Dancing with Dad!

[kiki317]

MY dad and i are dancing to Frank Sinatra's "the way you look tonight".

 

i also like Harry Conick Jr's "Wink and Smile" but we're huge Sinatra fans so there it is.

oh my goodness-I didn't read every post yet, I got to page 1- clicked on the youtube for "I Loved Her First" and found myself in tears! This HAS to be my song as well. I love my daddyyy I know he'll be crying with me when we dance to it.

K- NOW I am done reading every post- and thank you thank you thank you everyone- I've compiled a list- but I still love "I loved her first."!! We'll see what my dad says

We FINALLY agreed on a song! We're going to dance to "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this song? I am worried it might be more of a love song than anything- though it does talk about being there and being your friend etc. Here are the lyrics though I am sure everyone has heard the song: You walked with me, Footprints in the sand, And help me understand, Where I'm going, You walked with me, When I was all alone, With so much unknown, Along the way, Then I heard you say, I promise you, I'm always there, When your heart is filled With sorrow and despair, I'll carry you When you need a friend, You'll find my footprints in the sand. I see my life flash across the sky, So many times have I been so afraid. And just when I, I thought I lost my way, You give me strength to carry on, That's when I heard you say, I promise you I'm always there When your heart is filled With sorrow and despair And, I'll carry you When you need a friend You'll find my footprints in the sand. When I'm with you, Well I know you've been there, And I can feel you when you say, I promise you (you) I'm always there When your heart is filled (when your heart) With sadness and despair (and despair) I'll carry you when you need a friend (need a friend) You'll find my footprints in the sand. (I promise you) Ohh. (I'm always there) When your heart is full of Sadness and despair, (and despair) I'll carry you when you need a friend. (I'll carry you) You'll find my footprints in the sand.

Scarletina--- I think that sounds like a great "father-daughter" song! Go for it!

I I loved her first is a beautiful song!!!

I I loved her first is a beautiful song!!! Every word in the song is just perfect!!

Can't remember if it's been mentioned, but "Daddy's Angel" is a pretty perfect country song.

 

Also, for those looking for a song from the daughter's point of view, there's a song called "It's for My Dad" by Nancy Sinatra (it starts a bit slow, but gets much more dance-able after the intro).

 

Still don't know what I'm picking, and the wedding is in a week!

Me either!! But I might hope on the "A Wink & A Smile" Harry Connick Jr. boat as my father and I have exactly that relationship ... we're friends and we have SUCH a laugh ... it has to be something a bit more lighthearted I think ...

 

Though I do love Sinatra and so does he ... hmmm ... I have no idea!!

I'm trying to decide, but right now am leaning towards "My Girl"
