Answer 2

Definitely go with Heartland - I Loved Her First

Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each others face
So much in love your alone in this place
Like there's nobody else in the world
I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one
She told me so
And she still means the world to me
Just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl
Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it still hard to give her away
I loved her first

How could that beautiful women with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But its still hard to give her away
I loved her first

From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first

Answer 4

Hi there! Well I am getting married in October and the song my Dad and I are dancing to is called "I Loved Her First". It is by a group called Heartland. I guess they are considered a country group and I am not much into country music...but I love this song, it is beautiful. Another idea is "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle.. Good Luck to you and Congrats! ~Jodi

Answer 7

Here's a link to a TON of appropriate songs for the Father/Daughter dance http://ultimatewedding.com/music/category.php?n=2

Here's my personal favorite:

Daddy's Hands" by Holly Dunn

I remember Daddy´s hands, folded silently in prayer.
And reaching out to hold me, when I had a nightmare.
You could read quite a story, in the callouses and lines.
Years of work and worry had left their mark behind.

I remember Daddy´s hands, how they held my Mama tight,
And patted my back, for something done right.
There are things that I´ve forgotten, that I loved about the man,
But I´ll always remember the love in Daddy´s hands.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin´.
Daddy´s hands, were hard as steel when I´d done wrong.
Daddy´s hands, weren´t always gentle
But I´ve come to understand.
There was always love in Daddy´s hands.

I remember Daddy´s hands, working 'til they bled.
Sacrificed unselfishly, just to keep us all fed.
If I could do things over, I´d live my life again.
And never take for granted the love in Daddy´s hands.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin´.
Daddy´s hands, were hard as steel when I´d done wrong.
Daddy´s hands, weren´t always gentle
But I´ve come to understand.
There was always love in Daddy´s hands.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin´.
Daddy´s hands, were hard as steel when I´d done wrong.
Daddy´s hands, weren´t always gentle
But I´ve come to understand.
There was always love .....
In Daddy´s hands.



This link has the words and the song plays in the background. It's a county song, but it's still so sweet. http://susie1114.com/Daddyhands.html

Answer 8

I would say "Can you feel the love tonight" by elton john or maybe "Butterfly kisses"-i am not sure who "Butterfly kisses" is by but my boyfriend made me a mixed cd and that song is on there and it is about daddy's little girl-or maybe "forever young" by rod stewart-supposedly he wrote that for his kids, and the song is awesome! Good Luck and Have Fun!

Answer 9

Butterfly kisses
Daddy's Hands

Answer 10

This Dance, I think its by Garth Brooks. That is what I used at my wedding.
