Country father/daughter songs?

I want to do a country song for F/D dance, preferably an older one. Initially I wanted to do either George Strait, Alabama, Brooks & Dunn, or Alan Jackson because that's the style I used to listen to with my dad as a child, but I can't find any of their songs that make sense. I have already...

I want to do a country song for F/D dance, preferably an older one. Initially I wanted to do either George Strait, Alabama, Brooks & Dunn, or Alan Jackson because that's the style I used to listen to with my dad as a child, but I can't find any of their songs that make sense.

I have already considered:

Baby Blue but it's about his daughter who died young and I just think that's too sad

Drive (for Daddy Gene) but I don't like it as a dance song

Cowgirls Don't Cry but again, it's sad as the dad dies at the end

I'm not a fan of Heartland or Tim McGraw either..

Hoping for some unique suggestions, thanks!

    I had an idea for "Cowgirls Don't Cry". If you really like that song, speak the Dj, and see if he can remove the lyrics [singing] for the sad verse where the father dies, or splice it with a Karoke version, so that only the music plays. During that time, play a Pre-recorded heart-felt spoken message from you to your dad, in your voice, playing over the music. Have the music cut back in with lyrics at the chorus, where Reba starts with "Cowgirl ...". I think it would work beautifully with this song, and would be a very special surprise for your dad. Theoretically, you could do this with other songs you like, that simply end to sadly to be appropriate.

    My top 3 for my daddy/daughter dance are...
    1: I Loved Her First- Hartland
    2: My Wish- Rascal Flatts
    3: My Little Girl- Tim McGraw

    I am also dedicating a song to my mother and I am walking down the isle to "Moma's Song" by Carrie Underwood. The DJ will be slowing it down a couple notches!!!!
