Finding that special song to dance with your father is part of the planning process. It has to say the right words and it must represent the relationship between the father and the daughter. I’ve just come across two new songs that can be used as a father and daughter dance, whether at a Wedding or a Quinceañera. They are absolutely wonderful. Check them and remember, these have not been over-used and if you are looking for something new that nobody else has played as their father and daughter dance, you might have just found that special song
Chuck Wicks Stealing Cinderella |
|
LYRICS:I came to see her daddy for sit down man to man It wasn’t any secret I’d be asking for her hand I guess that’s why he left me waiting in the living room by myself with at least a dozen pictures of her sitting on a shelf- Chorus -She was playing Cinderella She was riding her first bike Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight Running through the sprinkler with a big Popsicle grin Dancing with her dad, looking up at him In her eyes I’m Prince Charming But to him I’m just some fella riding in and stealing Cinderella I leaned in towards those pictures to get a better look at one Playing Cinderella He slapped me on the shoulder Playing Cinderella |

Phil Collins You’ll Be In My Heart |
|
LYRICS:Come, stop your crying, it will be all right Just take my hand, hold it tight I will protect you from, all around you I will be here, don’t you cryFor one so small, you seem so strong My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm This bond between us, can’t be broken I will be here, don’t you cry1-‘CAUSE you’ll be in my heart YES, you’ll be in my heart From this day on, now and forever more 2-You’ll be in my heart Why can’t they understand the way we feel? Don’t listen to them, ’cause what do they know? (repeat 1..BELIEVE ME..I’LL BE THERE) Always, I’ll be with you |
Happy Planning!

I, too, just came across a fantastic new father-daughter song called “GIVE YOU AWAY”. I love “Playing Cinderella” and “Butterfly Kisses”, but this may just be my new favorite. Anyway, here’s where I downloaded it…

song title: “GIVE YOU AWAY”
Enjoy!
Hello, I’m having my Quinceanera here pretty soon. And my dad and I are dancing to My Wish by: Rascal Flatts. The song is just perfect, because it’s about growing, and picking the right choice! IT”S PERFECT! It brings tears do my eyes. lol!
Hi Ashleigh and Alicia,
Ashleigh, I listened to that song and it’s really nice and yes it is a great one for a father daughter dance. I like it and will include it in my lists to give to brides and quinceaneras. Hopefully that helps them get something new for their father daughter dances.
Thank you
Alicia, that song is a new classic and I have used it a few times. It’s good that you recommend it. I will add it to my next father daughter or wedding and quinceanera song lists.
Thank you
