonder as I look at you
What became of all the years
And no words could ever quite express
The way I feel inside
Oh, I can't believe my eyes today
My Daughter is a Bride

All the laughter and the teardrops
The sunshine and the rain
I would relive every moment, Dear
If I could bring them all back again

But now, My Love, the time has come
To send you on your way
So I wish you every happiness
And the blessings of this day
And I hope the love I've given you
Will forever be your guide
Oh, I can't believe my eyes today
My daughter - Oh, I can't believe my eyes
My Daughter - Oh, my angel and my pride
My Daughter is a Bride
