    I think this may be kinda popular but I'll be using Daughter by Loudon Wainwright.

    We used an Irish song about the place my dad is from but if we hadn't I would have used 'Wonderful World' by Louis Armstrong  because my dad loves that song or I've always loved 'My One True Friend' by Bette Midler - totally makes me bawl so it's probably better that we didn't!

    We're dancing to Take Good Care of My Baby by Bobby Vee. It's an oldie. Up beat, so it should be fun. No sappy crap for us! (it's for the best, my dad's a crier)

    I don't think I've heard of anyone else using this song, but I did and it was PERFECT for me & my dad. "It Won't Be Like This For Long" by Darius Rucker. It is so pretty and made me cry everytime!!

    @Lees4308: that song makes me tear up - so sweet. It was made for father daughter dances!

    We used Child of Mine by Carole King. My dad and I listened to a ton of songs listed as father/daughter dance suggestions and he kept asking if anyone really listens to the lyrics. Most songs in those lists are about romantic love. So after a million No answers, we found this song!

    I'm using Steve Kirwan's "My Little Girl", Miss Lamb was going to use it and I fell in love. I gave my dad 4 options, but hoped he picked it and it was his favorite, too.

    We're probably going to use "I loved her first."

    @Beesgf: I agree! I LOVE it! I don't think the DJ played the whole song, but I MADE sure that he played the part where he talks about walking her down the aisle...sooo sweet.

    We're dancing to Jack Johnson's "My Little Girl." I love it because it's not super cheesy or overplayed. It's the perfect beat for a foxtrot.
