Father daughter dance, song but for grandpa-granddaughter.?

Question

My parents died many years ago, So instead of my dad walking me down the isle, it will be my grandpa. I would also like to do the father-daughter dance, but with my grandpa. I am having a hard time finding a good song that would fit. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Someone to Watch Over Me, it is a song from the Crooner age written around the 1920's your Grandfather will know it I'm sure. It also will not over tax either one's dancing skill level as it has a lovely flow to it. I'm not sure as to whether Michael Buble has recorded it or not. You may need to look it up, possible there is a digitally remastered copy of the original and you could do a mix for the dance. Eg Original leading into most recent recording artist.
Reason I say this song is that your Grandparents were there to 'watch over you' when your parents died. And now he is entrusting you to your husband to 'watch over you'.

Grandpa, Tell Me About The Good Old Days-The Judds

Love Can Build A Bridge-The Judds

Love can build a bridge
'Tween your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge
Don't you think it's time
Don't you think it's time

I would gladly walk across the desert
With no shoes upon my feet
To share with you the last piece of bread I had to eat

(That is all I know)

Butterfly kisses-Bob Carlisle
The Dance-Garth Brooks
The Rose-Bette Midler
Unforgettable-Nat King Cole/Natalie Cole
Wind beneath my wings-Bette Midler
My Girl-The Temptations
Because you loved me-Celine Dion
Everything I do, I do it for you-Bryan Adams

Answer 5

I would have to say Butterfly kisses! It is a very pretty song for a father-daughter dance or even for grandfather-granddaughter dance.

Answer 6

This is the grandpa song by the judds. If it fits your grandfather then cool. I was thinking of "He didn't have to be." Or maybe since your parents have passed, you could also play "Holes in the floor of heaven" by steve wariner.


Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good ole days.
Sometimes it feels like
This world's gone crazy.
Grandpa, take me back to yesterday,
Where the line between right and wrong
Didn't seem so hazy.

Did lovers really fall in love to stay?
Stand beside each other come what may?
Was a promise really something people kept,
Not just something they would say?
Did families really bow their heads to pray?
Did daddies really never go away?
Whoa oh Grandpa,
Tell me 'bout the good ole days.

musical interlude


Here is Holes in the floor of heaven:

One day shy of eight years old

when Grandma passed away

I was a broken hearted little boy

blowing out that birthday cake

how I cried when the sky let go

with a cold and lonesome rain

Mamma smiled said don’t be sad child

Grandmas watching you today


Chorus:

Cause there’s holes in the floor of heaven

and her tears are pouring down

that’s how you know she’s watching

wishing she could be here now

and sometimes if your lonely

just remember she can see

there’s holes in the floor of heaven and she’s

watching over you and me


Seasons come and seasons go

nothing stays the same

I grew up fell in love

met a girl who took my name

year by year we made a life in this sleepy little town

I thought we’d grow old together

Lord, I sure do miss her now



Chorus:

But there’s holes in the floor of heaven

and her tears are pouring down

that’s how I know she’s watching

wishing she could be here now

and sometimes when I’m lonely

I remember she can see

there’s holes in the floor of heaven and she’s

watching over you and me

Well my little girl is 23 I walk her down the aisle

it’s a shame her Mom can’t be here now

to see her lovely smile

they throw the rice I catch her eye

as the rain starts coming down

she takes my hand says daddy don’t be sad

cause I know Mamma’s watching now



Chorus:

and there’s holes in the floor of heaven

and her tears are pouring down

that’s how you know she’s watching

wishing she could be here now

and sometimes when you’re lonely

just remember she can see

there’s holes in the floor of heaven and she’s

watching over you and me.

Hope this helps. Sorry its so long.
