The 10 Best Father/Daughter Dance Song Ideas

Cinderella - Steven Curtis Chapman

Cinderella - Steven Curtis Chapman mp3

Top lyrics for a father daughter dance:

Well, she came home today with a ring on her hand

Just glowing and telling us all they had planned

She says,

"Dad, the wedding's still six months away

But I need to practice my dancing

Oh, please, Daddy, please?"

So I will dance with Cinderella

While she is here in my arms

'Cause I know something the prince never knew

Oh, I will dance with Cinderella

I don't wanna miss even one song

'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight

And she'll be gone

I Loved Her First - Heartland

I Loved Her First - Heartland mp3

Top lyrics for a father daughter dance:

When she first smiled at me

I knew the love of a father runs deep

And I prayed that she'd find you someday

But it's still hard to give her away

I loved her first

I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too
