My dad and I are dancing to "Lullabye" by Billy Joel. What type of music do you usually like to listen to?

The song that touches my heart the most is Butterfly Kisses By Bob Carlile..Cliche But it is sooo True...

First of all...HI! I don't recognize your name, so I thought I'd welcome you to the boards...if you've been here before well then welcome back!

Anyways, I'm not really one for tips on Father-Daughter dances...but I did look up something for you. This site has THREE PAGES of ideas. http://www.weddingvendors.com/music/father_dauther_dances/ (http://www.weddingvendors.com/music/father_dauther_dances/)

If you like country music, I think "Tough Little Boys" by Gary Allan is perfect. Its about a father and his daughter. In the song it even has a part about "One day I know Ill have to give you away."
Good Luck with your choice.

Here's a site that has lists of songs for lots of different areas of the wedding. I know if I could get myself to move to that point, I'll be using it. LOL. It has a lot of great ideas too.

Hi Rebecca,
A suggestion-I wasn't crazy about the traditional songs for the father/daughter dance. My father and I danced to "My father's Eyes"-by Eric Clapton.

or "There Goes My Life" by Kenny Chesney...that's a good one too...although, it doesn't directly mention weddings...both make me cry though :(

"Tough Little Boys" is best wedding song. :hearts:
