It HAS to be “The Way You Look Tonight”. There’s such a beautifully bittersweet flavour to the lyrics that’s perfect for a father who has given his daughter away in marriage, don’t you think?
My favorite father-daughter song is “I Loved Her First” by Heartland because I especially like the lyrics
“But I loved her first, I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep”
s a DJ, one of the nice songs I get requests for is “How Sweet It Is”– I’m used to warm inviting songs like “Always Daddy” and “I Hope You Dance”
This is quite different not a lovey dovey type but fun anyway
