What are some great songs for the bride to dance with her father to?

My wedding is May 23 and for now I've settled on "Daddy's Little Girl" but I know there is way more stuff out there. OTHER THAN Butterfly Kisses and Wind Beneath My Wings, what songs can a bride dance with her father to? I am pretty close to my dad but I don't want a song that is too wimpy. Any suggestions? List whatever you know.

Here are a few songs that you can consider. I think all of them are very nice for father/daughter dance:

Isn't She Lovely - Stevie Wonder

Butterfly Kisses (personally this is my favorite) Bob Carlisle, Daddy's Hands Holly Dunn, A father's love, My father's eyes Amy Grant, My precious baby, My little girl, Tough Little Boys Gary Allen.

I hope this helps a little bit. Congrats on getting married and good luck :)

'Dance With My Father" by Luther Vandross. Celine Dion also does a version if you want a female singer. The lyrics do imply that the father has passed away though if you have a live singer you may wish to alter the lyrics for the occasion.

Here is a video of Luther's version with lyrics:

If that doesn't work for you, there is a list of songs just for what you seek here:

I just recently got married this past November and my dad requested to dance with me to "I loved her first" - I forget who it's by but I think it's a country soung. Ask your dad what song he would like to dance with you to, he might have an idea.

I hate butterfly kisses, too. It makes me want to vomit. I suggest something fun and silly that you can dance to with some gusto- surprise your guests with some coordinated moves. Haha Have fun, and follow up with the slower more traditional daddy's girl dance. :)

My Little Girl ~ Tim McGraw

Have I Told Lately ~ Rod Steward

I Loved Her First ~ Heartland

L.O.V.E. ~ Nat King Cole

For Once In My Life ~ Frank Sinatra or Michael Buble

In My Life ~ the Beatles

Ready Set Don't Go ~ Billy Ray Cyrus

What A Wonderful World ~ Louis Armstrong

I Danced With Cinderella

My dad and I danced to "Forever Young" by Bob Dylan. It's got beautiful lyrics, but has that classic rock Dylan sound, so it doesn't sound as weepy as some can. It was perfect for us...maybe it'll be perfect for you as well!

I loved her first. I'm not sure who sings it. I think Heartland. But not sure. I love that song. Or stealing cinderella. A friend of mine danced to Isn't she lovely by Stevie Wonder.

Daddy's Hands by Holly Dunn

I'm close with my dad too and this song always makes me cry!

dance with my father by Luther Vandross,great song!!

The Way You Look Tonight- I like Michael Buble's version but Frank Sinatra, Elton John, Rod Stewart, many other's! sing it as well.

Dance with My father- by Luther Vandross

Isn't she lovely-Stevie Wonder

I'm doing "Blessed" by Elton John. It's sweet, but not overly cheesy :)

"My Little Girl" by Tim McGraw or "I Loved Her First" by Heartland both of those songs made me cry.

I loved her first by Heartland.

It is so amazing. Check out the lyrics!!!

I danced with my father to I Loved Her First by Heartland...and cried the whole time lol.

This is so cliche but I like "My Girl".

I Loved Her First - Heartland

We danced to Landslide by Fleetwood Mac. It was perfect for us!

I know you've gotten a lot of answers, but I hope you do read over mine too!;)

This song is great b/c your dad will really feel this one, very sweet but now cheesy or lame...

This song is a classic, no one else will have danced to it or seen it done at a wedding and the meaning is NOT cheesy like soooo many of the other "father daughter dance" choices people gush out. What is so great about it is that it's a song reminiscent of a place and time that means the world to you and is absolutely irreplaceable (I'm sure you feel that way about your dad)...

Just a good, classic but not overdone choice...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5IIXeR5OUI

Give this one a chance, consider how you and your dad will feel right than- this may be perfect...(and if you don't care for the duet version, I'm sure you can find a better one)

If you are concerned about being too serious or gushy, just choose the absolute perfect song for you two (it is your special moment with your dad after all) and as soon as the song is done, have the DJ put on something like "Boogie Shoes" KC and the Sunshine Band and have him request the grandparents and in-laws out to dance floor. Once they are out there, gettin down- you begin pulling other guests out! GREAT way to get everyone dancing and laughing.

here is the song, but i'd recommend finding the non-live version of course...

And if none of these quite work, or you just want to add a few more options to your list, this is a GREAT website to get hooked on...
