Father/Daughter dance?

Question

I'm getting married in a few months. I love my dad and I know he loves me. He is not the sentimental type and does not show any emotions. I know he loves his family, but just doesn't know how to show it. My relationship with my dad is not like those father/daughter relationships where they hang out and talk all the time. I'm wondering what type of song we should dance. I don't want a slow song. I wanted something more upbeat.

Answer 1

You love each other and you said that he doesn't know how to show it but I bet if you asked your mom what song would be good she would give you one that would work.  From what my dad said, when you have a daughter you dream about walking them down the isle and the first dance.  I bet you he would love a slow song.  It isn't to weird.  You spend most of the time whispering at each other.  I think there is a song called Daddy's Little Girl.  Come on it's tradition.  You can do it.

Wind blowin' on my face

Sidewalk flyin' beneath my bike

A five year-old's first taste

Of what freedom's really like

He was runnin' right beside me

His hand holdin' on the seat

I took a deep breath and hollered

As I headed for the street

Chorus

You can let go now, Daddy

You can let go

Oh, I think I'm ready

To do this on my own

(It's still) (It still feels) a little bit scary

But I want you to know

I'll be okay now, Daddy

You can let go

I was standin' at the altar

Between the two loves of my life

To one I've been a daughter

To one I soon would be a wife

When the preacher asked,

'Who gives this woman?'

Daddy's eyes filled up with tears

He kept holdin' tightly to my arm

'Til I whispered in his ear

(Repeat Chorus)

It was killin' me to see

The strongest man I ever knew

Wastin' away to nothin'

In that hospital room

'You know he's only hangin' on for you'

That's what the night nurse said

My voice and heart were breakin'

As I crawled up in his bed, and said

You can let go now, Daddy

You can let go

Your little girl is ready

To do this on my own

It's gonna be a little bit scary

But I want you to know

I'll be okay now, Daddy

You can let go

You can let go

Answer 6

Daughter by Loudon Wainwright.  It's not cheesy, and it's upbeat.  I used a Thin Lizzy song called Sarah, but unless that's your name it won't work.

Answer 7

Butterfly kisses is a great song
