The Father/Daughter dance is one of the most sacred and special parts of any wedding reception. The song choice can make or break this dance for both the Father and Daughter. The song that is chosen should be a song that has special meaning for the father and daughter, but not something silly.

My top choices would be:
1) Butterfly Kisses - Bob Carlisle
This song exemplifies the relationship between the father and daughter. It tells the story of watching the little girl grow up, the joy that it has brought to the father.

2) A Dozen Red Roses - Tammy Graham
This song is a great choice if the father has passed on and someone else is standing in. The song is a story of a father leaving a note for his daughter to read on her wedding day, letting him be a part of it even if only in spirit.

3) A Whole New World - Peabo Bryson Regina Bell
This song is a great choice because it is the last dance between the father and daughter before she starts her new life with her spouse. It's a great song over all, because a wedding is the beginning of a new world for the couple.

Those are just a few songs that I consider to be the best choices for a father/daughter dance.
