Father-daughter song HELP!

TheLuckiest, on January 7, 2013 at 7:32 PM Posted in Planning 0 7

Ladies, I need help. The first dance song is picked: "Under a Blanket of Blue," by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. The dinner music is selected (Frank, Dean, Andy, Tony, Nat, Ella, Louis, Harry, Michael, et. al). Now I need help with a father-daughter song, hopefully along the same lines ("Unforgettable" is a little too creepy for father and daughter, I don't know what Natalie Cole was thinking). I've checked in the songs section of WW, but I'm just not finding the right feel to the music.

My mom always thought my dad and I would dance to "Butterfly Kisses," but I think I would prefer something a little more sophisticated. Please help by providing suggestions!! Thank you!

    My sister & dad danced to The Beatles "In My Life" Which was very pretty. My dad & I are dancing to Steven Curtis Chapmans "Cinderella"

    Kirsten, you and I are having the same dinner music! Love!

    I've been getting my Dean, Tony, Frank, Louis, Otis, Ella, Louis Prima and more all queued up! Love to see another bride with the same taste!

    What about Frankie's - "The way you look tonight"?

    I'll start researching some more father/daughter songs because I need one as well!

    Me again Smiley smile

    I was googling for some ideas...

    For fun dancing: Stevie - "Isn't she lovely"

    Or the Temptations: "My Girl"

    James Taylor - "how sweet it is to be loved by you"

    Louis - "What a Wonderful World"

    Paul Simon - Father and Daughter

    Jimmy Buffet - slow song: "Little Miss Magic"

    Harry Belafonte - "turn around"

    Harry Connick - "a wink and a smile"

    Lisa, I will run these by my dad. I listened to about half of them, and felt there is just something missing in some. This is so difficult, you would think with all the weddings we have in this country that picking a father-daughter song would be easier than picking out a card at hallmark, but so far I'm not finding the right words.

    Thank you for the help, and I'll check out the rest of the songs you mention that I haven't heard yet!
