Song ideas for Step Father Daughter dance at wedding?

Question

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of songs that would be good for my step father and me to dance to at my wedding. My step dad and I are close but not that close. He is a workaholic and I honestly hated him at first lol. So, it was rough times at first but now things are great. Does anyone have any ideas?? Thanks!

Answer 1

I would use the song "He Didn't Have To Be" by Brad Paisley. It's perfect for a step father/daughter dance. Here are the lyrics:

When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new

It always winds up feeling more like a job interview

My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone

Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run

I met the man I call my dad when I was five years old

He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go

A few months later I remember lying there in bed

I overheard him pop the question and prayed that she'd say yes

And then all of a sudden

Oh, it seemed so strange to me

How we went from something's missing

To a family

Lookin' back all I can say

About all the things he did for me

Is I hope I'm at least half the dad

That he didn't have to be

I met the girl that's now my wife about three years ago

We had the perfect marriage but we wanted somethin' more

Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends

Crowded 'round the nursery window as they bring the baby in

And now all of a sudden

It seemed so strange to me

How we've gone from something's missing

To a family

Lookin' through the glass I think about the man

That's standin' next to me

And I hope I'm at least half the dad

That he didn't have to be

Lookin' back all I can say

About all the things he did for me

Is I hope I'm at least half the dad

That he didn't have to be

Yeah, I hope I'm at least half the dad

That he didn't have to be

Because he didn't have to be

You know he didn't have to be

Or here are a few other choices that I can think of:

Isn't She Lovely - Stevie Wonder

Oh How The Years Go By - Vanessa Williams

She's Leaving Home - The Beatles

Smile - Nat King Cole

I just heard the most amazing song that I personally think would be perfect.  But, you judge for yourself.  It's called "When I Needed You Most" by Kimaya Seward.  Below are the lyrics and I've also included a link where you can listen to a portion of the song.  It's selection # 2 and you'll need to scroll down a little bit for the link.  Hint...get your tissues ready!

They say miracles don’t happen every day

But in my heart I know that isn’t true

There are blessings that are more than merely miracles

And every day…in every way

That blessing is you

CHORUS

You stepped into my life

When I needed you most

Growing so close

You shared my tears and my laughter

You opened my eyes

To the kind of love you give

And your love will live

In my heart forever after

There are heroes in this world who go unsung

Yet they touch so many lives along their way

With no spotlight no applause…they’re like shining stars

And every day… in every way

You’re my hero

CHORUS

Life isn’t always easy

But you’ve never turned away

And deep inside I know

I’ll always bless the day…

CHORUS

Tell your step dad that you would like to dance a special dance with him at the reception and you would like for him to pick out the song and surprise you with it. Give him the DJ's phone number beforehand to make sure he has the song though.
