Father daughter songs?

Linziloo84, 1 December, 2011 at 13:24 Posted on Planning 0 15

Hi everyone

Me and my Dad have been searching for months on and off and we are struggling to find one we both like!

We are really close amd probably know we will both cry (what softies lol) so doesn't matter how mushy it is.

We've searched all the online websites that give you ideas but not really keen on the majority if them lol!

We have so far come up with two possibilties that are contenders which are Frank Sinatra - The way you look tonight and Simply Red - For your babies.

We like both but wondered if there were any other different songs that aren't as obvious as the ones on all the websites?

    We're having Teenage Wedding by Chuck Berry. But then I'm not a mushy type of person. Mine and OH's first dance isn't a slow one either.

    We sing this in our house to both our children: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtT3xSSKmMQ (we just change the lyrics to mother/father/daughter/son/baby depending on who is around!).

    It makes me cry every time I hear it, its such a beautiful song. If Aliya ever gets married I would love it if she danced with her Daddy to this song. Although I might need to be carted off hysterically sobbing....

    I'm having 'I lover her first'.

    My dad doesnt know this tho. He not a sentimental person or one for showing his feelings, nor is he one for being centre of attention so if i told him he wouldnt do it so instead i'm gona arrange for the band to play this and i will go get him and bring him to the dancefloor.
