I'm thinking of using as my Father/Daughter dance: You'll Be In My Heart - Phil Collins
Here's the lyrics
Come stop your crying It will be all right Just take my hand Hold it tight
I will protect you from all around you I will be here Don't you cry
For one so small, you seem so strong My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm This bond between us can't be broken I will be here Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart Yes, you'll be in my heart From this day on Now and forever more You'll be in my heart No matter what they say You'll be here in my heart always Always

A Song for my Daughter
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

Re: What song for your Father daughter dance?
Beautiful in my eyes.. Joshua Kadison
You're my peace of mind in this crazy world. You're everything I've tried to find, your love is a pearl. You're my Mona Lisa, you're my rainbow skies, and my only prayer is that you realize you'll always be beautiful in my eyes.
The world will turn and the seasons will change, and all the leassons we will learn will be beautiful and strange. We'll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs. My only prayer is that you realize you'll always be beautiful in my eyes.
You will always be beautiful in my eyes. And the passing years will show that you will always grow more beautiful in my eyes.
When there are lines upon my face form a lifetime of smiles, and when the time comes to embrace for one long last while, we can laugh about how time really flies. We won't say goodbye 'cause true love never dies. You'll always be beautiful in my eyes.
You will always be beautiful in my eyes. And the passing years will show that you will always grow more beautiful in my eyes. The passing years will show that you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes.

Unchained Melody. My Dad likes to tell me how he used to dance me around the living room to that song when I was a baby. It's always been our song.

We are dancing to You Lite Up My Life by Debbie Boone. I used to sing it around the house when I was little.

Re: What song for your Father daughter dance?
I think I am using To Sir With Love. I incorporated some of the lyrics in to a speech for my dad's wedding 5 years ago, so I thought it would be nice.
Those schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are gone But in my mind I know they will still live on and on But how do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume? It isn't easy, but I'll try
If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters That would soar a thousand feet high 'To Sir, With Love'
The time has come for closing books and long last looks must end And as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend A friend who taught me right from wrong and weak from strong That's a lot to learn, but what can I give you in return?
If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start But I would rather you let me give my heart 'To Sir, With Love'

Re: What song for your Father daughter dance?
'you are so beautiful' (most likely) He always sang that to me when i was a baby, so it has sentimental value. But I'm still looking for other possibilities. I like the words of that 'song for my daughter' song.

Daughter of Mine by John McDermott (Irish tenor)
These are the thoughts of a father On the wedding day of his daughter As his mind wanders back to the first time he held her He looks at her now, the same pride in his eyes As onto the dance floor they glide This is the dance of the bride and her father
Dance with me daughter of mine On this your wedding day Dance with me daughter of mine You'll soon be going away I loved you since you first began Now you've found a new man But I love you so, and this you must know That my love won't falter So dance with me daughter Beautiful daughter of mine
We walk down the aisle On my face there's a smile But deep in my heart there's a tear Our friends and relations are here in the church With smiles on their faces they stare As we walk t'ward the man who has stolen your heart And to whom I must give you away But I wish you love and happiness too On this your wedding day
Chorus
The dance has begun We twirl around the floor But I know you're not my little girl anymore A lovely young woman has taken her place And there's happiness written all over her face But always remember although we must part You may leave my arms but never my heart

Stephanie, the song you are using has the most beautiful lyrics! I truly do not think I could make it through that song without making a scene.... not a pretty sight I'd make!!
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary When troubles come and my heart burdened be Then, I am still and wait here in the silence, Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas I am strong, when I am on your shoulders You raise me up... to more than I can be. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas I am strong, when I am on your shoulders You raise me up... to more than I can be. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas And I am strong, when I am on your shoulders You raise me up... to more than I can be. You raise me up... to more than I can be oban, 'you raise me up'
We'll start to Nina Bonita by Tomas De San Julian in spanish and then I'm going to surprise daddy by having the DJ swtich over to You'll be in my heart by Phil Collins. We both love that song.
ETS: Just by reading some of the lyrics, I can truly say that there won't be a dry eye during that dance.

Not sure yet, but I was considering 'Unforgettable' with Nat king Cole and Natalie Cole.

Re: What song for your Father daughter dance?
My Dad heard this song and said it was the one...In My Daughter's Eyes by Martina McBride... Here is a link to hear it. Song You have to just look for the link that says 'listen' and click.
In my daughter's eyes I am a hero I am strong and wise and I know no fear But the truth is plain to see She was sent to rescue me I see who I wanna be In my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal Darkness turns to light and the world is at peace This miracle God gave to me gives me strength when I am weak I find reason to believe In my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand around my finger Oh it puts a smile in my heart Everything becomes a little clearer I realize what life is all about
It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough It's giving more when you feel like giving up I've seen the light It's in my daugter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes I can see the future A reflection of who I am and what will be Though she'll grow and someday leave Maybe raise a family When I'm gone I hope you see how happy she made me For I'll be there In my daughter's eyes
