Edwin McCain – Walk with You

Searching for father and daughter wedding dance songs while preparing for my wedding took an enormous amount of time because I wanted the perfect one. I chose this one because I was looking for something that was sweet but not sappy enough to make me cry. I didn’t want a song that everyone used and this one was just perfect. It tells the story of a father giving his daughter away at her wedding. He tells her she is still his little girl and now he’s gained a son. It is a truly beautiful song and several people in attendance told me they had never heard it before.

If you haven’t heard this version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," I highly recommend it. It is a slow and melodious version of the classic song and is sung beautifully. If you do not use it as an established dance song, at the very least, add it to your list of songs to play throughout the night.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

It's funny when I read the title I immediately thought of Butterfly Kisses. My dad made a mix tape for me when I was younger and this song has always been one of my favorites on it.

Mine was 'little ray if sunshine' by Bryan Cadd. It was the song playing on the radio when I was born :) I surprised my dad with a dance at our wedding and he cried :$

My dad and I are dancing to 'Little Miss Magic' by Jimmy Buffett. It's been our song since I was born!

I love 'my little girl' too, I think it's by Toby Keith :)

I really wonder how you manage to come with all of these inspirational ideas! It's one thing to think of an idea, but it's another to possess good tastes! My hats off to you!

Wow that first song was beautiful! Great choice :-)
