Default Father-Daughter Song: Idea!

After having a super hard time searching for a spanish father-daughter song, I gave up and came up with: Stylistics - You Make Me Feel Brand New.

[Lyrics]
My love
I'll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words could not explain
Precious love
You held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again

Only you
Cared when I needed a friend
Believed in me through thick and thin
This song is for you
Filled with gratitude and love

God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song cause you
Make me feel brand new

My love
Whenever I was insecure
You built me up and made me sure
You gave my pride back to me
Precious friend
With you I'll always have a friend
You're someone who I can depend
To walk a path that never ends

Without you
My life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay
You for having faith in me
[/Lyrics]


So 2 questions:

1) Are the lyrics nice enough for a father-daughter song or does it seem more like a couples song?

2) I really like this song (makes me tear up EVERY TIME), but my mom is crazzyyyy about it. So I thought it would be nice to have FI bring my mom 1/2 way through to trade partners, then some of BP goes out to dance as well, like an official start to the dancing part of the reception??

What do you think?
