Dancing with my Dad

I won't be dancing with my dad but if I was I think I would ignore all the guaranteed to make everyone cry songs and go for what a wonderful world.

My cousin is a DJ and he says Luther vandross' song 'dancing with my father' is a popular choice

This is one of the two wedding traditions we are keeping in. Mainly because I'm a big daddy's girl! So we are having the beach boys - God only knows

We danced to Paul Simon "Father and Daughter". Quite soppy but we both loved it. one of my favourite memories from the wedding.

Some popular choices. Hope this helps, James

The Way You Look Tonight (Sinatra / Buble)
The Wonder Of You (Elvis)
Daddy’s Angel (T. Carter)
What A Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong)
You Are So Beautiful To Me (Joe Cocker)
You Are The Sunshine Of My Life (Stevie Wonder)
Your Song (Elton John)
Just The Way You Are (Billy Joel)
Somewhere Over the Rainbow (Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole version)
You Are My Sunshine (various)
Unforgettable (Natalie and Nat King Cole)
When You’re Smiling (Louis Armstrong)
Isn’t She Lovely (Stevie Wonder)
I Loved Her First (Heartlands)

We are dacning to Hearltand - I loved her first (it makes us both cry which is saying something us my Dad is not the crying type at all) We've just booked to have dance lessons as we are going to suprise everyone with a proper choreographed slow waltz!

Wow I love that idea.

I love that a PP mentioned "I loved her first". That one always makes me cry. "You're Gonna Miss This" by Trace Adkins is another tear jerker. My father and I will be dancing to "What a Wonderful World". Growing up my father was in a barbershop quartet and would always perform that song, so it was a no brainer. My sister has her heart set on "Butterfly Kisses" which talks about a father's feelings towards his daughter when she's a child, at her sweet sixteen, and finally, on her wedding day.

There were some great ones mentioned already but here are a few more upbeat ones:

"My Wish" by Rascal Flatts

"Forever Young" by Rod Stewart

"How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" by James Taylor

Wow, some amazing songs suggested, thank you. I had been leaning towards Heartland's "I loved her first" but now I've seen all these suggestions it is back to youtube!
