Father-Daughter Dance that focuses on the Dad?

This is the Amy Grant...

Im doing Fix up by coldplay

because it sums up my dad whos always there for you (actually its my step dad) I havent picked a dance to dance with my real dad yet ugg

Sorry Fix you (not up)

Ooh... good song... I'm just worried that the tempo is too slow and my dad would get awkward. He's not the biggest dancer and sometimes the slowest tempos can be the hardest.

Thats a good point maybe you could ask him to pick his song?? that way he can feel a part of things planning wise

I'm doing Stealing Cinderella by Chuck Wicks. It's focused on the dad, it makes me tear up every time I listen to it.

Yeah... I'm trying to give him a few choices with different tempos... fast, slow, medium. Then we can talk about it and figure out if we need a dance class or something!

I'm having the same problem you are! I loved that song too but I could not STAND the vocals, I keep finding that with a lot of songs. Great lyrics = bad vocals [well, not technically 'bad' just not my style? idk]

So I'm stumped!

How about "I loved her first" by Heartland..that's the song I'm doing with my gpa..love it!

I danced to hero by mariah carey with my uncle and loved it (although we talked the whole time lol he's the only dad I have and made sure he got his fatherly advice time in)

Hey- If you love "my father's eyes" you should check out the original by Eric Clapton. (I'm assuming Amy Grand did a version of it- but the original is a gorgeous song!!)

I am going to use Daddy's hands by holly dunn. I am an older bride and have kids so this definitely is an understanding at this point in my life.

@ LauraLovesYou, actually, I thought the same when I saw the title, but it's a totally different song! I looked into the Clapton, but it's really more about having a son than a daughter and more about becoming a parent than getting married.

@Nicci, beautiful lyrics, but I'm not much of a country gal. Just personal preference. Thanks for the rec, though! @Jeanette, that one's a little better, but still too country for me.

I tend to prefer the folk side of country, if anything. It gets a little less... twangy, for lack of a better word. I usually don't have a problem with the music. It's the vocals I don't tend to care for, particularly when they do that little country twist/twang. Is there a music term for that?

@msshay, I'd totally forgotten about "Hero"! Thanks.

Im either doing cinderella by steven curtis chapman, or i loved her first by heartland. im only hesitating cuz i love the lyrics to heartland but im not crazy about the vocals... but i love both with cinderella. lol. but i think i loved her first is geared a little more toward the dad. hes saying, mine! lol
