i need help with a song

as many of you know DSD is turning 16 in january and we are having a big party for her.
she is going to slow dance with DH, her Dad.
her relationship with DH is weird, BM worked so hard to make him out to be a bad guy and SD is NOT a naturally warm, lovaeable kid. I'm sure some of you with SDs know what I mean about their relationship.
So she's trying to figure out a song to dance with him to, and most of the common father daughter songs are too mushy or they talk about a traditional married parent situation, which she thinks is "akward" KWIM?
Have you heard any songs that you think would be appropriate for this dance?

so far the only thing i can come up with is "somewhere over the rainbow" but I'm not sure about what version.

My ss and I danced to My Wish by Rascall Flatts at his wedding. When he heard me singing it to my gs it brought tears to his eyes and said it was "our song" but that he'd share it with his son.
There was also a post recently with a video of a father / daughter danced where they did a combination of songs. What about each picking 3 songs and having the DJ combine them?

We danced at my wedding (father/daughter) to Louie Armstrong - what a wonderful world. It kept the awkward-ness out for us too

Re: i need help with a song

"My Wish" is a good idea. Or what about "In my Life" by the Beatles or "I'll Be There"?

Re: i need help with a song

Would it be weird if DH picked the song? He loves" my little girl" tim mcgraw, SD said she's ok with him picking the song

Re: i need help with a song

My dad danced with my sister to Three Times a Lady on her wedding day.
Thanks for the times
That you've given me
The memories are all in my mind
And now that we've come
To the end of our rainbow
There's something
I must say out loud
You're once, twice
Three times a lady
Yes you're once twice
Three times a lady

And I love you
When we are together
The moments I cherish
With every beat of my heart
To touch you to hold you
To feel you to need you
There's nothing to keep us apart
You're once twice
Three times a lady
And I love you
I love you

I like I hope you dance
Hope You Dance lyrics

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance..
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)

How about Prince's The most beautiful girl in the world?

My niece did You'll be in my heart by Phil Collins.

Re: i need help with a song

at my wedding, I danced with my stepdad to a Billy Joel version of, When You Wish Upon a Star..

His first date with my mom was to a Billy Joel concert and it wasn't a traditional father/daughter song, so we thought it was perfect.
