*Casey* Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Ok... so I'm reading this thread at work, and am pretty much balling at this point. Just thinking about that dance. My dad and I have always been so close, and since we're true southerners, it would only be appropriate to use a country song. I grew up on it, and love it. So now it's time to pull myself together, and go look at the funnies board. Awesome suggestions everyone!... (tear) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davematthews16 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Thanks for the post! There are a lot of songs that I never even thought of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for others who may be interested here's a link to it on youtube: YouTube - I Loved Her First I just went to You Tube and listened to it. Thank you for sharing because I just found the song for my Father-Daughter Dance!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancunbride2009 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I am thinking of 'I'll stand by you' by Rod Stewart since my dad is a big Rod Stewart fan. The Carrie Underwood version is also very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Jamie~ Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I was just about to make a post about "I'll stand by you." I was thinking the Carrie Underwood version. We are doing the father/daughter and mother/son dance at the same time, so I was hoping this would work.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamster808 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Mt stepmom wants us to dance to Butterfly Kisses. But I am not sure that I want a father/daughter dance. I LOVE MY DAD! If we do wind up having one it will be an upbeat dance. Probably an oldie. Everyone is so surpirsed (my FI is mainly embrassed) that I know oldies as well as I do. But that is what we use to listen to on road trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neen Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I haven't chosen a song yet, but my dad and i aren't particularly close so i'm not doing an "announced" father-daughter dance...i'll just choose a song and when the dj plays it, i'll find my dad and dance with him. keeps the uncomfortable all alone center of attention thing down, but we'll still have a dance together.

caracolgin Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 That's a good suggestion! I actually work with my dad so our relationship is weird, we are almost too close! We spend EVERY day together! I think I need to do something upbeat and happy not sappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Casey* Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I think I've decided on "Two People Fell in Love" by Brad Paisley. It's me and my dad's favorite song because it's so close to our family. It's a beautiful and heartfelt song about how the only reason we are here is because two people fell in love and cycle it takes. It just hits close to home when it talks about the family reunions and stuff. Definitely give it a listen, if you don't know the song... Here are the lyrics: Two People Fell In Love lyrics A baby's born in the middle of the night in a local delivery room They grab his feet, smack him till he cries he goes home the next afternoon 'Fore you know it he's off to school and then he graduates in May Goes out and gets a Ph.D. and then cures all sorts of things Wins a Nobel Prize and saves a million different lives The world's a better place for all he's done It's funny when you think about the reason he's alive It's all because two people fell in love Right now at a picnic shelter down by Caney Creek You'll find potato salad hot dogs and baked beans The whole Wilson family's lined up fillin' their paper plates They've drove or flown in here from fifteen different states Well Stanley Wilson says that sixty years ago he knew That Miss Emma Tucker was the one Now five generations get together every June All because two people fell in love [1st Chorus] There ain't nothin' not affected When two hearts get connected All that is, will be, or ever was Every single choice we make Every breath we get to take Is all because two people fell in love Well, I recall a young man who was driftin' aimlessly And a young waitress who seemed lonesome as could be But in a little cafð³ right off of fourteenth avenue With a whole lotta help from up above We met and things sure turned around for me and you And all because two people fell in love [2nd Chorus] Baby, there ain't nothin' not affected When two hearts get connected All that is, will be, or ever was I'm glad your dad could not resist Your mama's charms and you exist All because two people fell in love [Tag] You know, to me it's all so clear Every one of us is here All because two people fell in love A baby's born in the middle of the night in a local delivery room They grab his feet, smack him till he cries he goes home the next afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
