Father daughter dance

So I thought I had it figured out. Johnny cash "bridge over troubled water". Mom told me it was incredibly depressing. I thought she was being too critical so asked others for advice and they all agreed. Even my fiance kept saying not to listen to her then listened to the song himself and afterwards started looking up other options lol. Anyway now I'm trying to find an oldie (dad really enjoys) trying hard not to pick the usual and he is not a fan of the Beatles. Only thing I like so far is "reach out" by the four tops but it's pretty fast and we don't have a lot of moves. Any suggestions out there??

    Can I also add that had I realized how stressed every single decision would make me we would be on our way to Vegas in 40 days 🤣

    Go for a song that makes you think of him, or that has meaning to your relationship

    It's not old but 'baby don't cry' by Jamie Johnson is awesome.

    What about "The Way You Look Tonight" by Frank Sinatra? I actually just mentioned on another thread that I will be dancing to "Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole with my mom, which is a beautiful song (sung by a father and daughter), and that might work well for you

    My dad and I are going with "I Loved Her First" by Heartland. You could pick a song that represents the relationship between you and your dad.

    My Dad and I will be dancing to Daddy's Little Girl by The Shires. I found a couple of lists online with suggestions and sent it to my Dad. He picked this one!

    Is he an oldies fan or a classic rock n' roll/country fan? These are some of my ideas for country/rock

    Sweet Child O' Mine -Sweet Child O' Mine

    All of My Love -Led Zeppelin

    Father and Daughter- Paul Simon

    Isn't She Lovely -Stevie Wonder

    Don't Want to Miss a Thing -Aerosmith

    Southshine- Allman Brothers

    Why not do Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel, or another cover other than Johnny Cash's? It's a beautiful song about friendship that most people like, of course the only issue might be that it's quite long.


    Why not ask your dad?
