Dancing with Dad!


Recommended Posts

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)

a girl I met the other day danced to "I loved her First" a country song that is a bit of a tear jerker.. so again not what you're looking for!

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!!!

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.

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.

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
