Re: Unique daddy daughter songs

'You've a Friend' by James Taylor or Carole King?

'They Can't That Away from Me' by Gershwin? (Cut out the one part in the beginning referring to 'romance.')

'I Get a Kick Out of You' by Cole Porter? You might want to cut out the part about cocaine in the original lyrics.

'Other Pleasures' or 'The First Man You Remember' from the musical 'Aspects of Love?' Both are sung by a father to his daughter in the show.

'Our Children' from the musical 'Ragtime?' In the show, a man and a woman (not married to each other) talk about their respective children.

There's always 'Butterfly Kisses' but you asked for unique and that song is popular.

Re: Unique daddy daughter songs

I am using a song called Daughter of Mine because its like a waltz/slow polka and we want to be able to really dance as opposed to sway slowly...BUT
a song that I love that I think would be great it

The Wonder of You by Elvis
not a typical daddy song but it works so nicely!

Re: Unique daddy daughter songs

I had two dads to dance with and I didnt want something everyone knew so I picked two seperate songs that meant something for each Dad. I have not seen many people use these either so It is Unique.

TIM MCGRAW~~ MY LITTLE GIRL. (LISTEN TO IT ON YOU TUBE!)

Verse 1: ]
Gotta hold on easy as I let you go.
Gonna tell you how much I love you, though you think you already know.
I remember I thought you looked like an angel
wrapped in pink so soft and warm.
You've had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born.

[ Chorus: ]
Beautiful baby from the outside in.
Chase your dreams but always know the road
that'll lead you home again.
Go on, take on this whole world.
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.

[ Verse 2: ]
When you were in trouble that crooked little
smile could melt my heart of stone.
Now look at you, I've turned around and you've almost grown.
Sometimes you're asleep I whisper 'I Love
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/xs ]
You!' in the moonlight at your door.
As I walk away, I hear you say, 'Daddy Love You More!'.

[ Chorus: ]
Beautiful baby from the outside in.
Chase your dreams but always know the road
that'll lead you home again.
Go on, take on this whole world.
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.

[ Verse 3: ]
Someday, some boy will come and ask me for your hand.
But I won't say 'yes' to him unless I know, he's the half
that makes you whole, he has a poet's soul,
and the heart of a man's man.
I know he'll say that he's in love.
But between you and me. He won't be good enough!

[ Chorus: ]
Beautiful baby from the outside in.
Chase your dreams but always know the road
that'll lead you home again.
Go on, take on this whole world.
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.

My second song for me and my step-Dad:
HEARTLAND~I LOVED HER FIRST!!
Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each others face
So much in love your alone in this place
Like there's nobody else in the world
I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one
She told me so
And she still means the world to me
Just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl
Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it still hard to give her away
I loved her first

How could that beautiful women with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But its still hard to give her away
I loved her first

From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first

Re: Unique daddy daughter songs

I'm thinking of using 'isn't she lovely' by stevie wonder because its a little faster paced. My dad requested nothing too slow or mushy because he can't handle it!

Good song choice! You could look up a cover version of this song.

I love the song Stand By Me but felt it was too slow so I looked it up online and found a slightly faster version of a cover band called The Wedding Singers. We ended up using that version for the wedding.

I loved her first by Heartland

Re: Unique daddy daughter songs

I wouldn't say our was different as much as it was just a more unknown song. We used Crissette Michelle's 'Your Joy.' Very pretty song!

ETA: A couple weekends ago we went to my friends wedding in MA and she and her dad danced to Kanye West 'Gold Digger.' it was awesome!

this really is a good song! My sister in law wanted to use it, but we all burst out laughing at the part 'Between you and me, he won't be good enough!' LOL!

Re: Unique daddy daughter songs

My dad wants to dance to 'Fields of Gold: by Sting

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold


or

'Blessed', by Elton John

Hey you, you're a child in my head
You haven't walked yet
Your first words have yet to be said
But I swear you'll be blessed

I know you're still just a dream
your eyes might be green
Or the bluest that I've ever seen
Anyway you'll be blessed

And you, you'll be blessed
You'll have the best
I promise you that
I'll pick a star from the sky
Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that, promise you that, promise you that
You'll be blessed

I need you before I'm too old
To have and to hold
To walk with you and watch you grow
And know that you're blessed

Can't pick!!!!!
