What song are you using?

For your father/daughter dance? And who is the artist? (I'm doing a lyric search as well) I know this has been done before, and I did a search already but I just didn't find enough songs....

Re: What song are you using?

'you are so beautiful' by Joe Cocker (it has special meaning for us)

Re: What song are you using?

I did you typical Daddy's Little Girl - I let him decide the song

Re: What song are you using?

I think I'm using 'Through the Years' by Kenny Rogers.

Re: What song are you using?

We are dancing to 'The Very Thought of You'. Dad and I LOVE the song

Re: What song are you using?

I am using 'When You Say Nothing At All' By Alison Krauss. Here are the lyrics:

ALISON KRAUSS

'When You Say Nothing At All'

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all.

Re: What song are you using?

Because You Loved Me by Celine Dion

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through, through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

Re: What song are you using?

'Always Be Your Baby' by Natalie Grant

Love the song, always makes me cry

part of the lyrics:
'The way you love me made me who I am in this world / I'm a woman now, not a little girl / Wherever this life takes me, I'll always be your baby.'

Re: What song are you using?

I used this song for my daddy dance!


THERE YOU'LL BE

Faith Hill(Pearl Harbour soundtrack)


When I think back on these times,
And the dreams we left behind,
I'll be glad cause I was blessed to get,
To have you in my life,

When I look back on these days,
I look and see your face,
You were right there for me.

Chorus:

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky,
In my heart there'll always be a place for you,
For all my life,
I'll keep a part of you with me,
And everywhere I am there you'll be,
and everywhere I am there you'll be,

Well you showed me how it feels,
To feel the sky within my reach,
And I always will remember all,
The strength you gave to me,
Your love made me make it through,
Ohh I owe so much to you,
You were right there for me.

Chorus:

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky,
In my heart there'll always be a place for you,
For all my life,
I'll keep a part of you with me,
And everywhere I am there you'll be,

Cause I always saw you in my light, my strength,
And I wanna thank you now for all the ways,
You were right there for me, you were right there for me
Always!!

Chorus:

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky,
In my heart there'll always be a place for you,
For all my life,
I'll keep a part of you with me,
And everywhere I am there you'll be,
And everywhere I am there you'll be,

Re: What song are you using?

We'll be dancing to 'If I Could' - the version is by Barbra Streisand (my dad loves her) but I know at least one other version is done by Barry Manilow.
My dad didn't know it but he really liked it when I played it for him.

If I Could
I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
give you courage in a world of compromise
yes I would
If I could
I would teach you all the things I've never learned
and I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
yes I would
if I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
but the part of life I gave you isn't mine
I've watched you grow
so I could let you go
if I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
but I know that I can never cry your tears
but I would
if I could
if I live in a time and place where you don't want to be
you don't have to walk along this road with me
my yesterday won't have to be your way
if I knew
how I'd try to change the world I brought you to
and there isn't very much that I can do
but I would
if I could
if I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
but that part of life I gave you isn't mine
I watched you grow so I could let you go
if, if I could
I would help you make it through those hungry years
but I know that I can never cry your tears
but I would
if I could
yes I would
yes I would
if I could

Re: What song are you using?

I am thinking of Christina Aguilera
'I Turn To You'

When I'm lost, in the rain,
In your eyes I know I'll find the light, to light my way.
When I'm scared, losing ground
When my world is going crazy, you can turn it all around. (yes)

And when I'm down you're there pushing me to the top.
You're always there giving me all you've got.

For a shield from the storm
For a friend, for a love
To keep me safe and warm,
I turn to you.
For the strength to be strong;
For the will to carry on;
For everything you do;
For everything that's true,
I turn to you. (oooo yeah)

When I lose the will to win,
I just reach for you and I can reach the sky again.
I can do anything,
'Cause your love is so amazing;
'Cause your love inspires me.

And when I need a friend, you're always on my side;
Giving me faith taking me through the night

For a shield (For a shield) from the storm; (from the storm)
For a friend; for a love (for a love to keep me safe and warm)
To keep me safe and warm,
I turn to you. (I turn to you)
For the strength (for the strength) to be strong;
For the will to carry on;
For everything you do;
I turn to you. (ooo yeah oohhh)

For the arms to be my shelter through all the rain;
For truth that will never change;
For someone to lean on;
For a heart I can rely on through anything;
For that one who I can run to;(oooooo) (I turn to you oooooo yeah)

For a shield from the storm;
For a friend; for a love (to keep me safe a warm yeah yeah, I turn to you)
To keep me safe and warm,
I turn to you. (I turn to you)
For the strength (for the strength) to be strong;
For the will to carry on;
For everything you do; (everything you do)
For everything that's true;

For everything you do;
For everything that's true,
I turn to you.

Re: What song are you using?

i want to dance to 'when you say nothing at all' with FH at some point of the wedding. I LOVE that song (the alison krauss version)

Re: What song are you using?

OK, I'm probably the only one to pick a Bob Dylan song - Dad had us listening to Dylan when we were still in diapers.

We'll probably dance either to Forever Young (not the Rod Stewart song) or Shooting Star.

ETS: Oops! I was wrong - Dylan's Forever Young is not the same as Rod Stewart's - ooppsie!

Re: What song are you using?

we are dancing to 'can't smile without you' by Barry Manilow
perfect for us.
I didn't want anything too emotinal because my dad will be so emotional already, I wanted a happy tune.

Re: What song are you using?

Forever Young by Rod Stewart:
FOREVER YOUNG
(R. Stewart/J.Cregan/K.Savigar)

May the good Lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young

May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
with a prince or a vagabond

And may you never love in vain
and in my heart you will remain
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young
Forever Young

And when you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell

But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young ,Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young
For, Forever Young, Forever Young

Re: What song are you using?

'Unforgetable'- By Natalie Cole and her dad

Every wedding I have been to with him that has played that song we end up dancing to it. He sings the dad part and I sing the daughter part. I have the chills thinking about it. I get shaky knees when I hear it and he holds me up the entire time. I am going to be so emotional at my wedding I will need him to hold me up!

Re: What song are you using?

Thanks Rebecca. I edited my post with the lyrics. I think the song is perfect for a daughter/father relationship!
