Father/Daughter wedding song for estranged relationship?

Question

I want to do a father/daughter song, but my father and I really don't speak. What would be a perfect song for an estranged father?

Answer 1

yes. there is a song called "incest is best" by mikal felts

here are some lyrics:

the way you touched me

papa

meant the world to me

papa

will you walk me down the aisle OF LOVEE

papa......

Answer 2

If you don't speak with him, are you looking for a song because you want to or feel obligated to?

Maybe "you are so beautiful" by joe cocker?

Answer 3

haha, i asked this same question a week go :)

"dad isn't walking me down the isle, father daughter dance?" was my question title...

i picked a slow song but doesn't even relate to my dad in no way possible. lol it's called "old blue chair" by kenny chesney. it's not country sounding, but it's slow and sounds really nice...and no one can ever really hear allll the words...

my other option was "cowboy in me" by tim mcgraw. the first few lines are "girl u know there's times you must have thought, there ain't a line you've drawn i haven't crossed."

dont do "because of you" by kelly clarkson- it's a horrible song no matter who the father is...

Answer 4

Try "One" by U2.

Answer 5

if you don't speak, is there a point in having a father/daughter dance, other than tradition? are you trying to rebuild your relationship? is the relationship worth rebuilding? is what he did to make you not speak to him, forgivable?

Answer 6

If you're not close to him and you don't want to make anything seem fake, it strikes me as odd that you are choosing to have a father/daughter dance since that means that you do have a close relationship.

You could keep the song very generic such as Lee Ann Womack's "I Hope You Dance". While the song "Because of You" by Kelly Clarkson does fit with your situation, it's not the most appropriate choice.  

Answer 7

I dont know...thats a tough one. i cant really suggest a song cause all the ones that i can think of are really personal between a father and daughter. But in whatever you choose remember he is your father and no matter how many mistakes he has made not being there for you, he still loves you!

Good Luck and I hope it all turns out good!!

Answer 8

It's a beautiful world by Louis Armstrong

Answer 9

Do something that focuses more on you than the relationship between a father and daughter.  Something like "Brown Eyed Girl", "The Way You Look Tonight", or "Isn't She Lovely"

Answer 10

Here are a few songs that I can think of that might be appropriate. You may want to ask your DJ if they have any suggestions. They might know the perfect song for this instance:

Smile - Nat King Cole

I Hope You Dance - Leann Womack

Landslide - Fleetwood Mac

She's Leaving Home - The Beatles

Daughters - John Mayer

I Wish You Love - Natalie Cole

Oh How The Years Go By - Vanessa Williams

Tiny Dancer - Elton John

My Girl - The Temptations

Answer 11

To try and make this in to  a "dad this  is a tribute to you and all you've done for me" kind of moment  would  be so fake. SO with  that in mind try and keep it a bit more light hearted and fun. A slow sentimental song with the both of you trying to make the best of an uncomfortable situation  would  just be wrong and silly. I suggested "Isn't she Lovely" (Stevie Wonder) to a bride to be in a similar situation to yours in a question  I answered yesterday, maybe even  drag  him along to a dance lesson or two.  

Answer 12

the only one i can think of right now is "because of you" by kelly clarkson
