Oh Boy Dance with my father again is a tough one. No way not to lose it. But, it is about a dead father. Stumbled upon this video by Amy Grant with a slightly different title. Not sure it is the "perfect song" though?

But read it again… “But I won't say "yes" to him unless I know, he's the half that makes you whole, he has a poet's soul, and the heart of a man's man.” That’s a solid nod to the groom, IMHO. And it’s what set my heart at peace. |

Congrats on the wedding. When my daughter got married in 2019 her Maid of Honor put together a mix we did a choreographed dance to. It started slow and then the roof got blown off. I'm surprised I'm not a youtube star. You might ask someone close to her what would be meaningful to her. Kids these days have somewhat different musical tastes compared to a bunch of old dudes on a car forum. Best of luck!

Maybe I’m Amazed is “our song” (wife and I). Yes...possibly the single best song in the history of the world. Will ask them to play that when the mom and dad dance happens.

Great song but hard to dance to.

Some good song suggestions. This was the one we used at our wedding 30 years ago. Still brings a chill every time I hear it.

If you choose one of the songs suggested here....might be smart to not admit it to your daughter.

Let JoLo and Matthew McConaughey help you out:
I had that exact same truck. When he swerved for the 'damn deer in the road' it should have flipped. I nearly flipped mine avoiding a deer in the road. Close call.

Choc- Now that you have reviewed the contenders, here's your song! This is the acoustic version, but a full band version is also available.
Lyrics Walk With You by Edwin McCainChorus I'll take this slow sweet walk with you You'll let go of my hand to say: I do He will discover just how blessed a life can be I know cuz all those years ago Someone handed you to me Every step that we take Brings back the memories Winter snows and horse shows Dancing on the beach I can't help thinking that I'm the lucky one You're still my baby daughter And now I've gained a son I'll take this slow sweet walk with you You'll let go of my hand to say : I do He will discover just how blessed a life can be I know 'cause all those years ago Your mom handed you to me Don't miss a chance to put each other first Now that you've vowed for better or for worse Don't let the beauty of this life pass you by In the times of trouble you'll stand side by side I'll take this slow sweet walk with you You'll let go of my hand to say : I do I picture a slow sweet walk yet to be When you'll take my hand and say : Daddy come see Then you'll know what it felt like You won't believe what it feels like Then you'll know what it felt like When she handed you to me She handed you to me |

Your welcome. Your daughter probably won't even mind that you needed a Pelican referral.
Beware that a few tears may be a part of the deal before you finish the dance. Congratulations to your daughter, yourself, and both families! |
