OMG, father daughter dance, never would have thought

Lullaby by Billy Joel. At first I didn't think so b/c I've heard the song like a million times and then I actually read the lyrics and i am balling. Maybe it is just everything with the wedding but seriously, it really got to me. I wan't to use it but I can't be balling while I'm dancing. I don't want the ugly cry face in the pics.

Goodnight my angel, time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go, no matter where you are
I never will be far away

Goodnight my angel, now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an Emerald Bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark and deep inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me

Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this lullabye
Then in your heart, there will always be a part of me
Someday we'll all be gone, but lullabyes go on and on
They never die, that's how you and I will be

I love love love that song, and am thinking about using it for father daughter dance. I think no matter what song you choose you're going to end up crying because the whole dance is so emotional.

My cousin danced w/ my uncle to this song at her wedding last year. It was very nice and refreshing to hear something different.

I LOVE THIS SONG which is why I choose it as my father/daughter song. My dad cried the whole way through it and he's NOT the emotional type.

Bill Joel wrote this song, because his daughter asked him what death is....he didn't know how to respond and so he wrote this song.

See it here on youtube!

I am using that as my father/daughter dance unless daddy objects. I know I will be crying and so will he. But i think it makes it that much better.

That is nice!!

My Mom wanted Dad and me to dance to some Billy Joel song, I forget which one. I'm not really a fan of BJ's...

I remembered this song that I used to like, it may have been in commercials 'Times Of Your Life' the version I like is by Paul Anka. Every song I'd think was good, even for FH and me, had line one line in it that didn't work. It's so annoying picking that out.

When I read the lyrics to my song it made me cry too, then when I played it again, I cried. I think it's natural!


Good morning, yesterday
You wake up and time has slipped away
And suddenly it's hard to find
The memories you left behind
Remember, do you remember

The laughter and the tears
The shadows of misty yesteryears
The good times and the bad you've seen
And all the others in between
Remember, do you remember
The times of your life (do you remember)

Reach back for the joy and the sorrow
Put them away in your mind
The mem'ries are time that you borrow
To spend when you get to tomorrow

Here comes the saddest part (comes the saddest part)
The seasons are passing one by one
So gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life

Gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life
Of your life
Of your life

Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life
Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life
