I've always loved What a Wonderful World.  L.  Armstrong

Check out Kenny Loggins.  He has made 2 great albums.  There are a few songs on there about your kids growing up and moving on.  

Answer 2

My dad and i danced to van Morrison's "have i told you lately that i love you".  I chose it b/c my dad was ALWAyS playing Van when i was growing up....it just seemed right.

Answer 7

My dad and I danced to "I Hope You Dance" by Leann Womack.  The song has great meaning ...

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder

You get your fill to eat

But always keep that hunger

May you never take one single breath for granted

God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small

When you stand by the ocean

Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens

Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance

I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance

Never settle for the path of least resistance

Living might mean taking chances

But they're worth taking

Lovin' might be a mistake

But it's worth making

Don't let some h**l bent heart

Leave you bitter

When you come close to selling out

Reconsider

Give the heavens above

More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance

(Time is a real and constant motion always)

I hope you dance

(Rolling us along)

I hope you dance

(Tell me who)

I hope you dance

(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)

(Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small

When you stand by the ocean

Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens

Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Dance

I hope you dance

I hope you dance

(Time is a real and constant motion always)

I hope you dance

(Rolling us along)

I hope you dance

(Tell me who)

(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)

I hope you dance

(Where those years have gone)

(Tell me who)

I hope you dance

(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)

(Where those years have gone)

Answer 8

My dad and I danced to "My Little Girl" by Tim McGraw.

Other suggestions I have are:

Butterfly Kisses

I Loved Her First

I would also have her ask her father if there is a song that reminds him of his daughter.
