Help Father of the bride dance song.


Please help me fellow gonners. My daughter is getting married next Saturday. She's asked me to choose the song for the fathers dance with the bride. Your suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have used "Turn Around" as sung by Nanci Griffith from the album "Other Voices, Other Rooms" for years - (I perform at a lot of weddings, and I often DJ the receptions.)
IMHO, it's less syrupy than Butterfly Kisses and Daddy's Little Girl, but every bit as poignant. Never a dry eye in the house after this one!
Was written by Malvina Reynolds, Harry Belafonte & Allen Greene, but I love Nanci's version the best.
Lyrics include:

Where are you goin' my little one, little one?
Where are you goin' my baby my own?
Turn around and you're two
Turn around and you're four
Turn around and you're a young girl
Going out of the door

Where are you goin' my little one, little one?
Little dirndles and petticoats, where have you gone?
Turn around and you're tiny
Turn around and you're grown
Turn around and you're a young wife
With babes of your own

Congrats and enjoy!

here's a different train of thought...

I doubt any song is adequately going to convey proper sentiments or speak to one’s soul. I’d choose something uplifting that you and her can dance too easily. Perhaps something by someone she likes, or something that touches some prior event you both enjoyed. It’s a big day for the both of you, maybe something out of both of your past remembrances’ would suffice. It isn’t necessary to shoot for perfect here…. Merely pleasant.
Just married off my daughter over the weekend! I used "Love and Happiness" by EmmyLou Harris off the "All the Road Running" cd by Mark Knofler. Beautiful song about your wishes for your children.
