Perfect daddy daughter dance song

Lindsay, on September 29, 2011 at 5:57 PM Posted in Planning 0 18

So I am here trying to fill out my song list for my DJ and I could not find that perfect Daddy / Daughter dance song. I'm a complete daddy's girl so whatever I picked needed to be PERFECT. Well, I just came across Tim McGraw's "My Little Girl" and I started to cry. A GREAT song for all daddy's girls - if you can deal with country music. :-)

    Can deal? I love country. lol. My dad doesn't like newer Tim McGraw that much, and plus, I don't like where he says "he won't be good enough." I think my dad thinks dh is good enough. =)

    I knew I needed a country song though. I didn't want a sappy one that didn't really mean anything personally...

    I thought about doing Sugarlands "Baby Girl" because we went to a sugarland concert together when they first came out with that song, and we both loved it - him especially. He always made comments about it to me... BUT it just didn't hit the "daddy/daughter wedding dance" thing good enough. It was faster than I wanted, and it says "dear mom and dad" - and I hate my mom, etc. So I still played that but I thought of another song...

    It's one of his favorite singers. He used to play his songs on guitar for me when I was a baby and I still remember it. It's perfect for us and it had me crying like CRAZY...

    I loved her first is by Heartland not Tim McGraw, but I agree it's another great father/daughter dance song.

    I am using "Cinderella" by Stephen Curtis Chapman. Lesser known singer, but I can't even get through the song without losing it.

    'My Little Girl" is an awesome song!! Congrats on finding your song!

    This daddy's girl asked her daddy what he wanted and got "My Little Girl". I will be dancing to that song tomorrow night! EEK!

    Oh and a son-in-law is never good enough for daddy's little girl unless daddy has no respect for his daughter or is just a basic piece of scum. Our fathers want the best for us and no one can ever be as perfect as our fathers want them to be. But if we are lucky we get a man that our father can respect and love and who will be very close to good enough.

    I am down to 2 choices..."My Little Girl" or "Daughters" by John Mayer. I am like most of you...when I hear "My Little Girl" I tear up. And the whole "He won't be good enough" is just how I would describe how my dad feels. I am my dad's youngest daughter and his last to get married. Growing up, I wasn't allowed to have boyfriends and no guy was good enough. My dad gets along great with my FH and they have a lot in common but I know he thinks he is the only one good enough for me LOL. "Daughters" was the first song I ever heard by John Mayer and when I did hear it I was with my dad. I know I am using both just not sure what one will be the one use when my dad walks me down the aisle and the one I dance with him.

    I'm going to use "Angel in My Arms". It was a tough choice between that one and "You're My Hero" which would have been a song that's a tribute to my dad. They're both only available at www.weddingmusiccentral.com.

    "Frame by Frame" by: Michael "Rey" - Produced by: Curt Ryle - Performed by: Tim Cooper titled "Frame by Frame" It's a great Daddy Daughter dance song most have never heard. "Frame by Frame" explains how a Father copes with losing his daughter to marriage, and discovers he has not lost her at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mYxQ88iQLrA http://bestcountryweddingsong.wordpress.com/ We hope you enjoy it as much as we did getting the song on to CD & DVD.

    Daddy Dance With Me Duet by Chris Keith

    My little girl she sits on my knee

    Singing a nursery rhyme

    Out in the kitchen the radio’s playing

    And old fashion tune in three quarter time - and she says

    (Chorus)

    Daddy, dance with me - There’s nobody here to see

    Just hold my hands go 1, 2, 3. - Daddy, dance with me

    Doll clothes to High school, its prom night already

    A young man waits at our door

    Rushing down stairs is a beautiful girl

    She tells him to wait just one minute more - and she says

    (Chorus)

    Daddy, dance with me – Quick now before he can see

    Show me again what that step should be. Daddy dance with me

    (Bridge)

    Where does the time go? Tonight she’s a bride

    The band plays a waltz and there’s tears in my eyes and she says

    Daddy, dance with me -Everyone’s waiting to see..Your little girl I will always be. Daddy dance with me
