Re: Father/Daughter Dance Song Suggestions?

I danced with my stepfather to "There You'll Be" by Faith Hill

The lyrics:
When I think back on these times
And the dreams we left behind
I’ll be glad cause I was blessed to get to have you in my life

When I look back on these days
I’ll look and see your face
You were right there for me

In my dreams I’ll always see you soaring by the sky
In my heart there’ll always be a place for you
For all my life
I’ll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you’ll be
And everywhere I am there you’ll be

Well you showed me how it feels
To feel the sky within my reach
And I always will remember all the strength you gave to me
You’re love made me make it through
Oh I owe so much to you
You were right there for me

In my dreams I’ll always see you soaring by the sky
In my heart there’ll always be a place for you
For all my life
I’ll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you’ll be

Cause I always saw in you my light, my strength
And I want to thank you now for all the ways
You were right there for me
(You were right there for me)
You were right there for me
For always

In my dreams I’ll always see you soaring by the sky
In my heart there’ll always be a place for you
For all my life

I’ll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you’ll be
And everywhere I am there you’ll be
There you’ll be……..

Re: Father/Daughter Dance Song Suggestions?

We're using "A Song for My Daughter". It's a special song that was made for Father/daughter wedding dances.

Re: Father/Daughter Dance Song Suggestions?

Are there any songs that have meaning for you and your Dad regardless of the words?

My Dad loves "Unchained Melody", Righteous Brothers and I grew up hearing stories about how when I was an infant my Dad would dance me around the living room cradled in his arms. Over the years it's become our song as we always dance to it at events, so it's just natural that I will use that song (although it's not your typical father/daughter song).

Butterfly kisses is always a safe (yet common) bet...

Re: Father/Daughter Dance Song Suggestions?

I think I will be using the Beatles son "In My Life" but the theme song version from Providence. If not, a Frank Sinatra song - my dad used to teach me to dance to Ol Blue Eyes when I was a little girl and my mom worked nights. We'd have small bottles (glass!!) of soda and pretzel rods from the candy store and dance all night!! A favorite song we danced to was "Hey Jealous Lover" but that might be a bit odd to dance with my dad on my wedding day!!! LOL!

Re: Father/Daughter Dance Song Suggestions?

I danced to "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder. I didn't want a slow song and I thought the song was perfect for us.

Re: Father/Daughter Dance Song Suggestions?

Lullaby by Billy Joel. I picked it because my dad used to hum and have my sisters and I dance on his feet. In the end of the song Billy Joel hums the melody. For some reason it just reminds me of being a little girl dancing on top of my dads feet.

Re: Father/Daughter Dance Song Suggestions?

"Memories" by Elvis Presley since we are both big Elvis fans. I grew p listening to him with my dad, so it was just a natural choice.

Re: Father/Daughter Dance Song Suggestions?

My dad and I danced to 'What a Wonderful World'. Something about that song that's always made us both get all choked up....
