Father daughter dance song. HELP!

Jessica, on July 28, 2011 at 2:11 PM Posted in Planning 0 14

I really need help with idea's on father/daughter songs. My wedding is in less than a month. My dad and I are extremely close. He's my best friend, and I know I'm going to break down during this dance. Since I was about 8 years old my father and I have always jammed out to Celine Dion in the car (even if we were just going down the street) I was thinking about using "because you loved me", but at the same time that is quite an intimate song, so I'm not too sure. Has anyone used that song before, or have any suggestions. Thanks ladies!

    Have you thought about asking your dad to pick the song out? That's what I'm doing...

    What about "My Little Girl" by Tim McGraw? or "I Loved Her First" by Heartland?

    Both songs are tear jerkers for me... and I'm thinking I'll use one of them for my father/daughter dance.

    I asked my dad what song he wanted and he really surprised me! its very original, but has meaning for us so im going with it!

    if your dad cant think of any "butterfly kisses" is a good one i forget who sings it.

    I agree. I'm having my dad help pick. I'm going to give him a few suggestions and he can pick from them or give me one of his own. I was really wanting a Randy Travis song because of memories of dancing around our kitchen, but I also really want his input.

    Thanks ladies! I asked my dad what he thought about "becasue you loved me" and he agrees that it's a good one. Especially because it's one of our favorite past times singing her songs.

    Glad you asked your dad! I made a list and asked my dad which one he liked, and he picked 'My little girl' by Tim McGraw. I loved her first was also on the list.

    If you both love the celine dion song, go for it!

    I also thought I was going to bawl during the father daughter dance, But I didn't! LOL

    My dad called me one day and told me about this song from Trace Adkins, titled "Just Fishin"... it is PERFECT for my dad and I. I grew up fishing with my dad and the song is about how the little girl thinks their just fishing but how the dad is enjoying all of the moment with his little girl because he knows she's growing up and he just wants to take in all the little moments they have together... I am going to bawl like a baby during our dance. My dad and I are very close as well. Good luck!

    It sounds like you would like your song to be a tribute to your dad so I would also suggest "You're My Hero". You can get it as a download or on a personalized gift CD you can play and then give to your dad at www.weddingmusiccentral.com.

    It's on my short list if my father punks out and won't pick one.
