HELP. Father daughter dance

Monica, on May 12, 2016 at 8:18 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 12

Any suggestions I need help finding the right song. My father and I only became close when my son was born 10 years ago prior to that we had no relationship, no hugs, no talks so the songs I'm finding online don't seem right. Any suggestions that don't imply a loving happy childhood. The past 10 years have been the best as he is now a recovered alcoholic and is a changed father.

    I think Daughters by John Mayer would be a good option, because it's talking about how fathers should be good to their daughters because one day they'll turn into mothers (reminds me of your situation). Or my wish by rascal flatts, and it could be saying that your dad wishes nothing but the best for you "I hope you know somebody loves you". Love both those songs Smiley smile

    Samantha I'm glad you explained what daughters was about lol - I just listened to it briefly tonight while also searching for father/daughter songs but I clearly didn't give it enough play time lol

    My biological dad and I will be dancing to "I loved her first", we have never really been close but both love the song. My stepdad has always been more of a father to me. We are dancing to "You are my sunshine" because when he came into my life I was about 10 years old and every morning he would wake me up singing that song. You will find that perfect song.

    Would it be wrong to have him pick a song?

    I'm in a similar boat. My dad and I don't exactly have the best relationship. I love John Mayer's Daughtrs but thought it was a little too much of a slap in the face. I've also heard the song "I loved her first" but I just can't...

    Run River North - Growing Up

    Here's some of the lyrics for you.

    "I'm finding peace don't come

    To everyone I know,

    So I will love in this life

    Until I finally have to go."

    "Growing old

    Feels like you're giving up your soul.

    I'd rather give it freely

    To the ones that I call home."

    A couple songs FH and I have been contemplating are Frank Sinatra - The Way You Look Tonight, Lee Ann Womack - I Hope You Dance, Elton John -Tiny Dancer (love this song), Billy Joel - Piano Man and Michael Bublé - The Best Is Yet to Come. I still have lots of time to decide though so I'm taking my time.

    My dad thinks he was such a great dad. He knows we don't have the best relationship but he doesn't ever think anything is his fault, so why would he think our lack of a relationship is his fault?!

    @monica I asked my dad about the song choice, I think it's def good to get his opinion too. You wanna make sure he's comfortable with the song

    My dad has had a hard time accepting that his baby (youngest of 2) is getting married so we are doing You'll be in my heart from Tarzan.

    I am dancing to my little girl by Tim mcgraw I liked it because it's from the father's perspective. No matter what kind of relationship we have I will always be his little girl.
