Father/Daughter dance songs

[roo66]

I love luther vandross dance with my father again,just because i would stand on his feet whilst he twirled me around.Last fathers day i sent him a card with a little girl dancing with her feet on her daddys and he cried just looking at the picture before ever reading the words

great thread..I have no idea what I am going to dance with my father to yet.

I am leaving in four days and I am stupmed on this dance! I cannot find a song I like....... music is really important to me and my dad, so I'd rather pick an artist we like and then an appropriate song, but none of the lyrics are appropriate...............

 

I am considering ''In My Life'' by the Beatles, but it has no meaning to us.

 

I really don't want anything sappy. H E L P

We did: Nickle Creek "When you come back down"

 

and now everytime I hear the song I bust out crying.

If you like the beatles, what about "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys

 

Or "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John?

 

On the cheesy side, there is "My Daughter" by Loudin Wainwright III (the song plays in the closing credits of "Knocked Up" -- looooove it)

 

I'm the same way, my dad and i aren't into sappy, but maybe you'll feel different when the song pops on?

I love In My Life by the Beatles. My FSIL had it at her wedding though...my Dad and I will be dancing to Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder!

 

I love the song and can't wait to dance with my Dad!

I hadn't even thought about this!

I think my dad and I are going to dance to "I hope you Dance" by Lee Ann Womack. He used to sing it to me all the time as a little kid and I think it fits perfectly for giving your daughter away!

Same hear. We are doing this song, because it's beautiful and perfect for us and because we used to listen to Paul Simon. The Graceland 'tape' used to be on repeat in the car when we did road trips. =)

I heart this song!!!

oK, I think I will give my dad these three choices and he can decide...

 

1) In My Life - The Beatles

2) The Way You Look Tonight - Frank Sinatra

3) When Stars go Blue - The Corrs w/ Bono

 

The Beatles, Sinatra and Bono are all artists with meaning for us so that fits! My dad really wanted a George Michael song, but I have to find one that didn't have an inappropraite meaning. LOL I was considering his version of 'Feeling Good' but my FI vetoed it................. *pulling my hair out!!!
