Father/Daughter wedding dance song

[boomer6447]

My baby girl is getting married a week from Friday. She's 24 and lived with me since her mom and I divorced since she was 15 until she started living with her fiance a couple of years ago. She graduated undergrad and just finished her 2nd year of law school. She was a great softball player in high school and a couple of years in college, then focused on her grades and got into law school...cliff notes, she is a wonderful daughter, and I am proud to walk her down the aisle....and pay for her wedding.
So I am looking for the perfect song for her and I to dance to at the reception.

So far I have settled on the Paul Simon song Father and daughter

She wanted something upbeat, and frankly anything too sappy and I would cry...lol. So that let's out butterfly kisses, which apparently is the top song for such a thing.

Anyway....if you have any thoughts, please share, I would appreciate it.

My wife chose that "Did you ever know that you're my hero" song. My mom and I danced to Mama by Boyz 2 Men. That was an absolute tear jerker for her

Any songs you remember from when she was young?
Something that is special between you two?

Did she ask that you pick it out?
The bride usually picks those songs.

My Girl (The Temptations song)

She asked me to pick it...And God Only Knows was the one from when she was young, but it's not really dad/daughter enough.

The Paul Simon song is a great song. Very beautiful and very meaningful.

You could use that song 'Butterfly Kisses' but it will leave everyone crying.

You could use that song 'Butterfly Kisses' but it will leave everyone crying.

It makes me cry when I hear it, because I think about how horribly cliche it is.

Daughters - John Mayer

That is a good one.

There is also this other song that my gf used to play a lot. It's about watching his daughter grow up and eventually becoming a woman. Beautiful song. When she gets home, I will ask her what that song is.

Then, the Beatles' "She's leaving home".

The John Mayer song is about a girl damaged by a bad relationship with her dad, not sure that is the song I want to dance too at her wedding.

 

[Gibson486]

Also, Greenday's "Good Riddance (Time of your life)"....

Graham Coxon's "You and I".

can't go wrong with "I loved her first" by Heartland

Please don't do Heartland. Everyone in the world does this, and you might regret it.
