Help! I need a new Father/Daughter dance..

Question

I was originally going to dance to butterfly kisses, but it's such a mushy song.. and my relationship with my dad has been a bit tense lately. Anyone know of anything a little shorter and not as mushy? I always thought of this one, and now it doesn't quite seem appropriate..

Answer 1

How about "Somewhere over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" or "In my Life"-the Beatles?

Answer 2

I Loved her First...by Heartland

Look at the two of you dancing that way

Lost in the moment and each others face

So much in love your alone in this place

Like there's nobody else in the world

I was enough for her not long ago

I was her number one

She told me so

And she still means the world to me

Just so you know

So be careful when you hold my girl

Time changes everything

Life must go on

And I'm not gonna stand in your way

But I loved her first and I held her first

And a place in my heart will always be hers

From the first breath she breathed

When she first smiled at me

I knew the love of a father runs deep

And I prayed that she'd find you someday

But it still hard to give her away

I loved her first

How could that beautiful women with you

Be the same freckle face kid that I knew

The one that I read all those fairy tales to

And tucked into bed all those nights

And I knew the first time I saw you with her

It was only a matter of time

But I loved her first and I held her first

And a place in my heart will always be hers

From the first breath she breathed

When she first smiled at me

I knew the love of a father runs deep

And I prayed that she'd find you someday

But its still hard to give her away

I loved her first

From the first breath she breathed

When she first smiled at me

I knew the love of a father runs deep

Someday you might know what I'm going through

When a miracle smiles up at you

I loved her first

This may bring back happier memories for him, since your relationship has been a bit tense lately. It's an amazingly beautiful song.  

Answer 3

Dance with My Father-Luther Vandross

Answer 4

My Little Girl - Tim McGraw

I Loved Her First - Heartland

Both really sweet songs. Not too mushy.

Answer 5

Here are a few songs that I could suggest that aren't quite so "mushy"

My Girl - The Temptations

Daughters - John Mayer

Oh How The Years Go By - Vanessa Williams

She's Leaving Home - The Beatles

Cinderella - Steven Curtis Chapman

Stealing Cinderella - Chuck Wick

Isn't She Lovely - Stevie Wonder

Father's Eyes - Amy Grant

I hope that this helps. You can also ask your DJ if he has any good suggestions. I am sure that he will know of a nice song.

Good luck!  

Answer 6

A whole new world- from Alladin

My Girl- Temptations

Thanks Again- Ricky Skaggs

Unforgettable-Natalie & Nat King Cole

Answer 8

hmm...have u listened to cinderella by steven curtis chapman? you mite like it

Answer 9

I used "isn't she lovely" by Stevie Wonder. My sister used "turn around " she's a young girl, turn around she's... it's an oldy. Both are about the past so maybe that's what you can focus on.
