loving lyrics and their simple tune are perfect for a quick spin around the dance floor Plus can't you just picture a father teasingly dipping his daughter on those ending notes so adorable yeah [Music] number nine Gracie Ben Folds you can't fool me I saw you and you came out all you need to do is sway to this tune it's sweet message and the tears in both your and your father's eyes we'll do the rest Ben Folds wrote this song for his own daughter when she was young [Music] didn't really wanna be great seeker so although the lyrics focused mainly on the first years of a daughter's life any father is bound to be feeling nostalgic on his daughters big day so hold him close and let him reminisce as you both dance to the piano of this beautiful little ditty [Music] gonna see me you and me number eight my little girl Tim McGraw [Music] you go country music has always had a way of telling a heartfelt story that really gets under your skin and Tim McGraw is one of the kings of country so of course he can write one of the best country songs about fatherly love [Music] not only that but McGraw's twangy vocals paired with the strings of an orchestra make this song great for any heartfelt moment with dad ultimately though this ballad is begging to be shared in a waltz on the dance floor [Music] number seven how sweet it is to be loved by you James Taylor as the title suggests this song is just plain sweet and it's another song that is definitely meant to be danced to which isn't surprising since the original Motown version another fabulous choice is sung by the legendary Marvin Gaye you just feel that grooving beat right from the start can't you and listen to those lovely lyrics that are bursting at the seams with pure love this tune practically calls to kick off your heels and just have a good time spinning and laughing around the dance floor and who better to do that within your old or not so old men how sweet it is indeed [Music] I just wanna stop [Music] number six daughter Loudon Wainwright the third we're slowing it down just a bit again for this one this beautifully honest song about a father's undying love for his daughter is a cover of a Peter Blake that song [Music] but it's the lyrics that matter and loud and Wainwright the third puts a spin on them that makes the song a bit more applicable for a wedding dance so why not give it a spin for that duet dance with your dad we can almost guarantee that everyone will have tears in their eyes [Music] number five my girl the temptations this song is just plain fun and written in a common 4/4 time it is just right to sway to with your pops its lyrics are timeless in their message is one that any dad has felt towards his daughter since the day she was born those carrying lyrics combined with that irrepressible and inimitable Motown beat make this song just the right mixture if you're looking to go a little old-school for that father-daughter dance but warning it might be difficult to keep your other guests from dancing too [Music] [Applause] number four father and daughter Paul Simon this is yet another song that might make it difficult to keep your other wedding guests in their seats Paul Simon has always had a way of doing that though with his fancy guitar picking and brilliant melodies and like every song on this list the message of these lyrics is sugary sweet and will leave you with a tear or two in your eye but hey isn't grooving to a beat in a few tears exactly what you're going for on your wedding day [Music] number three isn't she lovely Stevie Wonder let's kick it old-school again with this Stevie Wonder classic swaying to this upbeat tune on the dance floor will seem effortless as Wonder kroons out the sentiments of a father to his daughter [Music] sure it was written when Stevie Wonder's daughter was first born but the lyrics apply throughout a daughter's life and we're pretty confident that a father will find a daughter just as lovely on her wedding day as the day she was born especially on her wedding day no doubt [Music] number two I loved her first heartland to you dancing that this country did he will tug at the heartstrings from the first few notes on that fiddle written through the eyes of a father reminiscing as he watches his daughter dance with her true love this song cuts right to the core not only is the message of the lyrics perfect
