I would say it would depend on your relationship with your dad. I am getting married Sept. 1st and my dad and I are dancing to 'I Loved Her First' by Heartland. There is also ' My Little Girl' by Tim McGraw. The usual 'Butterfly Kisses' by Bob Carlisle.
My fiance and I are dancing to 'You're Still The One' by Shania Twain.
My only suggestion is listen to the words of the song before you choose one. I wanted a song that meant something and related to our relationships.
Good Luck and Congrats

i dont know if you listen to country but theres a song called "i loved her first" by heartland, as soon as i heard it i thought that it would be a good father daughter song at a wedding.
Look at the two of you dancin' that way
Lost in the moment and each other's face
So much in love, you're 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
I loved her first
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's still hard to give her away
I loved her first
How could that beautiful woman with you
Be the same freckled-face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairytales 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
I loved her first
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's 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 goin' through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first
Ooh, ooh
As far as with your husband, I think you should pick a song that means something to both of you, do you have "a song"? If not sit down and listen to different songs you like and try to pick one together, good luck.

I always thought "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion was a great song for a father and daughter. "Daddy" by Beyonce is really sweet, too.
As for your dance with your husband, if you don't have a song that means a lot to you two, try "At Last" by Etta James, "Spend My Life With You" by Eric Benet f/ Tamia, or "Oh My Love" by John Lennon. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Here's a good one for you and Dad. Butterfly Kisses by Jeff Carson:
Artist/Band: Carson Jeff
Lyrics for Song: Butterfly Kisses
Lyrics for Album: Butterfly Kisses
There's two things I know for sure.
She was sent here from heaven,
And she's daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night,
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes.
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life.
Oh, but most of all:
For, Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayers.
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
"Walk beside the pony daddy,it's my first ride.
"I know the cake looks funny, daddy, but I sure tried."
With all that I've done wrong I must have done something right,
To deserve a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses at night.
Sweet sixteen today.
She's lookin' like her mamma a little more every day.
One part woman, the other part girl;
To perfume and make-up,
From ribbons and curls.
Trying her wings out in a great big world.
But I remember:
Butterfly kisses.
She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise, and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride room just staring at her,
She asked me what I'm thinking,
I said: "I'm not sure.
"I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
Then she leaned over....
An' gave me, Butterfly kisses with her mamma's air.
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
"Walk me down the aisle, Daddy, it's just about time.
"Does my wedding gown look pretty, Daddy? And Daddy, don't cry."
With all that I've done wrong I must have done something right,
To deserve a her love every morning,
And a butterfly kisses for life.

I used "I loved her first" by Heartland for my father's dance, and my husband and I danced to "Amazed" by Lonestar. Another good song for first dances is "Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts.

I have 2 dads and I let them pick out the song and it was a surprise to me. I wanted them to be able to express themselves and how they felt that day. I think they really enjoyed it.
My husband and I danced to 2 songs. God blessed the broken road and Its your Love by Faith Hill and Tim McGraw.

I used wonderful tonight by eric clapton for me and my husband, and my girl by the temptations for my father/daughter dance...both went over very well!
