Waltz (3/4 time) suggestions for Father-Daughter Dance?

Private User, on May 5, 2016 at 3:21 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8

I've been trying to find a song that both my parents and I like for the father-daughter dance. He would like a waltz and suggested sunrise-sunset by fiddler on the roof- which I don't really care for. Any ideas?

    My husband and his mother did a waltz to a song from a secret garden by Rolf Loveland.

    We danced to Turn Around by the Kingston Trio, which I think can be danced with a waltz.

    I will look these up. It needs to be three/four time, and could be anything from classical to something more modern.

    So She Dances - Josh Groban

    Forever Like That - Ben Rector (probably more of a first dance song, but it could work for a Father-Daughter dance too)

    I'll bet he got the idea from:

    http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=waltzes+for+father+and+daughter&view=detail&mid=CC9EE6AD7DB83B2E7F79CC9EE6AD7DB83B2E7F79&FORM=VIRE

    It was beautiful.

    Bing search on Waltzes for father daughter and there are like 8 videos that pop to the top.

    One of my favorite waltz songs from undergrad was Sarah McLachlan's Ice Cream :p

    That's a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion of Sunrise, Sunset. It's in 3/4 with a good tempo and appropriate lyrics! Most songs I've seen are love songs and not fitted to parent-child (we want it to be groom and mother too). I've been asking the same question and googling and most people don't seem to know what a waltz is! Only this (Sunrise Sunset) sounds a bit depressing. Did you come up with something better?
