what's the best song to dance to for the father/daughter dance at a wedding?

Answer 1

Definately agree with the other two, butterfly kisses. Beware though, there will be tears!

Answer 2

I loved my song--the first half is called "Daddy's Little Girl" by Faith Hill and then Jeff Carson sings "Butterfly Kisses." It is about 4 minutes long and it gives the view of the girl singing to the dad and then the dad to the daughter. I downloaded it from the internet and it is hard to find. If you want it, please let me know or you can go to http://www.stinalisa.com/Daddy'sLittleGirl.html

The song plays as a background as well it takes you directly to Amazon where you can buy the CD for 5.98.
Here are the lyrics.
Daddy take me with you
I promise I'll be good
Daddy, this is next time
And momma said I could.

Sitting in the front seat riding down town
An ice cream cone
I'd wrap him around my little finger
Tighter then my baby could
You can make a tear go a long long way
When you're daddy's little girl.

Well he tightened my bike chain from 7 to 13
Taught me to drive when I was a wild thing
Reached and he prayed while I made some mistakes
That I wouldn't have made if I'd have done it his way.

Now he hugs me when he sees me
We talk about the past
He tries to give me money
And I try and give it back.

He's a book of advice
More then I need
The look in his eyes is saying to me
Let me help you all I can
While I'm still in this world
What will you do when you're daddy's gone
And you're daddy's little girl.


After this plays the butterfly kisses song.

Good luck!

Answer 3

I used Elton John's "Your Song."

Lyrics -

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

Answer 4

Heartland's I Loved Her First
Louie Armstrong What A Wonderful World
Joe Crocker You are So Beautiful
Tim's My Little Girl

or the classic (which I used) was Butterfly Kisses. But the others are great choices as well.

Though if your dad is a good dancer, a lot of the beach shaggin' music is awesome too.

Answer 5

Butterfly Kisses.

Answer 6

Any song that has personal meaning to you and your father. It doesn't matter if it's Butterfly Kisses or Jumping Jack Flash as long as it says something important to you.

Answer 7

Dance to the song that brings back the most fond memories for your dad. The day is already about you and your hubby, how nice to give tribute to your dad.

Answer 8

My dad and I willeither be dancing to I loved her first, Brown eyed girl or maybe even just the way you look tonight hope these can give you Ideas! LUCK!

Answer 9

I am going to dance to 'I loved Her first' by Heartland.

I seriously sobbed the first time I heard it! And my Dad got weepy too- it is just such a beautiful and perfect song!

Congrats!!

Answer 10

For me it was "Because you loved me" by Celine Dion. I danced that song with my dad at my sweet sixteen and then again at my wedding. My dad says that song makes him tear up everytime he hears it.
